Denise's Day

If you feel the need to get your charity on this weekend then our community will not disappoint you.  The annual Denise's Day is being held at our local rodeo grounds.  Denise's Day is a fundraiser in honor of Denise Madrid, who sadly passed away from cancer.  All the proceeds go towards local families who are battling cancer.  It's a wonderful event and fun for the entire family!

Weekend fun

I'm a little bummed because my new job has me working on Saturdays which makes me unable to attend all the fun events Havasu has to offer. One side of my blog was going to be posting pics of the events. I am hoping my schedule will change soon. In the meantime I will ask friends and family to allow me to share their pics of events they attend. To be continued.......

Hug your loved ones...

One of the reasons I decided to blog about learning to love life is because I appreciate how fleeting life can be.  I have more family members who have passed than I have living.  It saddens my heart to say that loss has once again struck my family.  Tomorrow I will be attending the funeral of my cousins beautiful seven month old baby boy.  Life is so unfair sometimes.


We have an obligation to ourselves and those around us to live as big as possible.  We must love ourselves, others and our surroundings as much as possible because we have no idea how soon it will all be taken away.  Hug your loved ones every chance you get!!

Calling all American Idol fans...

Any American Idol fans out there? If so than this post will make you so very happy. American Idol season 6 winner Jordin Sparks will be on the Main stage at Kokomo's Havasu on Saturday, March 14th!!!! Hope to see you there!

Singing in the rain.....

I am so happy I did not have to work a 12 hour shift yesterday and today because I would have missed the rain! It is very rare that we get a slow steady rain here in Havasu. Usually the rain comes down at a break-neck speed with the force of a hurricane sucked up by a tornado.  Within minutes the entire town is a maze of rushing rapids that quickly re-landscape entire neighborhoods.  This rain was a slow, lazy, hot cocoa kind of rain that made me so happy.  Although I love the sunshine it is nice to have a little break from it now and then.
