No Mavs!!

On Thursday evening, since I was in Big Spring for work, I stopped by and visited my Grandma for a while. We even watched the Spurs and the Mavs play, and we were both into it. Although my grandma is a Mavs fan, we still had a great time. I thought she looked so cute all comfortable on the couch watching the game :)
So glad the spurs won...Go Spurs Go!!

28 years young

On April 17, I turned 28. I don't feel old at all, but I realize that I only have 2 more years to be in my 20s. I have so many goals that I'd like to accomplish before 30 so I gotta get on the ball. Among my goals my top 3 are:
1) Lose weight ( I've got to motivate myself)
2) Save money
3) Pay off most of my school loans

So, my birthday went very well. Many friends and family sent cards, called, text, or facebooked and as always it's such a great feeling. My little sisters and cousin got me a birthday cake of course with candles, it was very sweet. And I made a great big wish (I'll let u know when it comes true).


Starting Young

When Jerika was visiting a couple weeks ago, I was on the lap top and she was very curious. I placed the lap top on the floor, and played videos of babies. Oh Jeri loved it! It was the cutest thing. She laughed at the videos and when they were over she just looked around as if asking for help to replay.
Cute, Cute!


Putt putt with the Oldies

LOL, well I kept giving my mom and uncle a hard time about not being able to putt putt, and BOTH of them beat me! Of course I played it off that I was giving them a chance to feel good about themselves, but in reality they're pretty good or maybe just lucky (cuz I refuse to believe it's me that isn't good). After that we hit a few balls, and I must say that I was the best at that :). YES!!!





Serrando el ojo

A few weeks ago my grandma had cataract surgery. It went well and she said she was feeling great. At 9:00 pm after we put drops in her eyes, my grandma HAD to see her novela.
Doesn't she make Cataract Surgery look good?

TSHA

This year the Speech Language Therapy Convention in Texas (TSHA- Texas Speech and Hearing Association) was in Ft. Worth. It lasts 3 days, so me and a couple of co workers left Wednesday afternoon and came back Saturday night. We had a great time. I've only worked for ECI for a couple of months, so it was great getting to know each other.
THE main reason that I wanted to go to TSHA was to see my grad school friends!! I miss them so much. After seeing them (almost) everyday for 2 years, it's crazy not seeing each other anymore. Out of the class of 22, I saw about half so I was very excited about that. I'm glad that we get the opportunity to meet up at least once a year. I love them all!
We always start the convention with a Intro Speaker, in the past we've had The Horse Whisper, Templin Grindin and this year we had Dr. Patch Adams!! He was so awesome. I have never seen the movie but have been wanting to. He basically travels the world, to tragedies or dying/sick patients (like children dying in orphanages) and makes them laugh. He had me laughing then crying then laughing (probably not hard to believe if you know me well enough). He shared with us that he's been a physician for 30+ years, but a clown much longer than that. Dr. Adams is looking for a world where love will no longer be extraordinary, and he thinks that the role of a clown and a physician are the same: "to elevate the possible and to relieve suffering. He's whole speech was great, moving and motivating!

The nieces (and fam)

I'm so far behind on my blogging.
Here are some pictures of my nieces/family from Spring Break. We had a great time going to the Rattle Snake Roundup, Zoo, and just hanging out at home :).
