New Year

It is already December 31st , 2008. Tomorrow will be a start of the new year, a blank slate to make everything better than we did the previous year. 2008 was a difficult year, but it was a good year. Miguel finally received his legal permanent status in the United States. This allows him to work and live here legally. I would say that was the best 2008 had to offer us. He was also able to see his mother after 10 years of not seeing her. This was also due to his newly acquired legal status. My braces came off. I went Britney Spears... NO, I did not shave my hair, I just cut it REALLY short. I was one of the million people who were laid off in the United States in the month of Novemer, but thankfully I also found a job by the end of the year. I will start my first day on Friday. I have been a homeowner for exactly a year too. My mother had SOME surgeries and survived. Yeap... those were the highlights of my year. I think that overall it was not SOOOOOOO bad, but I am truely READY to START over again and continue to improve myself and my family. I hope 2009 brings hapiness, health, love and prosperity to all of you and me.



Ya es el 31 de Diciembre del 2008. Mañana va a comenzar el año nuevo y sera tiempo de comenzar de nuevo para hacer las cosas mejor que lo que las hizimos el año pasado. El 2008 fue un año dificil, pero bueno. Miguel finalmente recibio su residencia permanente para entrar, residir y trabajar en los Estados Unidos. Eso singularmente fue lo mejor! Tambien a consecuencia de eso pudo ver a su mama despues de 10 años. Termine con el tratamiento de mis frenos. Me volvi una Britney Spears... no.. no me razure el cabello... pero me lo corte SUPER corto. Fui parte de el millon de personas que fueron desocupados a consecuencia de una reduccion de personal, pero Gracias a Dios tambien encontre empleo antes de que el año se terminara. Tambien hemos sido ya propetarios de la casa por un año. Comensare mi trabajo el viernes. Sip.... esos fueron los puntos culminantes de nuestras vidas este año. Ojala que el proximo año traiga con el salud, amor, armonia, prosperidad y muchas muchas cosas positivas.

Grandpa's Birthday

My grandfather's birthday was on December 13th. We had a small family celebration for he turns 80!!! Yes... 80 wonderful years. And he is still waiting for many more years to come. We are truely blessed to have him with us.

Mi abuelo cumplio el 13 de Dic. Tubimos una celebracion en casa de mi madre por que cumplio sus OCHENTA primaveras. Si... ochenta primaveras maravillosas y aun espera muchas mas. Somos afortunados de tenerlo con nosotros.

My Mother

My mom just got out of surgery about an hour ago and everything is PERFECT!! My father and I were really scared. She has always been a very healthy person and has never been in the hospital, except for her two deliveries, mine and my sister's. As the time was getting closer my father and I started getting more and more anxious. It was unbereable. Somehow we both managed to calm down and proceeded to the waiting room. We had to wait about two whole hours, but EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!!! We have not seen her yet as she is recouperating. We have to wait another two hours to see her. This was a very scary time and it just confirms to me how very important she is to me. I knew she was important of course, but just the thought that something could go wrong drove me a little bonkers. I am glad everything is fine. She is the best Christmas present.

Mi madre apnas salio de su operacion hace como una hora y todo esta PERFECTO!!! Mi padre y yo estabamos muy asustados. Ella siempre ha sido una mujer ultra saludable y jamas habia tenido que ir al hospital salvo a sus dos partos, el de mi hermana y el mio. Mientras que el tiempo se acercaba para que mi mami la operaran, mi papa y yo nos poniamos mas y mas nerviosos. Fue insoportable. De algun modos los dos pudimos controlar nuestros nervios y esperar en la sala del hospital. Tubimos que esperar dos horas, pero al fin todo salio muy bien. Esto fue algo muy fuerte para mi papa y yo y solo confirmo cuanto la necesitamos en nuestras vidas. El solo pensar que algo podia suceder me volvio un poco loca dentro de mi, pero al fin todo esta bien. Estoy feliz por la salud de mi mama. Ella es el mejor regalo de Navidad.

