This weekend was very exciting for me because my mom Julia and my cousin Luis drove all the way from The Bronx to come see us. They drove all Friday night and arrived Saturday early morning.
After some sleep, we had a wonderful lunch of platanos con huevos (plantains and eggs) and headed to the beach. It was a little cooler than expected, but we had fun walking the boardwalk and eating ice cream.
Saturday evening, we headed over to Bill and Jeanette’s for a wonderful dinner and relaxed watching The Empire Strikes Back which is always very entertaining.
Sunday, we headed to Jim and Marlene’s for a BBQ. It was a beautiful day to sit on the deck and eat and then eat some more!
Sunday evening Brian, Luis and I went to the movies to see Crash which was a little weird.
Memorial Day Monday, Julia and Luis headed back up north and Brian and I relaxed.
Thanks mom and Luis for driving those long hours to spend time with us! We love you!

I’ve finished my first year as a full-time student and it feels great! It’s a lot of hard work, but I’ve managed to get good grades and I have to say it’s pretty cool. My grades do not reflect just my hard work, but my husbands as well. Brian works really hard every day to help me achieve my goals and I am very proud of him. Even when he’s tired he listens, helps me, quizzes me on my work and prays with me when the road gets tough and I don’t think I can do it. With him by my side, I know I can do anything! Thanks babe!
Now all I have to do for him is hurry up and finish so I can get a job. No pressure!
My Mom just left our house with flowers in hand after enjoying a feast of fajitas. We also enjoyed a great strawberry swirl cake that Monica whipped up, and just had a swell time.
This is the first time I’ve spent Mother’s Day with my Mom since I went off to college in 1991. Every other year since then, it’s been a phone call and flowers delivered by some UPS guy. Well, Mom, let me just say that it was a delight spending this special day with you, and I hope you realize how much I appreciate and love you.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!
Been a little while since I posted so here’s what’s up.
I’ve been sick the past week or so with some sort of cold/sinus infection thing, and now Monica has it as well. It really knocked me on my butt for a few days, and it came out of no where. Now Monica has to deal with it and finals as well. Sorry, baby.
We did manage to get in some yard work, but we still have a long way to go. Shoveling dirt is no fun, especially when you’re sick.
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve updated the look of the site, as well as cleaned up some of the code. It’s something I’ve been working on here and there for awhile now, and I finally decided it was time for a change. I think the previous design was pretty consistent for a couple of years. There are still some pages that haven’t been updated yet, but let us know what you think.
