Catch-up

Time to play catch up! Here's a sampling of the past few weeks: 



Sweet Brady at Andrea's band concert

In Wisconsin, I got to celebrate my birthday which was very exciting!! 26! Can you believe it??? That sounds dangerously close to 30 :) 


When I came back from Wisconsin, I found these beautiful flowers! My wonderful husband planned a fabulous birthday for me. The day after I got back, on Saturday, I went to get pampered, ala Edwin's planning. When I arrived at the boutique they said they had something for me. Edwin had left me a bottle of wine to enjoy with a sweet note. Don't worry, I didn't drink it all! I got my eyebrows threaded (amazing), a facial and my makeup done. So fun. 

Edwin got his wisdom teeth taken out on August 24th. He started at the dentist, where they took out 2 1/2 wisdom teeth. The 3rd tooth broke off and Edwin saw it fly across the room. He knew he was in for a long evening. They sent him to the closest oral surgeon to finish the job. I was at training for my new internship, so our wonderful friends Ted & Leigh brought Edwin to the surgeon and kept him company until I got there. That Friday night was pretty rough on the pain front, but things gradually improved. Lots of mashed potatoes, chicken broth, jello and pudding. Edwin is now nearly fully healed and the doc says things are lookin good.  


Over Labor Day weekend, we went to Houston to visit Edwin's family. We spent lots of time with Jafet, who is a very sweet and energetic little boy. On Saturday Edwin's mom made pupusas, which are a Salvadorian treat, and we all went to a park. 

The semester started last week, and I'm easing into my fall schedule. I am loving my new internship as a Career Counseling Intern. I'm currently observing the other counselors, and am confident that I'm in the right spot. 

That's all for now! We've been watching the DNC the past 2 nights- Michelle was pretty great last night, huh?! Toodles!

  1. Oh what a treat! WE are in the lobby of the Lake Powell resort after dinner in Page, AZ. Checking our blogs and e-mail. So what does it mean to have your eyebrows threaded? Did I tell you I had a pedicure and then went back for a manicure? This was at USA Nails in EC before we left. I'm glad your mouth is better Edwin. I vowed never to have another tooth removed without being completely under. No more PTSD for me! We are having a good time. As expected, Dad is having a hard time being a regular traveler. He's giving advice about the red dust out on the reservation (keep your camera covered) and lots of other little tips. If anyone is paying attention, he's either a Type A personality dashing about taking pictures of EVERYTHING or he must be in the tour biz. No one has really asked though. Talk to you soon! lOve to all Mom
