More of Mexico

I had a few more pictures that I thought I'd post. The picture below is Aurelia's new dining room. Aurelia is the preacher's mom in Jimenez. She had added a dining room to her home.

Mama and Daddy
There were military guards all over the place everywhere we went this year. The church members said that it was to help keep the drug dealers under control because the police couldn't do it. So here's a picture of them.

Snow Day!! No school today. Instead of dusting my living room . . . I was side tracked and decided to update the ole blog. Looks a little better I think. What else do I need? Please let me know. I'm learning
S L O W L Y! Hope your day is wonderful!

A Quick Trip to Jimenez, Tamps. Mexico

On Friday morning at 3:40 there was a knock at my door. It was my Daddy, Mama, and Debbie and James Hawk. We all piled in a rented van and headed to see our hermanos south of the border. We arrived around 6:40 and headed straight for some delicious tacos. Here's Jorge with a plate full of tacos.


On Saturday we went to Cuidad Victoria and went shopping. We stopped at a street vendor for lunch and had some really great gorditas. The best ones were the pork ones with green salsa. MMMMMMMM!!! I can still taste them. Here are Daddy, James, and Debbie.

This crazy dude was standing outside of the pharmacy doing a jig. He looked like he was flat buring up in that suit. I made them take a picture with him.

Finally, my Maria! My good buddy Maria was there too. She's a nurse in Jimenez. We're the same age and well. . . I like hanging around her!

We got home Monday night and are already missing our hermanos there.

We had a great time and can't wait to return.

Happy New Year!!!

I have one more class and I will have 24 hours done for my masters program. Only 9 more to go, PEOPLE!!! Yippppeeee!!!! It's been great so far. I've learned so much about my profession and how to be a better teacher.

Tomorrow I get hear Erin Gruewell (the teacher from Freedom Writers). She's coming to our disctict. I'm gettin' her autograph! For the afternoon, I am part of a team that gets to do our campus staff development. It's fun! Just lettin' you know what's been happenin' for the last few weeks. : )
