I wish wishes would come true...

I wish I didn't feel so helpless
I wish I didn't act so selfish
I wish I didn't wring my hands night and day
My hair was a little bit smoother
My jeans fit a little bit looser
And I always knew the right things to say
And I wish I wouldn't hide what's been going on inside
And I wish you wouldn't get scared and run away

Chorus:
I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someoneTo hold em and to love em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

I was there was a cure for cancer
I wish somebody had an answer
And all God's children, never got hurt
I wish Eve never bit that apple
You men never went to battle
And I didn't get so mad at the world
I wish I was more like Jesus
And could pick up all the pieces
And make a better life for my baby girl
I wish wishes came true

For everything I am wishing
I know someone up there is listening
So, I say my prayers when I go to bed
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Oh pray my wishes come trueOh

The time has FINALLY come!!! :)

I have some very, VERY, exciting news to share!!!

Jace has popped the big question and Sasha said YES! Now, for those of you who don't know their story let me ya the mini low down. Jace and Sash have been dating every since high school (2002). Why its taken him this long, one may never know. However, the important thing is is that it's done! Woo hoo! I am VERY close with my brother and am so happy for him! Sasha has been a part of our family for a long, long time...now its offical! Here are some pics:





So there ya have it! Her ring is goregous! For those of you who don't know, all the women in my family have heart-shaped diamonds! Its a cute tradition that i LOVE and now the tradition lives on!

As for other news, Jace is moving out on Saturday! Needless to say, my mom is a little sad. I thought when your kids are all grown up and moved out...the fun begins? I call it the Empty Nest Syndrome. You're happy, but sad all at the same time.

Mom- Don't worry, I'm sure Jace will still come back for some free dinners and hang out time, Lord knows I still do :)

As for me, I am STILL subbing. I say "Still" as if I've been subbing for years when, in reality, I've only subbed for a semester. Psh. This economy offically sucks. Oh well, what can ya do? All my apps are out and all I can do is wait!

Today marked the day where I am offically "stalking" subfinder for any jobs that may come up. It sounds pathetic..but I kind of enjoy the thrill of "Will I get called this morning at 5:00AM?" or "Please be an elementary job instead of it saying (in its automatied voice "Columbus (HS Continuation School) has a job available." Ahh. On the other hand, my ringtone for subfinder is "Shiftwork" by Kenny and George, and I LOTHE that sound in the early morning! We'll see what happens this year!

Btw, I've had some interesting questions asked of me these past couple of weeks.

Question 1: So hows married life? Do ya still love the guy?
What the heck kinda question is that? Of COURSE I stilll love "the guy." What, do people want me to say "I hate married life and the husband, eh hes OK. Nope. Not me! With all the divorce out there, I like to believe that love is a VERB. I make a choice every morning to be thankful for my life and to love my husband, family and friends. I don't know how people can say "I fell out of love." How exactly do ya do that? YOU made the decision to fall out of love.
Ok vent over.

Question 2: Are you pregnant yet??
While I understand being married for 2+ years the time for babies is quickly looming, but, people...the whole WORLD would know if i was preggo! Just be patient..I will let you know when it happens!!

I suppose I have nothing else to update on!

Enjoy your day!

Amazing Song!

So, I found this song while listening to Sirius a few days ago. I instantly fell in love with it.
I am so grateful I have someone that I can always turn to, who will be there 24-7.
Here are the lyrics. Enjoy!

You're Not Alone

I search for love
When the night came and it closed in
I was alone but you found me where I was hiding and now
I'll never ever be the same
It was the sweetest voice that called my name
saying

You're not alone for I am here let me wipe away your every fear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest night
and I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All of your life

You cry yourself to sleep
cause the hurt is real and the pain cuts deep
All hope seems lost
With heartache your closest friend and everyone else long gone
You've had to face the music on your own
but there is a sweeter song that calls you home
saying

You're not alone for I am here let me wipe away your every tear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest nights
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All your life

Faithful and true...
Forever For my love will carry you....

You're not alone for I am here let me wipe away every fear...
Oh yeah My love I've never left your side I have seen you through your darkest night
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All of your life

Summer Time!

July 1st. Gosh, it already seems like Summer is half over!