El Esperitu de la Navidad

Ayer Miguel y yo fuimos envadidos con el espiritu de la Navidad. Miguel pinto la sala y el comedor por que el año pasado el arbol no lucio para nada. Miguel hasta me ayudo a ensamblar el arbol (usamos arboles artificiales para conservar el planeta), algo que jamas habia hecho. Estabamos taaaaannn envadidos (bueno yo mas) que puse musica de Navidad. Siempre me reia de mi mami por hacer eso y mirenme.... poco a poco me convierto en mi madre. Bueno, total que me encanto como se mira nuestra sala, el color que escogimos es fenomenal y la sala luce mucho mejor que el año pasado.


Yesterday Miguel and I got in the Christmas spirit and started decorating for Christmas. Miguel painted the living room and the dining room because last year I just hated the way our Christmas tree looked with the wall color we had. Miguel helped me with the tree... something he had never done. I was soooo into it that I even put holiday music on, now I must admit that I always made fun of my mother because she always does that same thing. I know.... I am slowly turning into my mother. Anyway, I really like the color we chose and I think our living room rocks!

Zach's Birthday Party

Zachy cumplio el 18 de Noviembre y este fin de semana le hicieron su fiesta de cumple. Fue muy divertida y el encontro un nuevo amiguito de su edad. Se veian tan bien, no se despegaban por nada. Se ve que se divirtio mucho!

It was Zach's party this weekend and it seems as if he had a lot of fun! His party was fun and best of all he found a new little friend. They looked as if they had a lot of fun together.

Ms. Daisey Vargas

I know... her birthday was a long time ago, actually it was at the beginning of the month. This month someone stole my camera and I thought they had stolen some pictures with it, but they didn't. Anyway, I had not spent time with my friend's family in a very long time. Daisey's birthday was celebrated at her family's home and I absolutely loved it.

Ya se... su cumple fue al principio del mes, pero pense que perdi estas fotos y ayer las encontre. Me pase un muy buen tiempo con mi amiga Daisey y su familia. Son lo mejor!

Coworkers

Coworker are the people that you spend most of your day with. I am glad to say that my coworkers rock! These women have become more than coworkers, they have become more like family. I admire them very much. We have been with each other soooo long that we have learned and come to terms with each others quirks. I can truely say that when the day comes for us to part ways I will miss them very much. I love you guys! MB and ML you are awesome. I am very lucky for having the pleasure of working with you.

Obama-President Elect

Yes We Could!

Si se pudo!

Travis County Democratic Victory Party

Today I went to the Texas Democratic Party at the Driskill Hotel. I must confess, I have never been to any of these types of parties, but I absolutely loved it! The crowd cheered, and cheered, and cheered, and cheered. It almost seemed like a soccer game (or a football game, I prefer soccer). It was awesome! Daniela, my cousin, was nice enough to go with me, because most of you know how excited I can get with politics. I thank her.... if it weren't because you went with me I would not have had the guts to go (most of you who know me also know that I am incredibly shy [in the beginning] and that I dont like new things). This was very important to me.

VOTE

Today is November 4th, Election Day. If you have not yet voted, please GO vote. It is extremely important, and even though you say your vote does not count, the fact is that it does.
Remember voting is not only a right, but it is also a moral obligation. It does not matter if you are Republican, Democrat or Independent.... you NEED to go vote!
I feel like a little girl waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. These elections have been something else. I am so happy and cannot wait for the results. I assure you, I will be very happy with either result because our current administration will soon be GONE!!!!

Hoy es el 4 de Noviembre, el dia de elecciones aqui en E.U. Para los que pueden votar, por favor VALLAN a votar! Votar es extremamente importante, a si piensan que su voto no cuenta, pues estan equivocados. Votar no solo es un derecho si no una obligacion moral.No importa si eres Republicano, Democrata o Independiente...NECESITAS votar. Realmente me siento como una niña esperando que Santa Claus venga. Estas elecciones han sido muy diferentes y me enorgullese. Estoy ansiosa por los resultados, de todos modos les aseguro que estare feliz. La razon: Esta administracion (de Bush) se IRA!!!!

Holloween

As I passed by the Chronicle stand today, I saw a monster that looked like McCain. I ordered my meal (I was at a restaurant) and I could not help it. I HAD to go back and check it out. Indeed, indeed, it was McCain and as I flipped the front cover... I saw Palin. Again, I could not help it, so I had to post it!

Along with these masks come instructions. The following are SOME of the instructions:

---"An honorable, bipartisan approach is required-reach accros the aisle and borrow some scissors form Joe Libberman. Smile your rictus grin, make with the "my friends," and try to tire-swing on through!"

