Day 24- A letter to your parents

I really like my life to be private, but who said having a blog that your life would be,   But really I don't have to write a letter to my parents.  I just keep it real and tell them how I feel if something is bothering me.  or if I want to thank them or just to even tell them that I love them.

Day 23- Something you crave for a lot

Well Well Well,  I have very few cravings and what I usually crave the most is hot cheetos with LEMON! 

• Butterfingers
• Life Savor Gummis

Thats it! :)

Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else

Well, I think that everyone has something special about them.  However, I do not like talking about myself. lol.  But what makes me different from everyone else is that I am sold out for Jesus.  I serve such an awesome God who has done so many things in my life that I cannot give anyone else credit except him.  He has opened so many doors in my life that I just cannot keep up.   I am a very compassionate person,  I have a desire to help people.  I am a very giving person,  I cannot tell people "no" which sometimes could be bad and bad because I am so giving.  :)

Day 21- A picture of something that makes you happy

There are so many things that make me happy.  My heart has so much love for my family!

Here is me and Derek.. I am giving him goo goo eyes.  I love him so much!

                                This is our Molly Coco.  I love thisdog.. She is like a little human. :)

 This is Mariah.  Ah, my beautiful Neice.

 This is Derek in Afghanistan.  Not sure where his weapon is though.. lol

 Me and Princess.

 I taught Mariah how to give kisses!!

Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future or about your spouse.

Well, being that I am already married.  I cannot picture my life being more perfect.  in general I will have to say that my life is perfect, well to me it is. and thats all that matters.  My husband is the light of my life.. he has been more perfect to me than any person has ever attempted to be.  My husband Derek I will always hold near and dear to my heart.  I never pictured myself being married young.. well, to me I am young..LOL. I wanted to wait until about 25-30 but I eventually bit the big one and got married.  We ran off and got married and no one found out that we got married until a week before Dereks 1st deployment.  And we hurt a lot of people doing it that way... but its okay.. Derek is a wonderful man and he does put up with a lot because I can be quite the handful sometimes.  Most people who have given up on me and my personality, but not Derek.  He has been through everything with me, thick and thin.  And I cannot thank God enough for the Man of God that my husband is.  Every day he is becoming a better husband.  I always told myself I wanted to marry someone just like my dad, and I sure did.  He wears sweats and moccasins just LIKE MY dad.. haha.. So I do beyond a shadow of a doubt love my husband uncoditionally.

Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them

I have so many different nick names people call me and that I call people.  My husband calls me Wife.  which I absolutely love.. just the name says it all. I am his wife.  It gets me all gitty and I smile, cause I love it.  And when we are goofying around he calls me woman.. which I really dont care for all that much but I go with it...  Nicknames I call my husband are babe-o.. I love calling him babe-o!.  I have never heard anyone call that name to anyone.. so to me babe-o is uinque.  I also like husband.. and sweetheart... oh and I love calling him My Love..   kinda cheesy but thats what married people do. :)

Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have

Well, I have so many desires that have been placed in my heart since I was a little child..  and as oddly as it sounds I still have every desire and dream that I spoke of when I was a little girl.  First and foremost my number one desire is to never stop desiring God.  I have been raised in the church since I was about 4 years old.  And ever since that first time I was touched by the hand of Jesus I knew I wanted nothing else but for him to live inside my heart..  Secondly,  my next desire is to become a doctor.  I have been down the medical field path since I was 17 years old.  And honestly I do not see myself coming near to giving up.  I mean, I have my little doubts here and there but that's just the enemy telling me I cannot succeed.  Which is not true, because with God ALL things are possible.  and if I have faith the size of a mustard seed I can do beyond great things.  :)

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

Hmm.  I know this is probably weird to say, but the only person(s) I would switch lives with for 1 day would be, hands down a Marine.  Many people don't know what these young men and woman go through on a day to day basis and just for one day I would love to be able to wear a uniform proudly and call myself a Marine.  I know it sounds cheesy, but my husband always gives me a hard time because he said I will never know what its like doing hikes, uts and boots, field ops.  no showers for months at a time or even being away from family.. OR eating MRE's. lol.

