Happy Times

We went to Mexico for the weekend. D's mom and sister came along. It was time for both families to meet. (Aaahhhhhhhhh!!!! I was so nervous!!!!!)

My mother was throwing me a shower on Saturday morning and my good friend D and her husband were also throwing another party on Saturday evening. And everything went great. I was indeed very nervous because I was traveling with David, and his mother and sister who left her family back home and I was concerned about Mexico, and safety, etc., etc., etc. But everything turned out beautifully.

First of all, David. He is so precious, he is just amazing. He calms me down, he is always very positive, he plays along, he says Yes to every one of my resquests, he is so tender, and loving; it was just a dream to have him there with me. When I showed him the wedding invitations, he got all excited in his own way, went speechless, and gave me a big hug.

Second, the families. D's mom and sister were wonderful. They were able to adapt to everything and deal with the different language, and just be there with us and be happy for us. My family was also great. Even my dad who, although not happy about D and I living together, was in his best behavior. My parents are so, so, so generous. The shower was just beautiful! It was very nice. Unfortunately, one of my brothers was not able to be there with us and my grandpa is not doing that well... That was a little bit sad.

Third, my friends back home. D and her husband threw this amazing party with Messsican music, and amazing food,and champagne, and a wedding cake with a bride and groom dolls on top! It was just unbelievable... It was so nice, it was really nice... It was very special that D and his family were there to see all this love.

And then we had to come home. I wish I could have everything in the same place: Austin, my family, my friends, my nephew, etc. But not. I am here in austin in front of my computer reading blogs and writing one when I should be working. So, let me get back to my work keeping in mind that the operative word now is ENJOY! That's it.... just enjoy these happy times.

Your trip and showers sound wondeful! I am so glad you are enjoying the whole wedding theme. And that is great that D's family got along well with yours, I know how nerve recking that is to not know if it will work out.
I'm very happy for you!! : )
