Change of Season

Ahhhh.... Havent been on in a while, summer is hot, and hectic here in Vegas and I love it, BUT not as much as I love the fall! For some reason I feel nostalgic when I think of fall and the holiday season??? What signifies the beginnig of fall for me is usually when the kids go back to school in late August, time seems to fly and before I know it, the holiday's begin with Labor Day. My favorite month is September, of course because its my birthday month and I LOVE to celebrate! This year is going to be special because my husband and I will be taking a "staycation", we are getting a hotel for the weekend on the strip and will be eating out and watching shows and all the other good stuff you do in a hotel room ;) We have never had a vacation without the kids so even though we are in town, I am worried that the little ones wont sleep or that my sister who is going to babysit wont know how to calm them down, I just hope we can enjoy this alone time because we really need it!

Life has been hectic!

I havent posted in a while, just really busy with, well.... life! I took everyones advice and have decided to not sit and sulk in my misery (ok, its not that bad but you get the picture right?) and enjoy the rest of the time I have left here. I cant wait to go back for another visit before we move, hoping the end of this month or beginning of next, we will see how soon the consulate here can get us the paperwork we need. On another note, I am finally a Mexican citizen YAY!!!!! I will be picking up my official birth certificate on the 28th of this month, so excited to know that I will be able to look for work when we get down there.

First Communion

My babies had their first communion yesterday and we couldn't be happier! After two long years of classroom instruction we were thrilled to know they had passed their exams with flying colors. We also got lucky that we went to Mexico a couple weeks back and were able to purchase their dresses in downtown Guadalajara for a fraction of what they cost here in the U.S. My baby girls are growing so quickly, soon we will be preparing for their Confirmation and Quinceaneras!