---"You need another mask to rile up the base: Deploy your mavericky vice presidential mask!

Don't feel that you have to look at it before you select it - that's not what a maverick would do!And don't think you have to cut along the lines - not very mavericky either. While we know you're itching to use every bit of the cascass, don't affix the Palin mask straight to your face with home-rendered moose-hoof glue (maverick!). After all, you'll need this again in 2012. (Veep Elizabeth Hasselback mas to follow. Maverick.) Garnish with 150,000 dollars' worth of products form elitist East Coast stores, and wink liberally - no, conservatively, no, err, maverickly.

--- "Your veep mask becoming a drag on the ticket? Immediately announce the suspension of mask construction to parachite into Washington and bring a resolution to the crisis - after a round of morning talk shows. Oh trollops - your opponent's still pulling ahead!..."

---"I sure hope you didn't borrow those scissors, redistributionist! Why are you trying to 'spread the scissors' around, taking them out of the hands of hardworking Americans like Joe the Shearsman? Also, spend until Nov. 4 explaining to anyone younger than 45 what a socialist is..."

I sure hope you enjoyed it.... that is The Chronicle for you. I know for sure that one coworker will like this most and one will not like this at all. M... I hope you at least think this is kind of funny... :)

Go Vote

Yes.... the time has come. Elections are almost over. With that said, I want to encourage everyone to go vote. I know, you are thinking: "Everyone? Even those voting for McCain?" YES. I believe that everyone has the MORAL OBLIGATION to vote. I also want to encourage everyone, if you have not done so already, to research the issues and vote according to your believes. Go vote, you only have TWO days! Remember: Our country's future depends on YOUR vote.

"Whether you vote or not, you actually are influencing the outcome. If you don't vote you are just saying that you trust everyone else to decide your future and your family's future for you. Democracy works better when everyone has a say, so please get out there andmake your voice heard." -President Bill Clinton

Luis Miguel

Today was the day that I went to go see Luis Miguel. For those of you who dont know who he is, he is like a Tony Bennet in Mexico. His nickname is the Sun of Mexico. About four or five years ago, Luis Miguel came to Austin and Miguel (my hubby) did not take me. He HATES Luis Miguel. Miguel promised that he would take me if he ever came back to Austin. It is obvious that Miguel never thought that Luis Miguel would come back. Well... he did, and my hubby faught it til' the very end. I actually thought that he would bail out on me, but he came through. Miguel worked the whole day and did not have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Wanting to make me happy, he came home and took a shower and left with me. It is important to say that he behaved well especially for not having eaten all day. As for the video, I apologize. I took the camera in as contraband and we were absolutely forbidden form taking any pictures. I splipped a picture and a couple of videos. The picture was good, the video was not. Needless to say... this is absolutely one of the happiest days of my life.... up there with various milestones that I have had in my life.

Hoy Miguel y yo fuimos a ver a Luis Miguel....ustedes que conocen a Miguel saben que el ODIA a Luis Miguel. Hace como 4 o 5 años Luis Miguel vino a Austin y mi adorado esposo, entonces adorado novio NO ME LLEVO!!!! Ese dia, el dia que Miguel decidio llevarme a ver a su banda tocar, en vez de llevarme a ver a Luis Miguel, el me prometio que la proxima vez que Luis Miguel viniera, el me iba a llevar. Es obvio que Miguel penso que Luis Miguel jamas iba a regresar. Pues... regreso. La verdad que pense que a la mera hora se me iba a rajar. Miguel tubo que trabajar en un contrato que conseguimos y no desayuno, no comio y no ceno. Por querer tener una esposa feliz, Miguel decidio venir a casa, bañarse y alistarse para llevarme a ver a Luis Miguel. Es importante decir que se porto bien, claro que le mento la madre un par de cienes de veces, pero se porto bien. En el Frank Erwin Center nos prohibieron llevar camaras, asi que escondi la mia y la meti... Disculpen que el video no estubo muy bueno pero la seguridad esta muy dificil. Nadamas te veian con camara y te pedian que te salieras. La foto, yo la tome y me salio mejor que el video.