Day 16- Another picture of yourself

Here are some AWESOME pictures of me!  First one is Dereks 2nd Homecoming from Afghanistan! July 4th, 2010

Second one is from Dereks first homecoming!  August 28th 2009!!

And this is a random picture that I took for my hubbard!

Day 15- Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play

Hmm.. Havent touched my Ipod in quite sometime so here is my first 10:
1.  The Bee Gees- You should be dancing
2. Bethany Dillon- Aimless
3.  Michael Jackson- I just can't stop loving you.
4. Queen- Bohenmian Rhapsody
5.  Sanctus Real- We need each other
6. Rick Pino- Doves Eyes
7. Colbie Ciallat- Never let you go
8. Joy Williams- We
9. Leona Lewis- Bleeding Love
10.  John Legend- Save Room

Those are my 10 random songs.  I really enjoy music. and I love ALL kinds of music.  Anything from gospel music to hard classic rock.

Day 14- A picture of you and your family

These are not the greatest of photos but this is the greatest family ever!

Wedding day

Sisters!

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

To be honest, I don't let people hurt me.  And by me saying I dont let I mean I do not tolerate anyone disrepecting me or anyone around me.  I can't even remember the last time anyone hurt me.  Which, I dont think it is bad at all. :)

Day 12- How you found out about Blogger and why you made one

Well, originally I had a livejournal account.  I had that account since 2000,  since my freshman year of high school.  well just like myspace was sooo cool in the early 2000's... the upgrade was Facebook.. and the upgrade from Live Journal was to open a Blogger account.  Never used to be the blogging type.  But I enjoy it.

Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends

I dont have many friends but the ones I have make my life better than ever, here are some pictures with my friends

This picture is the Reynas and Gonzalez Family.  We had a madatory 3/5 meeting in Irvine.  Family day for the Battalion

And these are some of the greatest guys you will ever get to meet.  From the left, Derek my husband, Ochoa, Paulo and Etrata

Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

There are so many songs that I listen to on a day to day basis that I have a whole list. 

Songs I listen to when I am sad are love songs, Alicia Keys mostly. 

Songs when I am happy I listen to worship music, fast paced music and dance music

And when I am bored, I just choose not to listen to music.  :)

or when I am mad, or "hyped"

Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few days

There is something that I always do that gives me the "wow" factor. Weird enough right? Well I am beyond proud to be able to say that I will be a homeowner in three very short months. My husband and I decided to take the plunge and purchase a house. And we did. Buying a home or making any major decesion that takes time for prayer is a big step. And without serving an Awesome God this couldnt be possible. Now I always hear people say how many wonderful things are happening, which is awesome. but I never hear people give God praise. So today, I thank God for all that he has done in my life, my husbands life. and the things he will continue to do. I am a beyond blessed woman, and I know this. I have a wonderful husband who serves the Lord and loves me with his whole heart. And I couldnt be more happy. God is good. The devil is a liar. and ALL praise goes to God.

Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why

Well, I try to always give myself short term goals, but for this month I'm gonna have to go with Christmas Shopping. Christmas is next month that the thought hasnt even sunken in yet to get on my shopping list. Granted, We are buying a house and I'm not saying times are tough but right now our financial situation is a little different and our priorities are with saving. However, I would love to go out and spend money on my family. I love spending and giving to people who are important to me. Ask anyone and they will tell you how giving we are, there is nothing that is in our power that we wouldnt do.. So I say Christmas shopping.

My list goes for:
-Derek
-Mom
-Dad
-Vanessa
-Manuel
-Angelica
-BABY Mariah
-Dereks dad Marlon
-and other little nacks for relatives.

That should do.

Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

There have been so many people throughout my life that have impacted my life in more than one way but the two that I have to go with are My husband Derek and my neice Mariah Adrielle.

First, my husband Derek. My husband Derek has been more far amazing than I thought I could ever have. He is the light of my life and is the most respectful individual I have ever met. Not only does he love me, but he would do anything for me. Words cannot express how much I love and desire him.

