this is especially for a wonderful soul named melissa. with hopes of soon return of her true mate!

this is especially for a wonderful soul named melissa. with hopes of soon return of her true mate! love you.

Why, dear God, do people suffer?

Why’s there war and crime and sorrow?

My father says you have the power,

To stop it all tomorrow.

“Because, dear one, I love you.”

But what of all the suffering?

It cannot please your eyes.

Surely you would have us all

With you in paradise.

"I do, dear one, but not by force,

But by your free-will love."

There're things that I so dearly need,

I wish I had them all.

If you would help me get them, God,

I'd be more at your call.

"I do not bargain, dearest one,

So choose which you desire more:

The passing pleasures of this world,

Or me, who thy soul does adore."

I guess if life were easy

And all was trouble-free,

We'd get too lazy, have no push

To reach to be like Thee.

But why allow our loved ones, God,

To suffer tragedy,

When we depend on them so much

And love them tenderly?

"Because,dear one, I love you,

And you'll have ALL one day,

When you have given all your love

To me in every way.

"When you can keep your harmony

And trust I'll fill your needs,

When you have stopped your selfishness,

Your soul-degrading deeds."

Some others are much worse than me,

Like criminals and evil ones

It seems like things are so unfair,

Why let it carry on?

"Because dear one, I love you,

And justice will prevail,

And in between it tests your faith

And trust, that must not fail."

But why give so much freedom, God,

To those who spread such evil,

Through wars and greed and hatred,

And actions of the devil?

"Because, dear one , I love you,

And all must have their chance

To choose, and learn from ill effects,

Of what they did enhance."

I wish I could remember this

Amid each daily task,

Why not make us listen, God,

That we'd do as you ask?

"Because, dear one, I love you,

And gave my gift: free will.

I would not take it back now,

Your plan you must fulfill.

"Besides, you would resent it,

If I would take away,

The challenge that you know you'll pass,

If you will walk my way."

This does not seem so easy, God,

It looks like we must take,

Responsibility for all

The choices that we make.

I guess if we desire Thee,

The price we'll have to pay,

Give up what we do not need,

And work and serve and pray.

"You're getting the idea now!

Have fun in what you do.

I made this life so full of joy,

Because, dear one, I love you!"

Thank you Ashley for the very sweet PM. I am touched. A little too touched for my own good, being at work and all. Man, what a day it's been. Thanks for posting the poem-it's a nice poem and very true. You are a sweetheart!

Melissa: He will be home soon. Just trust in the Lord to bring him home. And you know as well as I do, Javier does things I don't like. For heavens sakes, he ain't perfect. Almost, but not quite. Sorry to go on and on about my man. I should take in to consideration there are still one's out there who are still separated. I apologize to you and Marta, and anyone else who might be reading and still separated. It's just not very often I get to brag on my man so I got a little carried away. Just remember you will be with Javier soon. It will be the best!

[Traviesa 0]

There's nothing wrong with bragging. I can brag on Javier too. We may be separated but I remember him quite well.

He's got the smallest, cutest butt I have ever seen on a person and I think it's adorable how he's so self-conscious about it. I love the way he takes such pride in his appearance. He makes me look bad in comparison!! But I am always proud to go out with him. He has the dreamiest smile and the perfectest teeth. He always smells fantastic. The laundry is always good and I fall asleep the fastest in his arms.

But I also love the way he's not too manly to perform crazy duets of "Un Elefante se Balanceaba..." on the phone with me, to say "my love for you is pink" (he only said that once though and it was the cutest weirdest thing he had ever said but somehow so sweet...of course he would NEVER say it again), and to giggle. Yes, giggle.

[Bootylicious!! 2]

See he is really great too!!! That pink thing is so cute. I can't imagine him giggling. That would be cute too. We are so lucky to have found the men we have. Even through all this immigration mess. I wouldn't do anything any different. I am sure you all wouldn't either.

Ashley: Good luck with your physical therapy. Have a great weekend!

There is no reason to apologize for being happy so you don't owe us any apology.It gives me hope that one day I too will be happy again.It gves me hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.Although I miss Edgar so very much and I love him with all that I am I know that one day we will be together.

And never again will I let us be apart .

Besides I get a kick out of you guys.

But theres one thing that does bother me....The fact that you'll say that your husbands have the best butt. when I am positive that my hubby has the best one.

NICE,FIRM,ROUND, SMOOTH.And his lips..I love the way he bites his lower lip when he is thinking about something.

