Our Super Super Super Super-Bowl Party Mexican Style





We were in Satillo, Tamaulipas, Mexico for the super bowl. My husband was so disapointed when he found out that we were going to be away from a DVR during that weekend. However, we had one of the best super bowl parties ever!! We left the church building and headed to a taqueria to eat some amazing tacos. AND. . . they had the super bowl! Jorge was a crazy man! He was jumping here and there and yelling. The yelling took place in English and in Spanish. He was so glad that the Giants won. It was hilarious. We heard the game broadcast in Spanish. We saw the last 4 minutes. That was enough. Here are some pictures.
Chavela priming our built-ins. Yes, built-ins-we're keeping them. Free furniture, people!!




So. . . . here's what's been going on at our house. We don't have the trim up yet. . . waiting on our bedroom to be finished before we show the end product. The muslim look is to cover up my nose and mouth for the dust. I have some "issues" that's what Jorge says anyway. Allergies. I'm not converting, don't worry!

I went home early yesterday from school.
I have 102 degree fever. No, it is not the flu. Don't know what it is. But I DON'T run fever. I still have fever now, though. I'm becoming a part of the coutch. Jorge has just been super. He's so kind. So, I'm camped out here in the living room with my drugs and I'm missing the 100th day of kindergarten . . . . the show must go on. Let me catch up and I'll post some pictures soon. I have quite a few. Jorge and I have been remodeling our home s l o w l y, very slowly! But, we're gettin' it done. My in-laws are so awesome. Jose (my favorite father-in-law painter) has been helping us tear down panelling, scrape popcorn ceilings, tape and bed, mud, and retexture. Oh, and paint too!! We have one room done and the other just needs to be painted. We're doing one room at a time so that I won't go nuts. It might just be working.
I'm taking two grad classes this semester. One is great, the other is going to test me. Much more on that later. So, Paige, Neil, and Andrea, I've updated a little.
