The Blues....
My heart races too often, I know its because I can't help but feel certain ways about certain situatious, wether it be good or bad, Its a feeling, and those make my heart rush. Lately I've wanted one thing so badly, a beautiful being. As I stand here, feeling like the only one "left out" of this "club" of lucky people with blessings starting in wombs, I stand here with a heart racing,wishing i were part of those lucky ladies too. It has been 2 years, and not that we've been trying that entire time, just that we've wanted our own little blessing for the majority of that time. It is hard for me to think about, I can't help but feel a bit jealous when someone announces they are expecting, and here I am hoping it were me too. I know our time will come, and I just have to be patient, but I cant help but feel sad. I can't help but feel my heart race a little faster than it usually does. I really hope I can be a mom some day, its no race, I know i'll be so blessed when it happens, i just wish it were sooner than later in life.

hola!!!!
Hola Amigos y Amigas!!!
It has been quite some time since i've logged on and actually took some time to write things out. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I don't really get the privelege of using the laptop, my husband has totally claimed it! haha. But really! So here i am sneaking it out of his lap while he sits on his bum on his phone watching football videos. LOL. Anywho, a lot has happened since the beginning of summer! We of course had some fun times in June, July came by and we decided to take some beach trips, go fishing off of HB pier where we met a really cool homeless man who kind of shared his life story with us. I can't help but feel like I have to give people a moment of my time to hear some part of their life story when I encounter people like that, it really makes me feel like I am giving the world a chance, even if it is by listening to a story told by a drunken man. That night was quite interesting but i had a really good time with my husband! He's really been pushing this fishing thing on me because in Australia, its a way of life! I mean their beaches are perfect and ideal for fish,it is fresh since in a warmer climate so since we live in the land of oil rigs and smog town, fishing for semi mercury tainted fish is just not an ideal way to spend the day! haha but I tried. We explored San Pedro, we went to the fish markets down there where we had a really good lunch, we had fresh crabs and shrimps then ended the afternoon with a short hike on the beach and rainbow sherbert from thrifty's! I loved it! This month we've met up with friends and had nice dinners made for us, I'm starting to feel social again, so much we planned a weekend trip to a SAN FRANCISCO 49ers game in december with our really good friends Jerome and Amanda. We are beyond thrilled to see the niners play at candlestick. I don't think my husband could ever have a reason for being mad at me for the rest of this year! lol. but then again i do feel like this trip will be so much fun for me aswell! We LOVED san francisco so i'm excited to go back!!! Anywho, I just wanted to put it in writing,for memories sake! Pictures will be up later so until then, use your creative memory!
Buenas Noches!!

It's been a while...
Seriously,
It has been so long since I've sat down to actually write out what has been going on in my life. I guess I consider instagram and facebook to blame because I'm constantly updating on those two sites. Well since April, I've managed to loose 15 pounds, so the weightloss went well. We got skinny for Greya's wedding (Greg&Bea) in June but then we got lazy but i've been able to maintain that weight loss.
Life other than that has been pretty steady! We're trying to do some fun stuff this summer, we started it off at the happiest place in Los Angeles, the LDS temple. We went for endowments and were able to sit and enjoy the temple together since our wedding. It was honestly so beautiful and it felt so great to be able to sit with my husband in a Holy place. I love my church and the feelings we get when we are doing the right thing! Anywho, honestly other than the Gym and work we've just been living and saving money for the possible move to Australia. Because of my husbands terrible new boss he's been getting short shifted and losing hours at work so we've been praying about what we should do then things like these happen so maybe its an answer to prayers. I'm not 100% sure yet, nor will we know until next year! Until then, enjoy some photos of the last few months! :

San Francisco love...
I cannot believe that my handsome and I have already surpassed the first year of marriage! While I must say that at times we found it hard, I can only be thankful for those times because we have honestly grown so much this year! It literally started off with a BANG! when we lost my car, but we were able to thankfully have supportive parents who helped us get a new car on their credit and of course, us as co-signers! We decided to head up to our favorite city thus far, SAN FRANCISCO! We stayed at the Westin in Downtown. We only went for basically one day, we left saturday at around 5 am and arrived in the middle of a St.Patty's day Parade! We were greeted with a party and ironically, the street we stayed on was Stevenson St. Talk about being well greeted! We had a blast exploring the city right away, we wasted no time walking around and going to places we had heard were great! Here are some of my favorite moments!
We absolutely fell in LOVE with the city, we're already planning another trip out there soon, maybe at the end of may before the June wedding (Greg&Bea)
Anywho,
Life is amazing, I am extremely happy with my marriage, the love that he has for me is unlike any other, I love that he is so sincere and when we disagree, we talk it out. We are definitely both thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives, although we are not perfect and may struggle here and there, we are constantly working out our "kinks."
with much love,
xoxo

a little bit of this...
Hello! It's been a few weeks since i've last posted on here so another update is due! There has been so much positive this year I'm just so happy things are going the way they are now! I feel like things are well and in balance and if you know me, that equals a very happy Mayra. I'm one of "those" people who need a million things to do at one time in order to feel like i have a life, if not i feel so bored and stuck. So last month i finally got a 24hr fitness pass and i've been going at least 3 times a week! (insert claps here) hahaha! but i've finally been able to shed another 3 pounds and finally get down 10lbs since january. Man is losing weight HARD! I think one thing for me is that I give in to unhealthy food often so i need to stay disciplined if I really want to reach my 140 goal by the end of summer!
Work has been good! I finished by training last month and now waiting to really get to put my skills to work! I love how nice some of my customers are, I really enjoy building relationships with people, It's great to really get to know people and who they are specially when you're only having 3 minute interactions with them. I'm really thankful that people can feel comfortable with me helping them succeed financially.
On a last note, I'm an aunty once again! My cousin(s) had their babies this weekend, one of who'm i have yet to meet (the baby i mean). Daniel Xavier Gonzales was born on April fools, no i am not kidding. I was able to take some adorable pictures of him today, he is so adorable and so tiny! I bought a cannon rebelXS from my cousin last month so i was finally able to take some legitimate pictures. here's a sneak peak of what will hopefully one day be more "mayra stevenson photography" photos!-And might I add that if I did ever go into the photography business which has always been a DREAM, I would definitely specialize in newborns and babies, talk about baby fever!

Isn't he the cutest? It was so much fun to take pictures of his adorable little face! Last night-because i'm totally catching up on this post that I started last wednesday, my cousin Jimmy and his gf Eileen had their baby shower! That's the 3rd baby shower on my moms side and the 5th one in my family in general THIS YEAR, yes, 2013! Talk about baby boom and married "whens your baby coming?" pressure! Haha! But it was a fun night, full of family laughter, babies dancing and one VERY adorable niece called Alyssa, she had me CRACKING UP on the dance floor with her ganaam(sp?) style moves and silly faces, reminded my of my bestie Alyssa! well here are a few pictures of last night!
