Sunday May 24th : Had people over at the house after church for ice cream cake…Nelly made me not one but two ice cream cakes! They were delicious…brownie, peanut butter icing, recee’s pieces, and ice cream all coexisting in one cake!!! I ended up eating ice cream cake everyday for a week!
Monday May 25th (my actual birthday): Spent time with my family! We went out to lunch and then out to a Mexican ice cream shop…does anyone know what the flavor “chongos” taste like? I didn’t until that day, it’s great! I also went to the movies with my sis, Night at the Museum!
Tuesday May 26th: Yea, I thought my birthday was over…but it wasn’t! I got my first delivery at work ever!!! A few of my friends got together and got me an Edible Arrangement! It was the best fruit ever!!! Also, another one of my co-workers made me the most delicious chocolate coconut cake cookies! That was the best day at work I’ve ever had!!!
Yes…a whole week of celebration! Now that’s how it’s done!
-Sunday May 31st : Fiddler on the Roof!!!!!!! It was like a dream…except it was for real!
June Update
-Took a summer class…that was intense, but I got though it! It was a great class, the last day most of us went out for dinner with our professor! I really like this whole grad school business…well at least that’s the feeling for now.
-I went to the Dynamo vs Chivas USA game and discovered that my cousin plays for the Chivas USA. His name is Gerson Mayen…ok…ok…fine…he’s not really my cousin, but I think it’s pretty cool that we have the same last name!
- Watched the US vs Egypt game! US won…bummer…hehehe. It made me miss all my wonderful Masry friends!
-Went to see/hear the Houston Symphony for the very first time…it was beautiful!
July Update (all 6.5 days of it…well I guess I can write about what I’m looking forward to in July as well)
-I just got a postcard from FRANCE today from one of my co-workers!!! C’est fantastique! Je l’amie beaucoup! J’aime la France, je veux y aller un jour…peut etre l’annee prochaine? Je ne sais pas, mais je veux y aller !
-Went to Wimberley, TX with my lifegroup from church for the 4th of July weekend. I had a great time there, Nelly and I got up super early on Saturday and went up the prayer mountain. It was beautiful! I love being high above everything else going on and just getting away. I also had a great time spending time with friends and getting to know them better.
Break: While I was there some people decided it would be funny to put sun block on David’s face while he was sleeping…then we woke up and they blamed it on me, which provoked him to seek revenge and pour sun block on my feet while I was sleeping! Contrary to popular belief, I am not always the one to pull the pranks…just saying.
-I started taking a Salsa Dance class on Thursdays! The first lesson was great and I can’t wait for the next one! I’m totally going to be a pro! Ok, maybe not a pro, but I will definitely get better!
-I’m going to start going to some Swing Dance lessons too! Ohhhhh…I’m excited!
-I’m going to The Phantom of the Opera later this month!!!
-I’m leaving on a jet plane…maybe not a jet plane as much as an airplane, but the fact of the matter is…is that I’m going to Japan and Korea at the end of the month! I leave July 31st! Sayonara!!!! I can’t wait to see my friends! Watch out Yui and Hee Young!!!
That’s it for now. I want to put some pics on here, but my computer is sick at the moment. Perhaps in a little while I will, but I think I’ve said that before and have never actually gone back to add the pics…oops!
God is good! All the time! All the time! God is good!
Praise Him! If we don’t the rocks will! Do you really want to be outdone by a rock?!?!?
