Welcome!

I would like to inform everyone of the newest member of the Vuong clan...Little Miss Baiya (puppy..not an actual baby baby) was born October 06, 2010. She currently weighs 3.02lbs and came home to Reaney Ave on December 06, 2010. She is the sweetest most darling little puppy I have ever met.. I am so proud to call her my puppy and to be her mommy!

Stop The Bleeding.....

As of late, it has been crystal clear that there is hurt in the world. Everything from hate crimes, broken hearts, the constant rejection of other people…the world has seen it all!

We go thru life trying to do what makes us happy gathering experiences, friends, and material things, but some how never really are happy.

We put ourselves out there hoping for a miracle but some how are left empty, broken and valuing our self worth….every one says that we are to be happy and live life but what do u do when u try that and all u get is torn down by people that are suppose to care?!?

Idk but I want to make sure that people know that they are NOT alone. Regardless what life brings us just remember that God loves us and if u need something u can measure, know that I LOVE U. I know that ur amazing and that ur wonderful. So never doubt who u are because the people that really know u love u!

Dear Sinuses,

You have the best timing on showing up because I have so much to do and here you are! I refuse to let the stuffiness, the sinus pain, and the sinus headache ruin my weekend. I sure hope that you don't mind Mr. Pseudophedrine coming to visit for a few days. I think you two will learn to love each other.
We could be one big happy family.

Love,

Joy

Week 1...DONE!

I survived my first week at the clinic and I have to say that I am exhausted! There is so much to do/learn about my job and everyday is unpredictable. I am just so grateful to have the opportunity to work and make some money...now it is time to relax and then back to work on Monday afternoon.

Let me get you up to speed (update)

Where do I begin??....

A lot has happened but some days it feels as though nothing happens. And just when you think nothing is going to happen/change it does....I went from being in a relationship to being single, living on my own to moving back in with my parents, being financially stable to not knowing where my next meal is coming from, and being happy/confident to being broken/beat up by someone I cared about.

I have gotten to the point where I felt that I deserved nothing good was ever gonna happen to me so there was not point in figuring out how to pick up the pieces and putting myself together. I admit that I was depressed and having an internal battle with my head and my heart...I am just glad that I can see a light at the end of the tunnel and that my REAL friends have been here for me. I owe then so much for telling me that everything was going to be okay but also understanding that I needed time to process what I was going through. Despite the tears, bruises and the thoughts of worthlessness, they were there. I owe then so much for ALWAYS being there for me. They accept me for who I am and help me to realize that who I am should be enough.

Currently, I am working on myself, taking time to do things I like, hangout with people that love me, and just put myself first because I DESERVE THAT! If I can give anyone advice, i would have to say to live life for you, do what you like/enjoy, and NEVER live your life on the back burner.

"Be strong in the Lord and, Never give up hope, You're going to do great things, I already know, God's got His hand on you so, Don't live life in fear, Forgive and forget, But don't forget why you're here,Take your time and pray, And thank God for each day..." -Sidewalk Prophets (The Words I Would Say)

When 100 doors close...1 door opens

I recently started a new job and so far it is going great! It is a part time position at a pet clinic and my title is receptionist/technician assistant. Want to know where?? Want to meet my co-workers??
