Muchas Gracias Ashley, Ryan, and Bethany!!!

Ayudame! Ayudame!

Estoy in Cuernavaca por dos semanas para aprender español. Estoy in una clase de cuatros estudiantes: un mujer que es estudiante de español de la universidad de Iowa que estudiaba español hace 6 años; un mujer que es estudiante de epañol de la universidad de Utah que servió un mision de Argentina, un hombre que es estudiante de español de la universidad de Utah tambien, y servió un mision de San Antonio (español); y yo. Ayudame!

My Favorite Furniture

My favorite piece of furniture arrived from San Antonio last week, and even though they packed it in a special crate, they chipped a piece off the beautiful black finish. Interestingly, though, I don´t mind - I asked a piano tuner to come tune it since it had just been shipped. He thought my piano was a Boesendorfer (sp?) which is a piano that costs easily $100,000. He spent hours tuning it (I never thought he was going to leave) and it now sounds unbelievable! It actually sounds like a $100,000 piano. So what´s a little chip in the finish?

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

So I love our new home. The construction is incredibly sound. There is 2 feet of concrete between floors, which means you can jump, scream, or have a wild party on one floor and nobody will hear you on the next floor. Which is great UNLESS - you happen to accidenetally lock yourself in the closet in the basement floor when your husband is on the main floor. Enough said.

Lost and Found

We´re finally unpacked and moved in. The amazing thing with moving is that you get to inventory all of your belongings and, believe me, you find things you never realized you had. such as:

32 (yes, I counted them) Books of Mormon (I believe these were all from dad calling the mission president in SA and begging for BOM´s because he had some people he was dying to give them to, and he couldn´t find any extra around the house. Pretty obvious he never gave them out.

3 Pirans from Brazil They´re stuffed, mind you, but they are truly Piranas.

20$ bill - stuck in an old Christmas Card from grandma to lindsey.

1 dried bouquet of roses from Bethany´s wedding (by the way, do you want them, Bethany?)

12 old bras - at least

1 large leather whip (yep, the kind you beat people with)

4 large stuffed frogs (pink or green)

2 Young women statues

1 crocheting project half finished (I believe this is Linsey´s. Perhaps Brandon can finish it for you)

So, if you´re missing any of the above items, let me know ASAP, or they´re going out in the trash (except for the $20)

Back in Mexico

After a wonderful vacation in Houston visiting my kids and grandkids, I´ve returned to good old Mexico. We moved into an empty house (until tomorrow when the movers arrive.)

Yep, we´re really Mexicans, and if you don´t believe it, take a look at the bright orange house we just spent a good part of our life savings purchasing.

And here is a picture of the view from our living room:

And my very own kitchen ( without Mario)