2nd Anniversary

October 7, 2006. Two years ago Miguel and I married. It truely does not seem like 2 years have passed by, in fact, it feels like they FLEW by. Miguel has been so wonderful and I truely expect to live every day of my live with him. Being his wife is just awesome.

7 de Octubre del 2006. Hoy es nuestro segundo aniversario. La verdad es que es sorprendente como el tiempo vuela, ni lo hemos sentido. Miguel ha sido tan maravilloso (como siempre) y la verdad espero vivir el resto de mis dias con el.

Jaguares

Miguel and I went to see Jaguares today. There are one of my favorite bands and I wanted to see them despite the fact that I had already seen them about 3 or 4 times already. I wanted to go and slam, but Miguel said it was too rough. I felt so bad.... I wanted to slam, but I also did not want to get hurt, so I did not. It's ok, I still had fun and enjoyed listening to them.

Miguel y yo fuimos a ver a Jaguares hoy. Esa banda es una de mis bandas favoritas y queria ir a verlos aun que ya los habiamos visto como 3 o 4 veces. Yo me queria ir al slam, pero Miguel me dijo que los chavos estaba muy rudos, y me senti mal, yo queria meterme, pero tampoco me queria lastimar sin necesidad. Esta bien, como quiera disfrute escuchar a Jaguares.

ACL continued....

Last sunday Miguel and I also went to see Foo Fighters. We definitely enjoyed seeing them. ACL was definitely tiresome, Miguel ended up sitting on the ground.... and I won't lie, I did too.

El domingo pasado Miguel y yo fuimos a ver a los Foo Fighters, definitivamente nos gusto verlos. ACL nos canso mucho, tanto que Miguel termino sentandose en el piso (o mas bien en la tierra) y no mentire... yo tambien.

ACL

Este fin de semana Miguel y yo fuimos a un festival llamado Limites de la Ciudad de Austin, que dura 3 dias, son ocho esenarios y 130 bandas las que tocan. No la pasamos bien aun que no lo disfrutamos todo, la verdad y fue un poco cansado. Lo bueno es que nos pudimos alejar mentalmente de nuestra vida cotidiana. Esto fue el regalo de cumple años de Miguel, espero que lo haya disfrutado.

This weekend Miguel and I went to ACL and saw Manu Chao and the Foo Fighters. The tickets to ACL were Miguel's birthday gift because she just LOVES anything having to do with live music. I will post other pictures later.

Children...

Today I went to Marshalls and was very upset to see the following...
An adult kept on... basically harrasing a child by telling him that he was "stupid" and that she would "kick his a**." The poor child... his name is Diego was hardly misbehaving, he was just being a child. At that time he should have been at school, not at the store with... I think it was his sibling. I could not help myself anymore and I had to stop her. I told started by telling her that "Diego" is a beautiful name and that she should not be telling him that he was stupid, that she would only make him have a poor self-esteem. She proceeded to ask him if he had a low self-esteem and prompted him to obviusly say no. Poor child... I was devistated. I was saddened because she was probably treated that way; I was sad because that child will grow to be an adult who believes that he deserves nothing more than failure. It makes me sick to see an adult treating a child in that manner and would have done anything to make that woman understand that she is doing no good when she calls a child stupid. In fact, she is demonstrating that she is pretty ignorant herself. I told her that I had seen research and she just dismissed my comment. I hope that someone in Diego's life cares enough to tell him that his is wonderful and important.

Familia Delgado

Hilario Delgado


Ayer Miguel y yo fuimos a Piedras ayer. Yo pase por la casa (de la foto) y le dije a Miguel que ahi vivian los Delgado, osea mi familia, hacia muchisimos años. Miguel se quizo bajar y ver la casa. En eso salio una señora que sin darnos cuenta era la dueña. Le comente que mis antepasados vivieron ahi y me dijo que ella conocia a mi familia y que era la dueña de esa casa. Me conto que mi abuelo a quien no conoci habia nacido ahi. Mi abuelo y su esposo (que en paz descansen los dos) eran amigos. Me dio tanta emocion. La señora nos prometio que algun dia nos dejaria ver la casa y el jardin que tiene la casa. Yo se que la casa se mira como si se esta cayendo, de hecho asi se a visto desde que yo era pequeña, pero esa casa siempre a sido muy especial para mi por obvias razones. Siempre pense que la compraria para renovarla a como estaba. No se si mi sueño se podra hacer realidad algun dia, pero por lo mientras me conformo con las anecdotas que me contaron y la oportunidad de poder conocer la casa por dentro. Se preguntaran que quien es el hombre de la foto. El es Hilario Delgado, mi tatarabuelo. El fue presidente municipal de Ciudad Porfirio Diaz, Coahuila, ahora conocido como Piedras Negras Coahuila en 1898.

