My parents in-law came to visit for the last week. I had to take them yesterday so my sister in-law could enjoy them too. Having them here was great. The kids love them so much. Nicky keeps asking for them. I feel bad for her. She thinks that they will come back sometime soon. How do you explain this to a toddler? Looking at her face when she realized that they were leaving it was something that I will never forget. Her eyes were full of tears. But you could see she was seriously sad. She didn't even finish her happy meal. It break my heart when I had to tell her about they having to go and visit more grandchildren. She was so disappointed. It was the first time that I actually feel the need to be close to family. The kids need to be around their own cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles. In our situation for now it is so difficult. But definitely in the future we are planning to stay the closest that we can to our families. We are trying to convince my parents in-law to move to Texas. Would it be so nice for the kids having them close. Anyway my dear husband is waiting for me to have a nice and relaxing evening now that the kids are sleeping. We rented a movie. (suggested for my mother in-law) I will give my review tomorrow of the movie.

A year younger?

Today is my b-day. I had a terrific time. My friend Polly came to visit this morning and brought me an excellent gift. A nativity scene for my Christmas tree, (she knew I was looking for one:). another of my friend gave me a little oven for my kitchen:). I received lots of calls and emails from family and friends. I had already two presents one from my friend Lindsay and another from my mother in-law. I took Ian, Nicky and her friend Mason to a costume party that our apartments complex threw. Glenn is on call so he has to be at the hospital 'till tomorrow. But he just called me to wish me a happy b-day. I'm happy to turn a year younger:) which mean that I'm turning 27 years old:).

I don't know why I'm so scare to be old. I guess it's just something traditional as a Mexican, or as a women, or both. However, I'm glad for all that I have. I have a wonderful family. Glenn always tries his best to be a great husband, father, and student. My kids are very good (when they are not causing troubles). I have the best friends that I could ever ask for. I really feel that I'm very bless.

Okay, before I turn this in a talk for sacrament meetings I'll say that I'm still waiting for Glenn to write in this blog, let see if he does it as a b-day gift.

Anyway I'll go to sleep tomorrow will be Halloween, which means A LONG DAY!

The queen!

I did it!

After I tried twice I finally could finish our blog. I totally felt like a dummy. I guess I wasn't focusing enough. Anyways I finally convinced Glenn on writting in this blog too. So I will start counting his blogs, to see if he just told me to be able to go to sleep, or if he really mean it:).

Anyway lots of good things had happened to us. First we had my in-laws visit. It was a terrific time. The kids really made a conection with their granparents. Glenn had the chance to talk a lot with his dad, and I had the chance to know them more. They are the best parents in-law I could ever ask to have. Two days after they leave. A friend of my threw a costume party for me and my friend Aubrey's b-day. It was awsome seeing everybody in their coustumes. We were surranding by friends wich made things go very realxing. I'm planning to take Nicky and Ian tomorrow to the costume party that our apartament complex made for Halloween. By the way tomorrow is my b-day wow! not everyday I can say that I'm turning 27, but every year:).

Anyway, it's getting late so I guess I could writte more tomorrow.
