February 2009, already!

So, the first month of the year is gone. I can't believe it. Everyday we get older and everyday presents us with something new. God has so many surprises in store for us! He is the real Santa all year long..I mean, He loves us so much that we are going to have a surprise every day of our living life. This weekend was good. Edgar and I went to LA, had fun on Friday night dancing the night away at a place called "L" on Sunset, it was free and the bar tenders were nice and the music was off the hook! It was House music. I danced the night away with complete strangers on the small dim dancefloor. The nice thing about house music is that it does not matter if you dance alone, you are somehow making that connection with the DJ who is connecting with you to continue his spins on the floor. In addition, there was a singer along with the DJ (a first) she was amazing! Her voice was so cool and she sang to her album and walked around the dancefloor pumping us up, it was such good energy. We danced until the last song, until the lights at "L" went on bright, until the DJ stopped the music! Edgar really like the vibe, and told the singer that she rocked...she thanks us graciously and told me to come back with that energy on the dancefloor. House music is so amazing and peaceful!

On Saturday morning we went to breakfast with my mom and had our usual fix of chilaquiles verdes at Don Chentes. We then headed on a quick trip to Long Beach to visit the Villa-Quinteros. We love them. We all mesh so well. Lilly is a sweetheart, Jorge (my LBCC college buddy) is our hermano, and their babies,,,oh their babies! Just beautiful! Isabella is 2 and ever so so cute! And Sophia is about 6 months, chunky and cute as a button. I held her and we were so comfortable with eachother. Edgar and I always look forward to seeing them because, they are true good friends. Simple and hard working. Isabella showed us her "casita" a cool motor home that they bought for travelling. I know that Jorge loves to travel, and I am glad Lilly loves it too. So every time we go visit them or see them, they always give us a gift. That is just the nicest thing anyone could ever do, but I always have to wonder why?


After the Villa-Q's ,we went to pick up my mom and headed to the other end of L.A. in Pasadena...it was a crazy drive. And I guess that is why we sometimes won't tell people we are going to L.A., we simply can't visit everyone. And we end up getting home extremely exhausted. But visiting family is good. We have to. And we want to. We love getting a doseage of pure love from our nieces and nephews. Especially Valerie, the baby...she is too cute! Green eyes and all..that little rascal! And, I know that Edgar needs to be updated on issues concerning the family. Like his dad, it looks like all those years of chain smoking finally caught up to him, he has been detected with some kind of cancer. I think that some of this also has to do with life. Edgar is still very hurt over the way his dad treated him all those years after his mom died. The one person that could have made a difference in Edgar's life, destroyed it and humiliated him on top of it. I pray that Edgar can forgive his dad and continues to live a life full of love with me and his future children. I know Edgar will be a wonderful dad. So, that is the latest news with his family. And of course, the rest of the time, we talk about Mariana's Quincian~era. The food, the hall, the date change, the decorations, the dresses etc..And of course, we never come to any full agreements or conclusions. I can just see us working hard that last month before everything happens. And, in reality, that is the way it all works!

My mom sits alongside the Bautistas and is entertained. She loves to hang out with Edgar's sisters and listen to them. They love my mom and she loves them. And we sometimes get news that they only confide in my mom to tell her.

That's all folks, til next time...
