I recently told my husband that I would like to take over paying our bills. He has done it since we got married and the other day I was thinking about the fact that if something ever happened to him, I would not know anything about our finances. He has several online accounts set up and I do not know the passwords for any of them. He used to do everything on paper, but ever since we got WildBlue internet, he has done everything online. He told me that he does not want to completely hand over all of the bill paying, but he does want to teach me how to do everything in case I ever have to do it alone. I have never been the type that is totally dependent on my husband, but when we got married, the bills stressed me out. He offered to take them over and I gladly accepted. My husband and I plan to spend Saturday morning going over our finances and he is going to tell me where he keeps everything for all of our accounts. At least then I will be able to do it by myself if I needed to.

I miss our church in Texas. My hubby was given the chance to preach there a few times. One Wednesday night in 2007, my hubby had the chance to preach in our church. Our pastor and his wife were in Ohio that time and he designated some people to preach while he was away. Fortunately my hubby is one of those he designated to preach. I was so excited to hear my hubby preach that night. It has been a while since the last time he preached. While he was up there in the pulpit I was busy praying for him. I prayed that God would give him heavenly wisdom to bring his message in the church. Our service went well and hubby delivered his message that God wanted him to preach. I praised and thanked God because it's a great honor and privilege for my hubby just to stand up there and preach the Word of God.

My husband and I recently moved to Virginia Beach, and we used the opportunity to switch our television service to direct tv virginia beach. This is a great place to live, and we’re loving every second of getting to explore our new city. There is something to be said for spending a quiet evening in watching television though, so we’re trying to enjoy our time spent relaxing in our home as much as we do our time out and about enjoying Virginia Beach. It’s so fast to make a change to a better television provider, and making the switch will allow you to enjoy multiple television stations, tons of movie channels, and a lot of music channels as well. The ability to just flop down on the couch after a long day at work and spend a few mindless hours watching television has been priceless during the stress of the move, and I look forward to our “nights in” at this point. Definitely look into making a change and I promise you won’t regret it. Feel free to invite me over to enjoy a movie as well.

It's Christmas time once again. This will be our 3rd Christmas since we came back here in my homeland. I already miss Texas and I can't help myself remembering our Christmas celebrations in our church there in 2007.

We had such a great time that night during the Ladies' Christmas party held in our Church. It was hosted by Ms. Marsha, our pastor's wife. She prepared mostly finger foods and some ladies brought some desserts. I was so hungry that I ate to my heart's delight. The foods were delicious. After we ate, we picked our gifts. By the way each lady had to bring a gift worth $10. Ms. Marsha let us draw lots and I got number 13. The lady who got number 1 was the first to pick a gift. Then she opens it and have to display it. If the next lady wanted the gift that Lady number 1 got then she can steal it and the first lady will have to pick another gift. It was really fun. The gift I got was a pair of candle holders. They were so cute and when I got home I displayed it in our coffee table. I was the only one who brought a camera so as usual I took some photos.

I hadn’t had television in a really long time, because I ended up watching it all the time and not getting any of my work done. Recently, I decided that I thought I had enough self-control to log onto directv.com and get a television package and have it installed. I really didn’t know what I was missing. There were so many new shows that each of my friends always talks about, and I am totally out of the loop. I have just been watching reruns of old shows on Netflix. There is this new show on HBO, that all my friends get together on Sunday and watch, that I started watching. It is called “Boardwalk Empire”. The show is set in New Jersey, specifically, Atlantic City in the 1920s. It is a drama about bootlegging and crooked politics in Atlantic City when it was just getting popular. It is really a great show and I think that it is pretty historically accurate. Now I can at least relate to my friends about this show and join them on Sunday nights!

Thanksgiving Day is fast approaching. It's the 3rd year that hubby and I will be spending it away from his family. I remember those past thanksgiving celebrations that we had in Texas and all I can tell is we had lots of foods. Stacy, Sherry and I cooked delicious and yummy meal. There were lots of leftovers too. One Thanksgiving Day celebration I remember was in 2006. It's good I saved the pics in my picasa album so here are the pics.

Attention world travelers! Want to visit some place exotic, yet where it's easy to be a tourist? Have you always dreamed of traveling to the Arabian Peninsula? Do you want to indulge yourself in gourmet, food and shopping? Do you love clear skies and little rain? Then it's time to think about a visit to Dubai, one of the seven United Arab Emirates along the northern shore of the African continent, on the Persian Gulf. I heard it's so beautiful there and just stunning, sitting in resorts, site seeing and exploring their nice tourist spot. Dubai tourism is one of the best among the rest with its remarkable vacation offers such as sand skiing, adventure safaris, desert safari, city tours, and the modern sky-scrapers in Dubai.

One of my cousins is working in Dubai. She told me how nice are the tourist spots there. Makes me want to visit that country. I love to see and explore other places and certainly Dubai is in my list. Dubai is one of the richest nations in the world, due in large part to its vast oil resources. Many of the residents in Dubai don't even have to work to support their luxury lifestyles. Supported by oil profits, they are free to shop and play all day! It was even voted a few years ago that Dubai is the world's safest locale. People who live there claim there is virtually no crime.

Six years ago I was confined at the rehab hospital in Texas for recovery from stroke. I stayed there for a month and everyday I was trained by different physical therapists so I could regain my strength. I had male and female therapists and everyday they were wearing their medical uniforms. I remember the color of their uniforms were white, green, blue and maroon. I was wondering where do they buy their scrubs until I came across this site http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/. I think this is where most of my physical therapists before bought their medical scrubs. My physical therapist had helped me a lot and after a few months of working with them I gained back my strength. They really did a good job!

If only I'm still in contact with them I will recommend to them to check out those medical scrubs for sale from Bluesky Scrubs. The scrubs are chic, professional and comfortable and they are made in USA. These scrubs can't be found in the stores. It can only be bought online from the above website.
