Late I know, Monthly Questions?????

I have finally gotten around to my monthly questions. Hope you guys enjoy and leave your link for you answers. So for the delay but hope you join in on the fun!!

1. So because we have recently gotten engaged I was wondering how all your hubby's popped the big question?

I think you all saw my last blog post if not here it is Engagement Dinner

2. What Jewelery do you wear daily?

I always have to have earrings on, my engagement ring, and two others on my right hand. I feel naked without all of them.

3. Have you ever been told you talk in your sleep?

I don't think anyone has ever told me, but I have woken myself up thinking that I am talking out loud to someone.

4. What are 3 websites you visit daily?

Email, facebook, and my blogger dashboard.

5. Are you allergic to anything?
 
I took one of those test one time were they actually injected me with about 50 different items to see if and how highly I was allergic to that specific thing. It hurt and was not very helpful.
It told me I was allergic to certain trees, freshly cut grass, pollen and dust. It did not tell me that I was allergic to cats even though when I get near one my throat starts closing up and my eyes get swollen and puffy. Or that apples make my mouth itchy, marshmallows make my skin itchy or certain soaps give me hives. I know I know I'm a mess lol.

6. Have you ever had the chicken pox?

I did when I was younger around 7 or 8 I think. It happened at the same time that it snowed at our house. Of course this had never happened before and I was stuck inside watching all the other kids playing in the snow covered  streets.  I felt better after when my aunt purposely brought my cousin around to get it also so that he could get it over with.

7. Last book you read?

Actually I just finished the Twilight saga in 3 wks, no wonder I am blind.  I know, I know you either love it or hate it, sorry I am one of the dorks that got hooked.

8.  4 of your Favorite Alcoholic drinks.

Wine coolers, Long island iced teas, anything with vodka, and I recently found ou I love cider(wish they had them here). So yummy and closest thing that will come to beer for me.

9. What color is your bedroom wall painted?

A bright aqua blue with dirty marks all over it. Javi keeps saying he want to paint it but I will hold out for that one like I have been holding out for the closet.

10.Finish the sentence...

I'm hungry for...... pizza and sherbet ice cream
I'm wearing...... jeans and a tank top
I'm sad when..... javi leaves for work in the middle of the day
I feel like.... I am melting waiting for the rain to come

Its like I never left

I know, I know, I have been a terrible blogger lately. Sorry for the long intervals between posts the last couple months.

 I had my ups and downs in the states but all in all had a great time with my family. It is hard being away from Javi while being there, and visa versa here. Always carrying that bittersweet feeling and going from the slow laid back lifestyle to the fast never stopping life. I am so glad that I was given that chance to spend time with everyone though and do some of the things I had not been able to do for a while. I got a lot of shopping in and was able to bring back a lot of goodies for the family here. It is funny the first night I get back everyone all sits around the sala waiting for me to bring out all my gifts like its Christmas. I shopped, ate a little fast food, had a trip to Disneyland, Angels game, spent time with family and friends, and shopped some more.

Thanks to all you ladies for keeping my spirits up during my trip and making me see all the good that I have in my life and to stop complaining.

 I have been back here in Mx for two weeks now and it is like I never left. Being able to go right back into routine here in the house was an easier adjustment this time but I think some changes are coming soon. Before I left for my trip Javi was given a new position at his work, well it offers more money than what he was receiving but he is much more miserable. He is in pain everyday and cant completely bend his fingers. We thought the raise he would be getting would make it worth all the hours and hard work but it is not working out that way. I am actually waiting for him to come home one morning and say that's it today was my last day. He has been talking a lot about selling clothes or opening up a papeleria. I think it would be a good change for him and it would be something we could do together. It would be nice to see him for more than 2 or 3 hours a day and weekends. It is a little scary thinking about him quiting and starting all over with something we have never done before. I can only pray that it works out and that we are making the right decisions. If not I have been thinking of some other options that we might have to look into.

I will keep you guys updated on the job front and will be posting my monthly questions that I have not been keeping up with. I will be leaving you with a few photos of my trip back to the states, until next time.

All I could say was Yes! Yes! Yes!

Hey everyone I know last time I said that I said changes were coming. Well this weekend they did, It just wasn't the kind I was thinking of.

Sunday afternoon Javi and I decided we wanted to take his parents out to eat at a restaurant for Mother's / Father's day. So everyone got dressed up and we went to eat at a place close to the lake nearby. My cunada and the kids tagged along and it was nice enjoying something different and new with them. We were all having a nice time and enjoying our meal, the food was Delicious, Javi had steak and shrimp and I had some steak fajitas. Everything was super yummy and we started packing up our food to go when the waiter brought me a little surprise before we left.......

I tried very hard to put the video here on the blog but all I could do was paste the link so please click

Sunday dinner video

So if you clicked the link you saw how Javi proposed to me this weekend!!! EEkkk I am super excited. I could not wait to share this with all of you and my family. Javi has always introduced me as his wife here in Mx, but now after 5.5 years its time to make it official.Yeahh!!!!

The cards have been dealt

I have been here for almost two weeks now and it took a little over a week for me to stop looking for moscos 24/7.  It has been great catching up with friends and spending time with my family but, it does not feel the same to me anymore. Coming back to the home that me and Javi thought we would be starting our lives in. For the most part I try not to let it bug me but it makes me sad sometimes.  I am so grateful that my mom and dad are taking care of it for us and that we had a place for them to go when they lost their own home, but.....

Besides that it took me awhile to get used to doing things around here again, the American way. Taking a shower with hot water without having to wait for the boiler to heat up, and how powerful the water came out like a massage( Not so hard to get used to). Doing laundry, washed and dried in less than an hour (nice if you are in a hurry), but doing laundry is one thing I don't mind doing, weird I know, but I love hanging my clothes up on the line.

I have to say I was so excited to go out shopping every day and eat fast food. I have been out shopping a few days my first week and purchased things that were needed for my trip back for us and the family, but then I would put stuff back and feel guilty for wanting to buy things I  really don't need. I have been living without all this "stuff" for the last five months. It kind of took the fun out of it knowing that I would be spending all this money and Javi is back home working everyday and trying to save what little he is making. It was great going in to walmart and target, but it is all the same, everything is so commercialized. Every store looks the same, has the same products and I have to say I have only eaten fast food 2 or 3 times. I have not had a craving for anything since I have been here. My favorite used to be spicy chicken sandwiches from jack, I have not stopped at a Jack in the box once since I arrived.

My last little rant, the traffic. Oh how I did not missing driving here in the 24/7 traffic. It is horrible, it takes twice as long to get somewhere as it should and the drivers.  I know people are bad in Mx and mostly because they are not taught like we are. Here is a whole different story. We are showed what is right and wrong, courtesy and road rules. Knowing this it just pisses me off even more because people are so rude and have no common sense or courtesy. I have been in almost three accidents since I have been here just because people think they own the road and everything else.

I know I am very lucky to have been born in this country, for all the freedoms I have had, the luxuries, trips I have taken with my family and I am very grateful. Even knowing this I am also very thankful for this new life I have been led to. Somewhere were I can appreciate all that I had growing up, but to find out that I did not need everything I once thought I did, and that there are more important things in life than what I once believed. I never once in my life thought that I would be living in another state, let alone another country. I never wanted to look at this change as a bad thing, and I still don't. I think all these life changes and lessons are only turning me into a better person. These are the cards that have been dealt and I want / have to believe its gonna be a good hand.
