layed back sunday

it's 8:37 pm and i'm thinking about how my weekend has passed so fast and how i'm not ready to go back to work. Saturday mark and i had decided to drive to the other side of town into Henderson to check out the Hoolaulea. It was extremely hot but very nice to be surrounded by individuals whom come from the same place in which we call home- Hawaii... where the heart will always live. There were two stages with hula dancers and entertainers. The air was full of great smells coming from the boothes that sold local favorites. mark and i had char siu chicken, pork adobo, pork and peas guisantes and haupia mochi. The food was just ONO!! Although, the sun was blazing down on us we managed to enjoy the activities and spend about 3 hours just checking things out. By the time we arrived home we slept until 4pm. The sun in Las Vegas during the summer time really drains the energy from your body. But, overall it was a nice Saturday spent together.


Sunday- today was a very kick back kind of day. mark and i stayed home and watched a bunch of movies on Encore and just relaxed. I comtemplated for 2 hours this morning if i should go to church today or Wednesday. I knew mark wasn't feeling energetic and I was still pretty drained from Saturdays event that I decided i'll be attending Wednesday night service this week. I've been wanting to attend the wednesday night service anyway. Lately, i've just been feeling lost and really realizing how i really feel. It's nearing 2 years since we've moved to las vegas and slowly i'm growing used to this place. It's amazing how time really passes by. But, I enjoy living in las vegas. I do miss home greatly but for now, las vegas is home. Finally, finding a church "Canyon Ridge" really helps to fill a piece that was missing since we've moved here. I really enjoy this church. There's something about this place that really makes you feel like you belong and for me personally it helps me feel a bit stronger each time. Like there's hope for me and that i truely will be okay. i have so many stresses right now and just alot of healing to go through that only will happen within passing of time. it's hard when you feel just missing pieces and voids that you really can't figure out how to fill. Eventually, i'll be able to help myself or things will just fall into place.
