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.

Hope ya'll can see sideways. I have no clue how to move these pictures. I'm so terrible at this!! HELP!! Yes, my husband's an electrical engineer but he's yelling at the Colts right now. Oh well!

So I've been tagged!!! Here's my page 123 and 4th, 5th and 6th sentences. From the book Friday Night Lights by H. G. Bissinger

Sure he can get his boys to pummel the El Pasos. Anyone and his mother can do that. But against the big boys he big time bellies up. . . He doesn't need the pressure of it because he has been through it before.

Hope you've enjoyed that!! I've posted some pictures from our wild and exciting trip to Lamesa, Texas by way of Midland. We had tickets to Lubbock but were informed that it was closed to flights because of the ice. So we flew to Midland and stayed with some wonderful members of the church, David and Stephanie. While we were there, Lane,Page, and Zoey came and spent the weekend there. We all stayed lots longer than we had planned because of the ice. Our flight was delayed a day back to DFW because of ice. But, we made it!! Hope you enjoy the pics.

I'm trying to update at least once every 12 weeks now. How long do you think I'll keep THAT up? Congratulations Congratulations Jaymie!! I had to say it twice because she's expecting twice the number of babies. Boy, won't that be fun!!! We're looking forward to Neil and Andrea and their crew coming down from Yankeville to visit for Christmas. Can't wait.

I told somebody the other day who was fussin' about the frequency of my posts that I didn't need to write all that much because there's not THAT much changing around here. So for now, we'll keep up the 12 week deal and stick with that until something changes. Got it?

All in all we're fine and life is particularly grand!!!

excusas excusss. . . No hay Niguna buena. Susan, I'm sorry. I'm updating now!!! We're enjoying Greenville and learning something new everyday. We're worshiping with Johnson Street Iglesia de Cristo and we're driving the van. Yikes!! A fifteen passenger van has very often exceeded its limits. But. . . the kids are small and boy do we pack 'em in like sardines!!! I'm realizing that I am NOT fluent in young children's Bible songs in Spanish. I'm learning quickly though. Here are some random pics to keep everybody from being so grouchy. Granny was doing so well after her last surgery!!! Still keep praying for her. The rest of the pictures are of thanksgivin' at OUR house (that was odd---but fun) and Jorge cutting down some of our forest we call a yard.

more 4th of July

How about a tradition uninteruppted for years!!!!!! We had a blast at Mama and Daddy's for the 4th of July. Here are some pictures.

Well it has just been a blast!!! Our new home has been wonderful except for the plumbing. We had some serious issues, but now we are flowing freely!!! On July 6th we will have our internet and I'll post plenty of pictures then. Until then. . . hasta luego.

Hi everybody!!! We're new at this stuff!