Things have been very busy in our house! We went on a cruise for our 1 year anniversary, which was a blast! It was so nice just to get away and relax! I sang at my friend Summer's wedding, which was beautiful!!! Last weekend we went to Havasu with some friends. It was super hot, around 111! Needless to say, I have
a nice tan :) This holiday weekend we are headed to Laughlin! Cha Ching (hopefully haha). It should be tons of fun! I have Kolbey's wedding coming up, which I am excited to stand for her, because, without me they would not be getting married! :) What can I say, I'm a matchmaker! We also have the demolition derby coming up!!!!!!!! In August we are flying to San Fran for the weekend to go camping with my parents in the Redwoods....this is my favorite vacay! I have been going to this park camping ever since I was little!WE ARE SO BUSY!!!!!!!!!! But a fun busy.

I still do not have a teaching job for the fall, however, THANK GOD for this Summer day camp job at my church that I am a teacher at. I have 3rd grade for 4 weeks. I got to set up my room and decorate how I wanted to. It was fun. The kids come on Monday! EEK! Back to the fall..I suppose I will keep subbing and wait for something to open up in Downey!!

Have a great 4th!!!!

Havasu:

Spring Break!!!!!!

Spring break has offically started!!

A week of freedom....which doesn't really mean much to me because I can have a free week anytime with subbing, but having that "Spring Break" title makes it more fun!

I subbed in the same 2/3 combo class these past two days and got to have their spring party with them. Its amazing how kids get soo excited for egg hunts and Easter music! =) They also would rather play heads up seven up then go outside for free play. Kids I tell ya...

Lets see..whats new? Joel and I are FINALLY going to become members at our church which we have been attending all of our lives. What took us so long you ask? I have no idea. The class, The Journey, starts this Thursday and lasts for 8 weeks! It should be a good time! Last night at the Good Friday Service, we read the crucifixion story in Luke and I didn't really recognize some of the details. It really showed me that I need to start reading my Bible more. I was kinda embarrassed. I will get on that this week!

Joel and I are going on a 4 day cruise for our Anniversary in June! I am very excited about it. I love cruise and what better what to spend our anni!? We are also very excited for our 7 day cruise in December with my whole family to celebrate my Grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary! Woo hoo!

I am very honored and excited to be in 3 weddings this summer. I'm singing in 2 and standing in 1! I love weddings and am excited to be a part of two people committing to each other!

Last but not least...I"M GOING TO BE AN AUNT...again! No no, my sister isn't popping out her 4th...my bro and sasha are not preggo...its VALERIE!!!!!!!! I am soo excited for Val and Todd! Their little bundle of joy will be here in November!! woo hoo!!!!!

So...whats new??

Well hello! I've kinda been slackin on my blogging lately! Nothing new has happened but I figured I should atleast update!!

I joined weight watchers again! I lost 1.4 this week! Next week I'm gonna rock it though! :) We are going on a little cruise in June, which is going to be SO FUN, so I need to drop some pounds! I love LA Fitness and I actually enjoy going!

Update on Joelb: He is working hard with his brother doing some side jobs! They are both so talented! I am lucky to have my own handyman around! We have been doing Friday Night Date Nights, which I love! We usually do dinner and a movie! I really enjoy these times we have together!

Goodbye January, Hello February!

Wow! January has flown by hasn't it? It seems like the other day was Christmas, and now its almost Valentines day! Crazy.

Well, nothing new is going on in the Bomgaars fam. I have been subbing this past month and it has been great! I actually worked a full week this past week! It was bittersweet because I need work, but I love to sleep in lol. I had High school on Monday, and 1st grade Tues-Friday! I really like first grade, more than I thought! My favorite memory from this week was when I passed out a word search to a first grade class and a little boy said "Wow! I haven't done one of these in YEARS!" I was cracking up. Hes only 6 people! :) I also subbed at Chelsey's school, which was fun!

As for an acutally teaching position in Downey, things are not looking good! :( All I can do is pray and trust that God will take care of me! I may have to branch out and try a private school. We will see.

Ohh, we saw Slumdog Millionaire last night, it was fabulous! I def. recommend it!

Thats about it! Sorry I have nothing exciting to update you on! Hope everyone is doing well!