Man I am going to bed ,,maybe I will dream about doing the laundry

I know you guys didn't say that your men where good looking..... Now look here homeskillets, MY husband Raul is the most handsome, good looking man that Ever and I really mean ever existed, Plus he has big and I mean big hands... size 14 1/2 ring finger

Okay I can't keep that up any longer.... I am literally feeling sick. He is just as awesome as your men and like Benita said we love them with all of their goods.

Hey you know I was telling my husband about the fact that the men seem to be younger than us and you know what he said..... He said... eso les cuesta por tener hombres tan guapos como nosotros.... meaning "papeles" of course he was just kidding and he proceeded to tell me that we should in fact rename our thread to "las robacunas de Ciudad Juarez" I just thought it was funny and had to share this with my cyber sisters We just got home from the movies and are going to bed. Have a good night and happy Sunday.

[Bootylicious!! 2]

Elvia: That is so funny! Does he really wear a size 14 1/2 ring? Javier wears a 10 and I thought his hands were big. I couldn't imagine a 14 1/2. Anyway, we all know what it means when they have big hands!

So it is still snowing here. It started Friday night and has not stopped. We are still supposed to get around 8-12 inches. We have about 5 now. It was really putting it down a while ago. They cancelled church so I guess we will stay in for a while. We may venture out later. We need to get some groceries for the next week. Have a great Sunday!

So are you guys all snowed in?????????? That would be kinda fun except I hate digging my car out. Miguel starts work tomorrow! Very happy about this.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Melissa are you all packed? Good luck moving and don't hurt your back lifting anything too heavy.

O.k. G.A. starts in a few so I gotta go!

see ya'll!

[chagalafamilia 0]

Butts, did someone mention butts. I am sure that Alex has the cutest. What a way to start a Monday....now I wish I was back in bed.

Here is Louisville we only got a little dusting of snow and it is supposed to be up to 58 by Wednesday.

[Traviesa 0]

Good morning everyone. It has been an interesting weekend, that's for sure. I ended up in a hotel last night because the power went out Sunday at 3 am and from what I understand is STILL not back on. So it was about 58 degrees in my room plus dark so I wasn't going to be able to deal with that. So as it was, Steph, I didn't get really anything done on Sunday. Which has put me back considerably. Plus...and this is the best part...I forgot to pack a bra to take to the hotel and I wasn't wearing one on Sunday (a t-shirt, plus sweatshirt). So today here I am at work in a sweater with no bra. I would consider the highlight of this whole experience to be the continental breakfast from this morning. I had a Belgian waffle!

[Bootylicious!! 2]

Melissa: OH NO!!!! You are bra-less at work. I hope you don't get cold today!

Stephanie: We didn't get snowed in but it is still snowing here. We have about 10 inches now. It is supposed to continue snowing today. They say we should get about 2-3 more inches of it today. So that would make our total around a foot. Not to bad I guess considering they had two feet in NY. Glad Miguel starts work tomorrow. Javier got paid on Friday so we aren't broke anymore. Just poor. At least I can pay my own bills now.

Have a great Monday everyone. Don't work to hard. How long till we get to the weekend?

Oh yeah, what's everyone doing for Valentine's Day? I need to call and make reservations for us today at the restaurant down the road. It is new. We have never eaten there. I hope I haven't waited to long to get a reservation.

[Traviesa 0]

Charity, the cold isn't the problem! These things are too big to be uncontained! Not to mention I feel so very self-conscious. Someone just told me that the power will probably be back on for everyone....by TOMORROW night!! Let me just say, if I have to stay in another hotel in order to make it to work you better believe I want to be reimbursed for that.

As for V-Day, my plans are to go after work and sign my lease for my new apartment. Yup, that's about as exciting as it gets around here.

[Bootylicious!! 2]

Melissa: Well I knew you were a little better off than me in that department but I wasn't sure just how well off. I wouldn't want mine uncontained and they aren't that great. I would be so self conscious. I think I would die. It would be right up there with forgetting to put on deodorant. I would head out to Walmart at lunch and buy me a bra. I just couldn't do it. I don't see how these women go without bras all the time. Just leave them hanging out there for everyone to see. It just blows my mind.

Well I don't know if we will get reservations or not. If we don't we will be eating at home. I guess I could try to make some romantic dinner but that never works for me. I always end up ruining something. Signing the lease on your apartment is a big step though. It's a place for you and Javier to live once he gets home. Then you can have all the Valentine's Day's you want. Even if it isn't Valentine's Day. Just celebrate when you want to.

[Traviesa 0]

V-Day is a very special day! It's one year since we've been engaged. We'll be celebrating in a couple weeks. We're going to do a lot of celebrating that week-his birthday, V-Day, what other celebration can we cram in??
