I'm baaaack!
I just returned from visiting my very pregnant sister in Dallas. We had a lot of fun, but still no baby. Everything is ready for her, they are just waiting for the little princess to make her final debut. She is already 7.7!! Whoa Whoppa, look out! I can't wait to have a niece! In other news, it is Summer time! I am thrilled! I love the sunshine, the family time, the swimming pools, the sno-cones, and so much more. I am anxious to get a semi-set schedule in place. I plan to work on my Spanish and get ready to begin a Master's degree. It is almost my 1 year anniversary to my precious husband Jaime. My how time flies! Lots of upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, and parties! The summer will be over all too soon. Prayerfully it will be a profitable summer, with each day being seized unto the Glory of God! Be blessed this week as you seek Him.

Overdue Omelets
Hello my dear friends. Much has happened in the last several weeks, and frankly my head is still spinning. I will do a quick recap of all I can currently remember.
- my m.i.l. made it from Venezuela and is currently still here
- attended two graduations for a niece and a nephew
- got to meet (for the first time) the b.i.l., s.i.l., and niece from Vzla. (they were here for a week)
- another part of the fam visited for 3 days
- drove to Louisiana and back in only 3 days (LSU graduation for the nephew)
- sent my precious preschoolers off to have a wonderful summer
- packed up my room for good at the one and only JOY School, where I have spent the last 3.5 years of my life (bittersweet)
- spoken more spanish than I ever dreamed possible
- run more errands for other people than could be healthy (jk--I enjoyed serving my fam!)
- anything else major I will have to post later, as well as some great recap pics.

one million + one
I am still alive!! The shower was a hit! My sister was so grateful and she really enjoyed herself, which is all I wanted. Praise the Lord! We are still working on the house and little by little it is coming together. Saturday afternoon we had the choice of painting our bedroom or demolishing our back yard. We opted for the sunshine and the demolition work. Whoa!! It turned out to be a massive job, and we are still pulling up vines. We cut down 3 eliagnises, trimmed 2 rose bushes, and destroyed a 10 year overgrown honeysuckle vine. This vine had taken over and was even growing into our neighbors tree top! My "brown" thumb and hand are very sore and I caught some hamstring-itis. I am so thankful my husband and I get to work on our house together. It makes laborious jobs so much easier!

A New Home
No, we did not buy a new house, but we are currently making our house a home. My husband had lived in this house for 3 years and he had not even fixed the holes left from the previous owners. He was as happy as a clam. Needless to say, when I came along the demolition began! I started by ripping off this incredibly hideous forest green wallpaper that had gold lightning strikes in it. Then I proceeded to rip up gross carpet in the master bath. ----Long break for the wedding and adjusting to married life.---Since then we have painted the office, the kitchen and the master bath. Then I accidentally melted the top panel on the fireplace, so of course we had to replace it. The much anticipated replacement happened yesterday. (approx. 4-5 mos. later)
