Trains, Parties, & Remodeling!
Wow this last week has been a crazy busy one! We left on Tues for our vacation, we've been having an absolute blast! Our train ride was perfect (minus being almost 6 hours late to our destination!). Mia was awesome the whole ride, not one problem! We had lunch in the dining car and stuck around the sight seeing car a bit but for the most part we stuck to our seats since we had room for 6 and there were only 3 of us, it made for a comfy ride. It was nice to finally get here and sleep in a real bed though!
Once we got here we stayed at my uncles house for couple days waiting for the big surprise party!!! We did a little last minute shopping and spent time with our family we rarely get to see. Finally Friday got here, we were really late getting out the door but we made it to the party just before the guests of honor showed up thanks to my Tia's crazy Mexico driving!!! We walked in and were in AWE, the place was nothing we had imagined it would be, it was absolutely STUNNING! My mom started crying immediately, to her the price was expensive, but surely worth every penny! Everything was decorated in gold and creme colors, with balloons, beautiful real gold table settings, tulle hung from the ceiling, ahhh it was breathtaking!!! At last the guests of honor walked in, having no clue what was going on, immediately they were shocked, they couldn't believe mom and I had gone through all the trouble to get ALL of our family in one spot at the same time, it was amazing, a moment I will never forget. Everyone's eyes filled up with tears watching their faces full of happiness and joy. They were truly surprised, they both swelled up with tears and were just in awe...it was simply perfect! The party lasted for hours on end...saying hello to family I haven't seen in years, trying to communicate in my best 'spanglish' since the majority of them don't speak English. It certainly helped me brush up on some of my first language! Considering I didn't speak ANY English until I was FIVE and all I grew up knowing was Spanish and now I barely know any, well, other than some slang words haha! Anyhow the night was amazing and I have pictures to show later!
Today Mom and I revealed our gift to the guests of honor, we started tearing through the living room and did a complete remodel!!! Two years or so ago we remodeled their kitchen, it was in horrible shape and needed it BAD! Today was INSANE to say the least, we started breaking down walls, tearing out windows, did some re-framing, we put up new sheet rock, spackeled like crazy, painted and cleaned up the entire place! It looks great now! Not that it looked bad before, it was more old and beaten and battered though and definitely needed a face lift! Tomorrow we plan on tackling the bathroom which is going to be an even bigger task since we are moving the shower and putting a linen closet where the old shower is now...it should be rather interesting...since it's just mom and I doing it! I'm glad that we can come here though and help them so they have nothing to worry about as far as home repairs, and help them have a more comfortable place to live all together!
Tonight when we got back to my uncles I got the best news ever! My best friend is coming home, I'm absolutely DYING to see him, it's been about 7 months since he left and I'm extremely stoked he is coming home now instead of December!!! I cannot wait to have him to call again when I need a ear to listen to all my crazy drama or a shoulder to cry on, he's the most amazing man I know and I know my little girl and I are very blessed to have him in our lives! I've missed him so much this tour and I just cannot wait to have my best bud back!!!
I will try and post again before we get home, no promises though, we have so much to do in such a short time...
