love thursday on wednesday....



i know that i wont have time tomorrow, so i thought ahead... love thursday... i love spending much needed time and vacations with my media naranja, brent!... as of today, wednesday, may 23, 2007 we have been married for 2 years, 6 months and 19 days.... sadly, these are about all of the pictures that we have ever taken together... hopefully i will become a better photographer and take more picture someday... maybe when we have kids... i hope you enjoy the reminiscing as much as i did...




hawaii...june 2006... we woke up at about 2am so we could take a bus to the top of the volcano, the highest point on the island, and rode down the whole volcano while the sun was rising... so beautiful! oh... and dont you just love my awesome huge blue parka... it was so freezing cold at the top, it was before the sun was up... or just coming up...
nyc... martin luther king weekend... feb 2005....who doesnt love a trip to nyc... we went ice skating in central park... so much fun... great memories...

christmas 2004.... we spent our first christmas together after being married in disneyland with my family...


march 2006....after i graduated in december 2005 brent surprised me with a trip to greece... i had always wanted to go there, we both loved it! so pretty! we are on the island of santorini (where sisterhood of the traveling pants was filmed)
i love the contrast of the white houses and blue doors, we painted our front door blue so we could have a little taste of greece while in mexico... ha... turkey... the blue mosque...inside this mosque or church all women have to cover their heads to be admitted in... so we bought this blue scarf...
november 2004...so... these are obviously not in chronological order... this is our honeymoon... we are at xcaret... a natural water park in cancun mexico...

november 2005....this picture is actually of some random lady... see the woman sitting on the bus stop bench... in all blue... well, brent and i were walking behind her, and she fluffed, both of us looked at each other in amazement, wondering if we really heard "her" right... it was pretty loud... i could hardly keep from laughing out loud... that is when i crossed the street and took this picture... san francisco... 1st anniversary... unfortunately, i have no pictures of us... see what i mean...



...and these... these are the model homes that we are building in san carlos, sonora mexico... they are the reason that i will not be blogging for the next few days... we are moving all the furniture in starting tomorrow! yeah!!! i am so excited... i am the interior decorator for these 5 models that brent has been in charge of building... he is kind of like a glorified superintendent... didnt he do such a great job! they are looking so great... landscaping will all be done soon too... i am excited!

earthquake!!!

since we have been living here, we have felt two earthquakes... kind of crazy... i didnt expect that to be one of the things that we would encounter while living here! here is a picture of the first earthquake, the star is where it originated from. it was about 7:30am our time wednesday, january 4th 2007. the whole house wobbled or swayed for a few seconds, i thought i was dreaming... (if you go straight east from the star and up just a little, that is where guaymas is) .... this is the picture of the second earthquake that we have felt... this one was yesterday... may 20th 2007. again... crazy... brent and i were sitting on the couch, enjoying our sunday afternoon, and it was almost like the ground was growling... then shaking the whole house for only a second or two... but you cant miss it... crazy!!!!

love thursday...



so... last wednesday was dia de la madre in mexico... it is always the 10 de mayo... for mutual they youth made cards for their madres and then we made heart shaped cupcakes... they turned out really cute! then, at 11:30pm we left the church in 4 different cars to caravan the youth to their casas to sing to the mothers. i guess it is a tradition here to sing "mananitas" at 12 o clock...to tell someone felicidades or congratulations in the first hour of that day, whether it is their birthday or any other special day... the moms were all surprised and the kids loved it... we were out until almost 2 am singing to all the moms! luckily they did not have school the next day... love thursday is for all the moms in the world... we love you and thank you for doing such a great job!
