Clinton Rally..




I went to a Hillary Rally, and I had a lot of fun. Bill Clinton was the speaker, and even though I could not get close enough to get a good picture, it was very empowering to be at the rally. After that I was going to go to a Barack Obama rally, but it was too late once I left this one. For those of you who think that I am now all for Hillary, I am not, not yet. I can still be swayed.


Fui a ver a Bill Clinton ayer en la Universidad de Texas para escucharlo en su campaña para su esposa. Me diverti muchisimo y aunque no pude conseguir una muy buena foto, la energia que se respiraba daba para todos.

The time is coming....






The time is coming when Miguel and I must go to Mexico...

He is very excited because he will get to see his mother and sisters which he has not seen in about 9 years. I am also very excited because hopefully we will have a little liberty to travel and perhaps plan a long awaited honey moon. For the mean time, we are having a blast! We value the time we spend together a lot more and are trying to prepare ourselves for what is to come. Saturday we went to see Los Monologos de la Vagina; and while Miguel was a little skeptical about going, he enjoyed it. The energy that we have among each other is so positive and so wonderful, that I wish this never ends.
El tiempo se ha venido de ir a Mexico...

Miguel esta muy emocionado por que no ha visto a su mama y a sus hermanas como desde el 99. Yo tambien estoy muy emocionada, alomejor y ya tendremos la libertad de viajar un poco de irnos a nuestra larga esperada luna de miel. Ahorita estamos disfrutando el tiempo que tenemos juntos y lo estamos valorando mas. El sabado Miguel y yo fuimos a ver Los Monologos de la Vagina y creanlo o no, Miguel lo disfruto! La energia que tenemos los dos ultimamente es muy positiva y maravillosa, es genial estar asi con tu pareja!

Valentines





ohhh. valentines day... el amour... el amour....
Diana had a little valentines party at her school which was really fun... I did not want to leave because it was pretty fun hangging out with her. Miguel and I went to Azul Tequila to celebrate and listened to a little Mariachi. It was good.

Immigration/Imigracion



Well, it turns out that we already have the appointment for Miguel's residency card. It is ver exciting and very scary at the same time. There are alot of what if's in our minds. What if.... they tell him yes, but you will have to stay in Mexico for a year? What if... they say no? What if they say yes? What if? What if? What if? I am tired of it. I just want to live a normal life without the anguish in the back of my mind that my husband could be deported for a traffic ticket at any time. I am tired of wondering whether he will be coming home today from work. I am tired of fearing the worst some mornings. I am tired of hugging him in the morning with a thought in my mind saying, maybe this is the last time you will hug him in a while because he may be deported. I cannot imagine how children feel when they think the things I do, I cannot imagine what wives think when they know they have children to feed, educate and love, I cannot imgaine what parents feel like when their little ones go to school and they dont know whether they will see their children that evening. You kind of want to turn a blind eye towards the situation, but their is always a thought in the back of your mind where you have fear.

Hoy nos llego la cita de immigracion. La verdad es que es emocionante, pero nos da miedo a la vez. Hay muchas cosas que tenemos que pansar...Que si... esto? Que si... lo otro? Que si le dicen que si pero que se tiene que quedar en Mexico un tiempo? Que si le dicen de plano que no? Que si le dicen que si? Ya estoy cansada de pensar en esta situacion, estoy cansada de el temor de pensar que alomejor mi esposo no regresara del trabajo hoy por que lo deportaron. No me puedo imaginar como los niños se sienten de pensar que alomejor no van a ver a papa o a mama. No puedo imaginar como se sienten las esposas que tienen hijos que educar, que crear se sienten de pensar que alomejor el espeso no llegara hoy.... tampoco me puedo imaginar como se sienten los padres de saber que alomejor hoy no veran a sus hijos en la tarde por que les dieron una infraccion automobilistica y el policia se dio cuanto que eran indocumentados. Tratas de hacerte de la vista gorda... pero la verdad es que siempre esta el miedo.