Yesterday Miguel and I went to Piedras Negras. I passed by the house in the picture and told Miguel that my family lived there long long ago. Miguel convinced me to stop the car to check out the house. I stopped and before we got out of the car a lady walked out of another home. We saw her, but thought nothing. After observing the house for a couple of minutes I decided to ask the lady if she knew if the house was for rent. This was a pretty dumb question because the home is in very bad shape. She proceeded to tell me that it was not for rent that she had other houses for rent. I told her that my family lived there and she looked at me incrediously, her family had been the owners for the last 50 years. She then asked what was my last name, I said "Delgado" and as soon as I mentioned that information she was very friendly. It so happens that her family bought the house form my family. Not only did she talk to Miguel and I for a long while, but she spoke very highly of my family. She actually knew my grandfather ( I never met him, he passed a year before I was born) and told me that he was born in that house. The owner of the home was Hilario Delgado, he was my grandfather's grandfather who was also the mayor of Ciudad Porfirio Diaz, now known as Piedras Negras in 1898. Her husband and my grandfather were friends. She promised that later on she would let Miguel and I go in the house and look at the garden that also belonged to the home. They said that the house was very beautiful. My father also told me that long ago (about 100 years ago) during a flood, everyone in Piedras took refuge in that house. I know it may look like a pretty ugly house to you, but I have always wanted to buy the house and restore it to what it originally looked like. I hope that one day I can do that, but for now I am happy to be able to talk to the owner and visit the home. A funny fact is that she told me that at one time her husband had turned the home into a funeral home and many people are scared to walk at night in front of the home, the call it the "creepy house," to me it is everything but creepy, in fact, it has a really special vibe to me.

Driver's License

Miguel was able to get his driver's license this week. It is amazing that half a year ago he was not able to get one ID and now he has several. It is wonderful and amazing how life has changed for us. I know, it is sooooo simple to get an ID for me and for most of you, but that was not the case for Miguel, so we are greatful that he can now get it.

Miguel ya obtuvo la licensia. Es impresionante que hace unos meses no podia tener ni siquiera una identificacion, y ahora tiene varias.

NPR News

As I was driving I listened NPR news and they were talking about a website called Politifact.com.
I find NPR news to be a reputable source, so I decided to check the website out.


When I was listening to NPR it turned out that Palin had said that Obama was going to raise a sorts of taxes including income taxes, payroll taxes, the death tax, and business taxes by hundreds of millions of dollars. Politifact found that the Republicans were stretching the truth, the fact is that Obama is looking to discontinue the tax cuts that Bush had given to those families earning above $250,000. It only includes wealthier Americans.

Palin also said that she told Congress "Thanks, but no thanks on the bridge to nowhere," but she exaggerated her role. NPR stated that "once the bridge became known as the bridge to nowhere it became the most famous earmark and became a symbol of wasteful spending." Congress was already killing the bill by the time she said "Thanks, but no thanks," and Alaska still received the funds that would have been allotted to the bridge to nowhere.

I am not saying NPR news is always right, but I think they try to be as unbiased as possible.

If you click on the title, it will take you to the link where you can hear the report.

Republican National Convention

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO............................

I have not become part of the GOP, but I thought I would give them a chance and hear them out during their convention, and man.... do they make me MAD!!! From GOP public screaming Drill Baby, Drill to Julianni making rude remarks, I have just had it with the Republicans. If I keep watching.... I might.... I just might have a heart attack. Mendy (my coworker)....if you don't see me tomorrow... I had a heart attack.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....................

No me he hecho parte de el partido Republicano, pero pense ver su convencion y amigos, me quiere dar un ataque al corazon de los corajes que me estan haciendo pasar.

