So i have a mac and i have widgets on my mac. They are just little mini programs that can let you view different things quickly (to to mac.com and look for widgets there are a ton, from weather to email to daily words). anways so i have a bible verse of the day on there and i love reading it everyday. Some verses i've heard and others i havent. todays was a good one. At church Louie has been talking about Truth. and what is real Truth. This verse reminded me of real truth and i believe louie shared it the week before last...
John 14:1-7
1 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
i love to know that through Jesus, I have a place in heaven just as Jesus does. I like the analogy of a giant house. although it is big, there is a place just for me. my very own room in the kingdom!! :) I also like this because of the fact that Jesus is our way to truth, life and to God. Sometimes God seems a little intimidating to me. I know he loves me but i can't help to be intimidated. Jesus is my best friend really. i feel comfortable talking and sharing, and never feel overpowered by him. Im thankful that God gave us His son. Im also thankful that i have Jesus, Himself, living in me everyday. This is the Good News!!!
Love you all!!

Fotography!!!
So as some of you know, i started my own fotography business with my roommate/sister, Kylie. And so far its a lot of fun. I've been missing some church which is hard, but with the online files i can still listen. :)
so this weekend we headed to marysville ca, for a local motocross event. I love motocross and it is great to be able to take pictures. We stayed with my grandparents. Thanks to those who have prayed for my grandpa. He is doing good and looks good. he was up and walkin around, and in good spirits, just like he always is!! He has been undergoing chemotherapy and just got shingles. so its hard right now, but hes doing great!!
me and kylie didnt get track permission to take pictures yet for this race. but we went anyways hoping that it would all work out. and it did perfectly. we were scared we were gonna drive all the way there and have them deny us, and turn back around and come home. but no. they were awsome and really nice. its funny how many christians you see at a motocross race. before they sang the national anthem, they said a prayer. how cool is that??!! that was definately a highlight (since i didnt get home intime for college group now you know what my highlight was...)
It was a great race though, two people were hauled away in an ambulance, one with broken ribs and leg, and the other with a broken arm i think. scary at times, especially when you are close to the crash and know you need to run on the track and stand in front of the injured rider til the flaggers and medical staff can come. but those were the only bad crashes. The little kids are fun because when they fall over they just stand next to the bike and wait for someone to help them up. and i think every 50cc and 60cc bike i picked up and started, started differently and was geared different. ahh. some kicked forward others backwards. it was fun helpin them though. :)
there was another fotographer out there too, he was at the last one also, but hes awesome. really nice. me and kylie are gonna print a nice pic of him (he also races in the 40+ class) overall we were blessed to run into so many great people at these events, check out some of the fotos!! www.flipflopfotography.com
love you all, God bless, and good nite!

trouble in toon's town
ok sooo this blog this may be a bad idea for me. i love typing journal type things, but ive never actually kept a journal. Tonite i have a story a little more on the serious side, although i know it is out of character... So here's my story:
The weekend before last, i went out to ferntucky (fernley) to take pics of the motorcyle race out there. and we made a big plan for my brother to come out and bring is trailer so we could camp (we is me, my bro, kylie, and her little bro). So i call him saterday morning and he tells me he may not come out because he is buying a truck. soooo i got a little upset, because here i was the day of the race, and gonna have to go back home and not camp now. so i called my dad. he said that steve (my bro) would be out there it would just be later after he got his truck. ok. no prob. but as the day goes on, i didnt know the status, matt (kylies bro) was waiting at home for steve to pick him up....we called him a few more times to see the status of him comming out, what time when if how why etc...so to make a long story short, he got frustrated by the 10 phone calls that day and decided not to come out at all. AHHH wanted to scream, but thank GOD for my roommate, she turned it into a positive, we came home and then went out golfing, had a good time just hanging out. (and matt came up with another one of his friends). So i was a little mad, but i got over it, no sense in staying mad.
today was the first time i've talked to my parents and brother since, and went i went down to their house i was chewed out for being in the wrong and for being selfish in my thoughts that saterday. i really dont feel like i was, but finally ended up frustrated and tried to end the conversation with i dont care, im sorry i'm sure i am a little in the wrong....blah blah blah. (im sure with a little attitude, ill admit it) so it ended with my mom (really step mom, really confusing...i dont expect anyone to understand) saying i was selfish, and compared me to my real mom (i dont get along with my real mom at all, and well i dont think very highly of her at times, although our relationship is getting better slowly)
so my point to this blog, is what to do now. do i suck it up, appologize for something i dont feel i am wrong for? Do i wait for my family to come around to me?? Even my dad is upset at me and that is a first for me ever. im just a little unraveled by this, but again, thanks tp kylie i can sleep in good spirits. I thank God for her everyday.

"sounds like someone has a case of the mondays"
well it was definately a monday, first thing at work today i spent 5 minutes explaining to a lady over the phone what the shift key was.....frustrating because at the end of the conversation i gave up and just told her to keep using the cap locks key as a shift key.....
so today was long, one of my co-workers had food posioning the nite before and he looked bad today so i sent him home and covered his shift too. not too much longer but still. i still had to go grocery shopping which i love. i really do, my roommate kylie makes it a lot of fun and there is never a dull moment at the walmart. we have a self checkout record, 89 items, $179, and all in 12 minutes. check out the pic of it on my myspace: www.myspace.com/littledebi
so we are out of food and so was walmart, so we didnt even have 50 items, bummer but the total was exactly $100 which was cool. our new thing is to sign our names with our left hand, its funny. we also got some stuff for our business and we did self checkout in spanish (no neither of us knows spanish) and then she signed my name, in spanish lol!!! it was debio garrezo, and with her left hand!! good times.
when we got home we set up the camping chairs we bought in the living room, sat and chatted for a little while watchin some tv. i love it! that was my nite, im beat and going to bed. hittin it a little early tonite, maybe tomorrow ill get up early and do my hair...maybe.
