By the end of the night, it was all a blur...

To my Child

Someone e-mailed this to me and everytime I read it, it reminds me how blessed I am...:)

Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is.
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.
Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.

I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.
And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day.............

Tavo's Wedding

We went to Piedras Negras this past weekend for my cousin Tavo's wedding.

Our trip began on Friday and once we crossed the border we met up with the groom (Tavo) and he took us to a Hotel his friend works at. Although the room was kinda creepy (like the movie "Vacancy") we ended up getting a great deal! Afterward we chilled at my Tia Chelos house. We chowed down on some bean tamales followed by some ice cold TECATES! Oh Yeah! They went down nicely. And YES...we each had our own bottle!!! lol Check out the size of those things!!!Ofcourse mom kept praying for me as she watched me drink saying, "Ay Dios mio" or "Diosito Santo!" She even started calling me by my middle name saying, "No tomes mucho DOLORES!" That night we hung out with the groom in the room and continued drinking our Tecates. After that was out we sipped on some Vodka and Fresca Toronja or Tequila Hornitos Plata and Fresca Toronja. Those drink were the bomb! Bro claims he don't remember anything past 12:00! lolEthan ended up falling asleep which meant the party was over for me. The other freaks went out into the night walking down the main street. I heard the next morning that they had walked too far from the Hotel so their Mexican asses had to all fit into a taxi to get back!!!! 4 Big guys and 1 girl! I would of loved to have seen that! Saturday we woke up looking for breakfast and we stopped by the Plaza on the way. Ethan enjoyed it! We went to the Mercado to eat breakfast and afterwards we went looking around for bargains! My goal was to find a "frauda" (prada) or a "cooch" (coach) purse but I had no luck...So we went back to the Hotel (ta na na na naaaa) and took a nap. Woke our broke ass up and went back to Tia Chelos house for more tamales. This time we had cheese, chicken and beans! Soooo yummy! Oh and more Tecate's! jiji My sister had just made it in from Houston so we took her back to the hotel (ta na na na naaaa) to get settled in. Got ready and went to my cousin Tavo's wedding. Before the ceremony actually began there was some sort of parade going on...It was obviouse they were praising the Virgin Mary but I don't know the details of the event. Anyway, it was awesome to watch! Here is a short video...

The wedding ceremony was of couse BEAUTIFUL! The reception/dance was at a park (out doors). It was fancy yet a little wild at the same time!!! lol It really was unlike any other wedding I had been to. I think the "fancy" part of it was her and the "wild" part was all him!

This is a horrible picture of me but I wanted to show what I meant by "wild". Look at the people behind us...I'm not sure when but at one point in the trip my son went streaaaaaaking down the hotel hallway!!!Sunday morning came and we were back on the road heading to H-Town!!! Amazing how time flies!

We had a great time but it wasn't the same without her (my aunt)...