More San Antonio

Like I said.... Miguel and I walked and walked and walked. Why did we walk so much you ask yourself? Well.... we wanted to go to the Tower of the Americas. When I was a little girl my dad once told me that his father had taken him to the Tower of the Americas. Well, I never met my grandfather. Unfortunately he passed away a year before I was born. So I had always wanted to go because that was a very significant place to me. I knew for a matter of fact that years ago, MANY years ago, my grandfather was there. I was finally able to go, and it was really cool!!!! In another, Miguel started panicking (a little), he is afraid of heights and was very happy to be back on the ground.

Como les dije.... Migul y yo caminamos y caminamos y caminamos. Por que caminanos tanto se preguntan? Pues... por que queriamos ir a la Torre de las Americas. Cuando yo era niña, mi padre me dijo que cuando el era niño su papa lo llevo. Yo nunca conoci a mi abuelo, desafortunadamente murio 12 meses antes de que yo naciera. Siempre quize ir ahi, por que sabia, estaba segura que hacia años, pero MUCHOS MUCHOS años el llevo a mi papa y estubo ahi, en ese mismo sitio. Por fin se me cumplio mi deseo de ir!!!En otra nota, Miguel estaba medio temeroso por que le tiene medio a las alturas. Ya que llegamos al piso estaba demasiado contento!!

San Antonio

Miguel y yo tubimos que ir a San Antonio hoy (viernes), y pues ya que estabamos ahi, decidimos pasearnos. Caminamos muchisimo..... no se como aguantamos para todavia manejar hasta Austin.

Miguel and I had to go to San Antonio today. Once we were there, we decided to be tourist. We passed our whole afternoon downtown and walked and walked and walked. I don't know how I was able to drive back to Austin.

Miguel's Birthday

Miguel just turned 33 yesterday. It was a long day for me. Miguel wanted me to make him chicken soup, mole and a cake. I spent all day trying to make everything perfect for the second that Miguel walked in the door. Before buying the food at the super market I decided to pay my cell phone bill on the internet... Well.... I was destracted, I was not paying attention and I submitted for payment twice and made my account go to $000000000. Just perfect! I called Tmobile and they were just wonderful! Even though they could not put the funds in my account immediately, they promised me they would in 2 business days. I did not need it in 2 business days, I needed the money TODAY, but I remembered I had $100 in a secret place, so I proceeded to get that money to buy the ingridients for dinner. Finally.... I could go to the superparket! After returning I made the cake and proceeded to do the chicken soup... well the top of the pot is made from wood and when I picked up the top a splint got caught between my nail and my finger. I was bleeding. I wrapped my finger up and continued with the mole. After emptying the contents that were in the blender, I accidently broke it. I remember and I still get very upset! Magnificent! What a day! As a picked up the pieces of the cup that I had just brocken I cut myself with those pieces. I was just furious by that time, but I was still able to keep my cool. I called Miguel and he asked if he could go play with the band. I just wanted to die (NOT LITERALLY), I was just a mess because I was making dinner and Miguel just told me he wanted to spend his birthday playing with the band. Could anything else just go worst now? I just ignored him and did not tell him anything, after all it was his birthday and he could do what he wishes. Right? By the time Miguel got home I was just a mess. I was crying and telling him what a horrible day I had and how tired I was. After being home for a while Miguel decided he wanted to go to Johny Carino's, but was afraid that I would get upset. Well... after everything that happened with the food, I wanted nothing to do with it. We went to Carino's and had a nice dinner. I wish Miguel many more birthdays and if it means that I will go crazy every Agust 13th, it does not matter, because it would mean that we are together. I love him.

