Belated...

Birthday Pics here! Sorry, there are just too many to post on the blog... you know, at one point the papparazzi invaded the place and MILLIONS of pictures of ME were taken. What can I do? Nada!

So, yeah, if you want to take a look at the pics click on this link. :)

I will post this one picture here, of my cake made by my friend Aninha, cuz, as you all know, I *am* a STAR! :)





I have been having so much to blog/write/share, but I have also been so tired lately... No, I ain't preggers. I just want to be busy because I like feeling useful but maybe I do need to slow down a bit. I am not sure yet.

As some of you know I am a member of Utah County's Rape Crisis Team. This week I had my first call to a hospital. I can't really talk about the details of the case, of course, but it was a little bit traumatic for me... I am so proud of the victim for being so strong during the whole interview and examination process and I really pray that she will get the help she needs. I also hope that the person who raped her will go to.... well, you know where!

I don't believe that a person is born evil. I really don't. I think we get to be the way we are because of a combination of examples, environment, experiences and in some cases some mental defects. But I was thinking, if parents taught their children, especially boys, to love and respect those around them, especially women, would we see less evil in the world? Of course I am referring to sexual evil. I don't know. I just can't understand, nor accept, the way some people treat each other, especially people they know. aaaahhhhhh nevermind. Much food for thought here. And I am hungry. And tired. Back to bed...

Hope you'll all enjoy the pics.
Today I have the whole day dedicated to rest and fun, can't remember the last time I was able to sleep in and have nothing planned in a weekend, feels GOOD!
