Day 4 | Story Behind My Blog's Name

Today is day four on #blogeverydayinFEB and the topic is “Story behind My Blog’s Name”

When I decided I wanted to write I had an idea of what would be my topics but getting a name was the hard part.  I didn’t want a common name, and I wanted something that would identify me.  So as you all my know I use to live in Puerto Rico and one of the traditional dishes is Mofongo which is made out of green plantain and you can stuff them with chicken, meat or seafood.  This is one of my favorite dishes and thank God I learned how to do it lol.  Anyway as I was saying, Mofongo is a traditional dish in Puerto Rico and since I was moving to the States with my husband, I was thinking about the fact that I wasn’t going to be able to go to my favorite restaurant and eat my mofongo in a long time.  And right there it popped up A Life Without Mofongo.  

Day 3| What Scares You

Today’s #blogeverydayinFEB challenge is “Something that Scares You” and just the thought of writing makes me already scared lol. 

As a Christian I know I should not be afraid, and I should trust God.  I can say I’m barely not afraid of too many things for example I’m not afraid of animals (some disgust me but not to scare me) but there are four things that truly terrifies me so here it goes:

I’m scared of the dark (When I’m with my husband or accompanied I tend not to get scared, but when he’s in the field, I have to sleep with the tv on.  Darkness terrifies me ever since I was a little child)

I’m scared of living without my parents – Eventually I know they will have to leave this world someday just like me but having them so many miles apart and not being able to see them everyday terrifies me.

I’m scared of being empty – Struggling with infertility is something I do not desire not even to my worst enemy. 

I’m scared of anesthesia – I have been put twice to sleep (anesthesia) for two minor surgeries and the thought of not waking up would make me cry.  Nurses would have fun with me lol.

What are your fears???

Day 1 | My Story

When Baily posted this challenge on her blog I was so excited.  But then I was I couldn't find much pictures of me as a kid since everything is in Puerto Rico.  So I scooped into my Facebook and I got these.  So here goes nothing.  

My baptism in 1984

Well I was born in the 80's in Brooklyn, New York.  I'm the youngest in the house out of three of us.  I lived my baby years in New York and when I turned 9 (if I'm not mistaking) my parents decided to move to Puerto Rico. 

Mom and me in our apartment in New York

In Puerto Rico, I was one of the happiest girls, I made so many friends in Kindergarten and through my Junior and High years we all went to the same school.  I can say I have great memories from my schoolmates and thank God for them because through distance we are still friends.  

I was 14 years old in this picture

My teenage years wasn't bad at all.  The only pain I had was the thought of my father not loving me.  Long story short he was never affecionate with me.  It was so hard to hug my father and hearing an I love you daughter from him was so hard.  I have to admit I'm so happy that over the years the relationship between my dad and I has changed totally.  I love him dearly and I know he loves me.  

 I have to admit thank God for evolution

After 6 years of dating on 2007 I got married to my ex husband, although God had given so many signs that he wasn't the man for I still made decision to marry him and after 4 months we separated.  It was a very rough, heart breaking time for me.  I was judged in so many negative ways, but I left everything in Gods hands.  I have to thank my best friend (to me she's like a sister) because thanks to her the pain wasn't that bad to handle.

 I thought I was a model lol

During the 4 years divorced I had met guys and when I would tell them that I was looking for a serious relationship they would disappear.  So I decided to stop looking for love and started focusing on my career and my family (mom & dad).  Well to my surprise God had different plans with me.  I met my now husband.  I mean when I said I'm not a booty call, and if your not looking for a serious relationship you are waisting your time, this man looked into my eyes and I knew right there he was the man I was waiting for. I prayed so much because for starters he was in the military, and he had so many tattoos.  Now I don't judge tattoos cause I have two.  But I didn't know if my parents would approve and if he had the same christian believes as I did.  Well here we are happily married.

Well this is it for Day 1 looking forward for tomorrow.  Have a great Saturday night!!!