Miguel cumplio 33 años ayer. Para mi... fue un largo dia. Miguel queria que le hiciera caldo de pollo, mole, y un pastel capricho. Todo el dia me ocupe para que cuando llegara a casa todo estubiera perfecto. Antes de ir a comprar las cosas pague el telefono y me equivoque y lo pague dos veces, lo pague por internet y pues le hize click dos veces. Perfecto!!!! Era todo el dinero que tenia para comprar las cosas y me lo gaste en una equivocacion! Llame a la compañia de telefono y afortunadamente me regresaron mi dinero. Fui a el super a comprar todos lo ingredientes para la cena. Regese a casa y me puse a hacer el pastel. Comenze hacer el caldo y me hastille entre mi uña y mi dedo con la tapa de una olla, la agarradera es de madera. Grandioso.... luego comenze hacer el mole y quebre la copa de la licuadora, afortunadamente ya habia vaciado los contenidos. Magnifico... me corte OTRA VEZ!! Cuando fuimos a Celaya, la mama de Miguel nos hizo mole e hizo mole poblano y mole verde. Pense en hacer eso, pero obvio... era muy tarde. Despues le llame a Miguel y....... me dijo que queria ir a ensayar... eso fue la gota que derramo el vaso. No le dije nada, pero me hizo sentir super mal. Ya para cuando llego a casa estaba cansadisima y hasta estaba llorando por que apesar que la comida estaba hecha sentia que todo me habia salido mal. Miguel llego a consolarme y decidio que mejor nos fueramos a Johny Carinos (un restaurante Italiano). Penso que me iba a molestar, pero despues de todo lo que me paso ya no queria saber nada de mole, nada de caldo. Como quiera no la pasamos bien. Espero que Miguel cumpla muchos años mas y aun que me pase todo un CAOS por el, estoy contenta por que significa que estamos juntos. Lo amo.

Back to School

It has been decided!!! I will go back to school this fall. I am so excited!!!!! I will only need 24 hours with a thesis or 27 without a thesis and 6 hours for my minor. It turns out that I am done with my minor and can start thinking about Political Science again. I only have 24 or 27 I have not decided between thesis or non-thesis) hours to go. I think I will take two classes and see how I handle them. It will be great to be back to what I love!

Ya esta decidido!!! Regresare a la universidad este otoño y estoy muy emocionada. Solo tengo que hacer 24 horas con tesis o 27 horas sin tesis y al menos 6 horas de otras clases. Ya acabe mis otras clases y puedo comensar a pensar en la politologia una vez mas!!! Solo me faltan 24 o 27 horas (todavia no he decidido si hare tesis o no). Creo que tomare 2 clases (el equivalente a 6 horas) y vere que tal me va. Sera maravilloso regrar a lo que me encanta!

Quien Soy?

Who am I? I am a Mexican-American 24 year old woman. I am a sister. I am a daugther. I am a wife. I am a grand daughter. I also work for TAI, a non-profit that helps people with different abilities. BUT... that is NOT precisely what I want to be. What do I want to be? I want to be a person who impacts her community in a positive way. I want to be able to help the hispanic community progress and be proud of who we are. I have no idea how to do that, but that is what I want to do. I want to be able to leave a footprint for my descendants. My mother is a wonderful human being and I doubt that I could ever be like her. I actually don't want to be like her, but I do want to make the impact she has made on her community. Who am I? I actually do not know who I am, but I know who I want to be and I will be working towards that. For the mean time I am a human being who loves her family very much!

Quien soy? Soy una mujer Mexico-Americana de 24 años de edad. Soy una hermana. Soy una hija. Soy una esposa. Soy una nieta. Tambien trabajo para Tecnologia e Inclusion, una compañia no lucrativa que ayuda a personas con capacidades diferentes. Pero eso no es presisamente lo que quiero ser. Que quiero ser? Quiero poder ser una persona que ayuda a su comunidad e impacta la vida de otras personas en una manera positiva. Quiero poder ayudar a la comunidad hispana a progresar. No se como hacerlo, pero lo quiero hacer. Quiero que mi comunidad se pueda sentirse orgullosos de si mismos y quiero que podamos avansar. Quiero poder dejar una huella para mis decendientes. Mi madre es una gran persona y dudo mucho poder ser como ella. No quiero ser como ella, pero si quiero poder impactar a mi comunidad como ella lo hace. Quien soy? NO SE QUIEN SOY. Pero creo saber lo quiere ser y por ahorita con eso basta. Poco a poco trabajare para ser la persona que quiero ser. Por lo tanto soy un ser humano que amada a su familia.

Bautizo

Miguel y yo tubimos el honor de poder bautizar a Aleck Zander. Yo quiero mucho a Aleck y los que estan cerca de mi saben por que.

Miguel and I had the honor of baptizing Aleck Zander. I love Aleck a lot and those of you who are close to me know why. I feel a very special love for him and I hope to always be there for him.

Aleck... I want you to know that I will always be here to support you in what you need. You will grow up and be a wonderful human being. I expect a lot from you!
