Westi saves the day! Mom’s Day, that is …

This entry was posted in Diary, Family, Photos on by .

Mom asked for pictures of Westi’s house for Mother’s Day and well, that is what she’s getting. I had something else up my sleeve but I spent too long tearing up the house looking for my passport in anticipation of making Costa Rica a reality (thank you Mom and Dad!), and I didn’t get it done. (Didn’t find my passport either.) But Westi sent pictures and saved the day. Their new house is very beautiful and oh-so-close to us. And, as Westi has mentioned more than once, she has a spare room for when you come to visit, Mom. Enjoy the pictures and have a wonderful Mother’s Day. Wish we were close enough to spend it with you.

¡Felicitaciones, Michele!

Ok, now I look bad … not only does my little brother have a Doctoral degree by my BABY sister has her Masters. And I’m (blissfully) taking undergrad classes at a community college. Sigh… now I feel old AND underachieving! Oh well, I’ll take my inspiration from you, Michele… I just picked my fall classes … more algebra, java programming and … (here’s the inspiration part) Spanish. Probably not this summer to Costa Rica but maybe someday we can travel and practice together, Michele. First, I have a lot of catching up to do.

So again, congratulations, Michele. I’m glad you finally figured out what the rest of us knew all along … you’ll be a profesor increíble!

ps. Dad should be able to download pictures at your house as long as he has the mini-usb cable along with him.
