Hello my fabulous friends! It has been a week since I've arrived in this new place I'm calling, "Home!" I'm still a little stunned that I'm here and getting use to my new surroundings. Well, not quite new, but more of getting use to that I'm back! I'm still jobless, but I have to remind myself of all the little things that are definitely putting a smile on my face! I've been soaking up every bit of the cold weather. Most of all, I'm hanging with my girl, Crystal doing everything from watching American Idol to just hanging out on the couch. I'll be back soon to post pictures of all that I'm doing :) One more thing, I'm back in......

Not much to report around here lately. I've been submitting job apps left and right! I'm hopeful I will get a call back :) Until then, the job hunt is still ongoing! As for fantastic news over the week, I am proud to announce that everything for my schooling went through and I can restart my education journey!! I'm excited to also mention that, I'm once again on a new adventure.  On this adventure, I'm looking forward to achieving my goals and finally calling a place home. So stay tuned while I explore new things, new hardships, new places, new happiness, and new people, one day at a time :)

2012 in photos

This year has been quite the adventure. Many challenges, full of blessings, and tears of many kind. Can't wait to see all the beauty God has for my life in 2013. Here are some of my favorite photos from 2012.

warning:: recap overload

Hello strangers!  Sorry for my lack of blogging.  I've been so uninspired to blog about anything.  My life has been on my mind lately and for that my motivation to blog has been put on pause.  However,  I've been taking snapshots to capture special moments.  So without further ado, here's what's been happening over the last month or so.  I'll let the pictures do the talking....

Even though my life has been sort of blah, I've capture little moments here and there that I'm thankful for.

Chopped my hair + watching my niece's volleyball games + my nephew's creative story + shopping with the niece + soaking up the view on walks

Thanksgiving feast + spending Thanksgiving with my family (priceless) + Momma's birthday celebration + froyo delights + monk seal lounging

Signs of Christmas approaching

Mamasan's delicious cooking + beautiful view of Hilo + visiting my dad on Christmas Eve

It's no Christmas without eggnog + my new favorite holiday treat + wrapping of presents + Christmas in my cup + Christmas Eve dinner

Happy Holiday friends :)

halloween recap

Even though Halloween was a week ago, here's how we celebrated...

--decorated "Jack" which the kiddos appropriately named :)

--found a witch and a Thor

--Halloween Oreos, ultimate must have!

--decorated our Halloween cookies :)

--a few shots of the kiddos after Trick or Treating

Ended the evening having dinner at Pizza Hut, of course! I definitely had a spooktacular evening with a diet Coke, Hello Kitty, Batman, a Witch, Thor, and dear friends!! Hope your Halloween was filled with treats and love :)

a brand new start.

So here I am once again, starting a brand new blog. This blog will solely document my new life as I start a new adventure on my own. After saying goodbye to my old life and old blog, I wanted to show not only my family and friends, but also everyone else, that you can move on and be happy. There will be a lot of obstacles ahead, but I'm ready for what the future holds. So here is to a brand new start for Simply Liberating Tricia.
