Well thats what I was hoping, but I am having to start over with the job search. . . Super frustrated. But looking at these pics gives me a bit of refresh and more energy to keep kicking. So getting over myself and promise to get back to normal writing soon. =)
In the mean time, here are pics from our jaunt to the Caribbean. Enjoy!!

| michael and gene are in ahhh (aka bored) by the girl fiesta we are having for mari's birthday morning. both of the boys commented and how amazed they were about how much work went to for each other. said they didn't have any friends that would do the silly things we did (barbi cake, yogurt parfait like le pain quotidiens etc). it was so much fun. =) thanks michael and gene for putting up with the fiesta. |
