Our New Baby Boy

This is the newest addition to Steve and Nui. We just got "Rocky" @4pm on Sunday May 3rd. Rocky is a mix of Labrador and Sheppard. He came with his 1st set of shots and the Adoption Animal Foundation where we got him from will also pay for the 2nd set of shots and for him to be neutered.

Buckeye(the cat) took to Rocky fine so far. Popcorn is still undecided and a little unsure of what to do, what else to say but Popcorn is a "momma's boy"

Marlins

Gooooooo Marlins...
On April 24, 2009 Steve and Nui when to their first Marlins game. They played the phillys. The game started out great for the Marlins when they scored 3 runs in the first inning. Then nothing happened until the 9th inning when the phillys came back and scored 7runs...
We both were in shocked of what had happened..lol
But the good part was that the weather was nice!
Now keep in mind that neither Steve or Nui is a Marlins fans but since we both live in Florida... We decided to blend in..lol
But don't worry... when our teams comes down to play the Marlins... we will convert back!

Miami Heat

On April 16,2009... Steve's company took us to the Miami heat game. The seats were in the sky box. We couldn't ask for anything better. We were living the life..lol... All the food you can eat and all the drinks you can drink... O.. and on top of that... We were in our private room...
We had soooooooooo much fun.. Steve got a lil crazy..lol He was dancing and just enjoying life... For a second there, Nui thought that he was going to jump off into the people after the game went into overtime and the heat won.
All in all.. it was definitely one of the night to remember..

Love versus Drugs

So, lets see.... Where do I begin?

I've been struggling with this topic for a while now and I need some help. I don't know what is worse...being addicted to drugs or being addicted to love. Not that I am pro or against drugs, but just looking at it from a different perspective.

I mean... Love is a wonderful thing when you find it... People never have anything bad to say about love until it goes bad. But drugs can also a wonderful thing for the people that needs it to survive.

Love can become a dependent... So can drugs

Love can betters your well being... So can drugs

Love can make you cry... So can drugs

Love can make you laugh... So can drugs

Love can become addiction... So can drugs

Love can cause you to have breakdowns in your mind... So can drugs

Love can make you function incorrectly... So can drugs

Love can leave you wanting more... So can drugs

Love can make the sky bluer... So can drugs

Love can make the grass greener... So can drugs

Love can make the ocean more beautiful... So can drugs

Are you getting my point? Everything that love does.. Drugs can do too...
Both love and drugs can either make you or break you....
So if both love and drugs have the same consequences then why do we choose one over another?
Why do we teach the younger generation that drugs are bad and love is good when both drugs and love have the same effect?

See what I mean? I'm stuck... I don't know why I chose to fall in love and not fall in drugs.. But all I know is that Every now and then I go thru with-draws from not seeing Steve... I think that I'm addicted to Steve... He can possibility be worse than drugs to me...lol

Rough week...

Last week, Nui had a very rough week. For a while now, she has been unhappy with working for Changs. Since the economy went bad, there was no room for her to move up for trainer to manager. (not that she wanted to become a manager) But she also didn't want to be serving and training for the rest of her life. She needed more and felt like she was stuck in the same old place and same old crap everyday... She dread going to work everyday. And of course.. you know what they say... If you have one bad day a week, its ok.. but when you start having three or more continuously then it's time to go. Well this past weekend has come down to that... Nui finally decides that she needed a change, she needed to get out of this business..

She has been looking for jobs online for a while now and the work field is just so competitive. She didn't give up and continue looking... and finally!.. the same day that she decided that she had enough... an email came in... Although she has no experience in selling or marketing, this company still gave her a chance. They gave her the tool and the skills to be successful in the field. Even though it is not her dream job, she still have the opportunity of making lots of money in the long run.

As one door closes... another door opens... How true is that?

This job is very demanding on her time, but that's the scarifies that Nui and Steve will have to make if they want to be able to live comfortably.... To be able to success in this market, NUi will have to really hard and devote her time to it. And Steve will have to understand that this will all pay of in the end and just support Nui in the decision that she makes...

Well... Wish us luck into this phase that we are going thru in our lives....

Missing them already

For the past couple of days Scott and Scotty came to visit us in Florida. We had a great time doing absolutely nothing. Scotty had gotten so big that he is up to Nui's chest now. We must admit that he is such an awesome kid. He is full of personality and charm. We sure wish that they could have stayed longer. The house seems so quiet today after they left.
Although we enjoyed Scott and Scotty visiting us, we would have enjoyed it more if Donna and Alexis came along too. We wonder if Scotty is as tall as Nui's chest then Alexis must be as tall as Nui now.
We are so proud of Alexis for being such a good girl and a good student. We sure miss her and hope to see her in the near future.
It's always nice and comforting to have family close by... Hint Hint.. Mom..
It's horrible that Steve's family lives so far away from us, we would definitely love to spend time with mom and dad, Scott, Donna, Alexis and Scotty more than just once a year.
We sure miss you and think about you all all the time.

New game...

We bought a new game for the wii.. Nascar Kart Racing.. So as you can see, Kyle Busch is leading the pack like he always is. Steve thinks that Jr. is ahead but he is wrong. Jr. is actually a lap behind..lol... Although we haven't played the game yet, but it looks like its going to be a fun one. Nui can't wait to blow up Jr. and beat Steve in this game. Steve thinks that he is going to beat Nui but he has another thing coming his way..hehehe.. Jr. has yet to win a race, and he will yet to win this one.. Anyways, we will definitely keep you updated of the status of who is winning the game!

Way over due...

Alrighty.. So we know that its been like forever since the last time we updated this blog. We are truly sorry. We have been so busy trying to balance our lives. But now we are back and we will try very hard to keep you updated with our daily lives. We will also go back in time and update you in what we have been up too...

It's only hair...

On March 16 2009, Nui cut off all of her hair. She chopped of 12 inches of hair from her head. Her hair is going to "Wigs For Kids".. a foundation that makes wigs for kids with cancer. This will be the fifth time that she has done this. It takes about one and a half years for her hair to grow long enough to send it of to the foundation. Even though, she has no regrets cutting off her hair cuz she knows that it is going for a good cause, it is still pretty hard for her to get use to her new hair.The biggest mistake was taking Steve with her to get her hair cut. LOL As we all know, Steve does not like hair. Of course when the opportunity came along where Nui gave Steve the option to tell the hairdresser what kind of style he wanted for her, he went crazy and told her to cut it all off. Steve loves Nui's new hair but Nui is not to fond of it. She thinks that is a little to short and it's just not her. She never had her hair this short before in her life. But in the end... It's only hair.... it'll grow back..

Daytona 500

On Feb 15, 2009 Steve took NUi to her first Daytona 500 race. We met up with Scott and Donna. We had a great time. Although Nui was very upset that Jr. (Steve's driver) was a bad driver and hit Kyle Busch (Nui's Driver) causing him out of the race she still stayed and watch the rest of it. The funny part was that Jr. did not have a chance of winning but because he didn't like Kyle, he decides to take him down.. LOL.. Scott and Donna's drivers did well also... They all managed to stay out of Jr.'s way. And for some odd and stranger reason, Kenseth(Dad's Driver) managed to win the race... Even though Kenseth won because of the rain, it was still a win. We all would have definitely taken the win if it was one of our guy. LOL. Nui thinks that dad really wanted to be there with us, that's why he sent his driver to beat us all.. Over all we had a wonderful time.. The weather was perfect for camping out. But could have definitely done without the port-a-potty!