Secondly, My neice Mariah Adrielle. Let me tell you how much of a handful this lil baby is but she is by far, hands down the most amazing thing ever invented! Currently she is 11 months old and this little girl has more personality that some 20 years olds have. However, the reason why she is so important to me is because before her I never ever wanted or desired children. and now when I am with her, I cannot picture my life without kids. She has changed my heart and my heart aches when I cant see her. She makes all our lives very happy!

Day 06- Favorite super hero and why

Never ever have I been one of those kids who watched cartoons on Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal. and to be honest, I just googled superheros and I can't recall any of the names. Does this mean I am getting old? or does it mean that I am crazy for not growing up and watching these superhero shows? Oh well. :) I do howeveer, remember that my husband is crazy about Batman. Not sure why though. :)

Day 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to

I've been to so many different places throughout the 23 merely short years of my life, however one locations sets apart from the rest. The Grand Canyon. I am very fortunate to live close to one of the seven wonders of the world. We, my sisters, my brother in law and myself went in Jan of 2009. It was so beautiful. It was snowing and beyond balls cold.

Heres one of me and my baby sister overlooking the great wonder.


so crazy how my sister looks so far away but shes right there.

Now, one with all 3 of us.

Baby sister making snow angels

Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have

Hmm, a bad habit. Just one? oh where should I begin? Well the worse habit of all is nail biting. I have been biting nails since before I had teef. :) nail biting is such a disgusting habit. and every year I've been trying to break it. well for my new years resolution every year its the same one. haha

another bad habit that I am currently in the process of starting is.... DRIVING FAST. I am an unbelievably fast driver. I cut people off, I break check them. I drive sometimes 30+ over the speed limit, I text while driving and I dont use my turning signals. boy this one has been adjusting quite fast actually. My mother was involved in a car accident last week and since then I havent done any of these. Ok, I just lied. I sped this morning to work cause I was running late. :()

Day 03- A Picture of you and your friends

And this, this is my best friend. Derek. Derek and I at the Marine Corps ball 2009. amazing night with some unbelievable people.

These are Some of the greatest guys you will ever meet. Paulo on the right, and Adfaulter on the left. Marine Corps Ball 2009 Now, I am quite not sure when this was taken but I am almost positive this was the weekend I found out that Derek was deploying to Afhganistan so I said, "f you deployment" and got completely and utterly wasted (which will never happen again) and ended up in the ER from an panic attack! AMAZING yet funny NIGHT! This is Angela and Me.

The meaning behind my blog name

Well not much to exactly explain except that instead of just Ms. its MRS. I am married to the most amazing, most respectful, most loving, most incredible man I have ever met, aside from Daddy. :) Elobrating on the name Mrs. Gonzo.. Hmm. Well going from day 1's post.

4. I was recently diagnosed with Lung Disease. COPD-

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common lung diseases. It makes it difficult to breathe. There are two main forms of COPD:

Chronic bronchitis, defined by a long-term cough with mucus
Emphysema, defined by destruction of the lungs over time

Causes
Smoking is the leading cause of COPD. The more a person smokes, the more likely that person will develop COPD although some people smoke for years and never get COPD.

In rare cases, nonsmokers who lack a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin can develop emphysema.

Other risk factors for COPD are:

Exposure to certain gases or fumes in the workplace
Exposure to heavy amounts of secondhand smoke and pollution
Frequent use of cooking gas without proper ventilation

Symptoms include-
Cough with mucus
Shortness of breath (dyspnea) that gets worse with mild activity
Fatigue
Frequent respiratory infections
Wheezing

7. I have a very strong fear of getting my hair cut. Cutting my hair is the worse thing that happens to me yearly, aside from the gyno violating me.

8. Today is my birthday, and I am terribly terrified of aging. I am scared to get wrinkly and saggy.

9. I am allergic to pretty much everything that floats in the air, and because of it I should belong in a bubble. My supervisor makes fun of me and calls me Bernie Hives. and I hate that nickname.

10. My family is gonna be millionaires. You know why, because my brother in law is going to be playing professional soccer for this team IN TURKEY!
