So June has been one chaotic month ( Read more... )

Yesterday my fiance and I met up with my parents at my aunt's house. Everyone was there, other aunts, uncles and cousins...as well as my grandmother (the matriarch of the family). As soon as we got there one of my aunts pulled me aside to tell me she's going to use the women in the family as guinea pigs (for her new "job" as an online make-up ( Read more... )

Yeah, well I'm not so quick on the draw when it comes to updating my LiveJournal...but I gave it a spiffy new look ( Read more... )

So this last weekend my fiance and I (along with his mother and two of his brothers) took a trip across the border into Acuna, Mexico. The plan was to go to the dentist there so my fiance could get his root-canal(s) done at minimal cost.

The Thursday after my fiance's birthday (my last post), we were given a four-day weekend (with Friday & Monday paid) for New Years. My fiance and I spent our four-day New Years weekend with my parents & my maternal grandmother (who was visiting from Arizona). Since my fiance's birthday was December 27th and my mom's birthday was December 29th, we ( Read more... )

It's 1:40am, Wednesday, December 27th - which officially makes today my fiance's 26th birthday!

YAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!
