Woody

Matthew was Woody from Toy Story.

He was the most evil Woody ever....

complete with don't hold my hand mommy...don't touch my hat mommy....don't touch and no pictures!

I know now that he will go as a Devil next year!

Three long weeks

Camilo leaves tomorrow at 2:00 in the morning for three weeks. He is only going to the big island of Hawaii...buuuuut still.
Me and Matthew have some stuff planned..beach, zoo, aquarium and movies. I don't think we will be totally bored.
I talked with Aunt today and I had no idea how out of touch I was with the family. She got hit by a car in May....I had no idea. My cousin Tanya is pregnant (six months) I had no idea. I think I got the hint that I need to call home more..haha.
My mom is coming out here for Christmas and I am so excited! This will be the first Christmas that I have spent with her in like eight years. Usually we went to Camilo's house in Jersey for Christmas because it was closer to Virginia and we went to my house for Thanksgiving (since thanksgiving really isn't a Colombian thing). And the past two years we stayed here on the Island because it is so much cheaper than flying home. Plus there is something special about wearing flip flops and swimsuits in December. :)

Scary Sunday

I thought I was dreaming this morning when there was this horrible rumbling sound and a lot of shaking going on. Seriously scary stuff.
I grabbed Matthew and immediately started packing some things to prepare for the worst..like a tsunami. The hardest part was that the power was out shortly after the earthquake and nobody knew what the hell was going on. We had to sit in our cars in order to get information..cell phones weren't working. It was insane.

But we made the best of it. We grilled eggs on the grill at 7:30 with our neighbors, later we cooked hamburgers for lunch and steak for dinner. It was one big grilling day since our freaking power was out for more than 12 hours. But it was an interesting day and one that I will most likely not forget for a long time. Yes and one of my neighbors started drinking at 8:00....I know that the church service that was going on across the street and was forced to sit outside were thinking that we were all a bunch of hellions. We deemed today earthquake party 06.

Wild Saturday

It was a crazy weekend on our street. Camilo had a get together with his Marines Friday...we cooked out, drank and we were all serenaded by two mexicans and a Colombian...good times. Saturday my neighbors had a party. It is a really good thing they live right next to us. I had four martinis...and I was pretty buzzed. I kept spilling my drink on me, the floor..pretty much everywhere. But my neighbors were completely drunk...they were the first ones to pass out before anyone even left. Hilarious..good times!


The really nice thing was that after they passed out....we all cleaned their house so they wouldn't have to wake up to a messy house the next day...

I'm sure they were very appreciative. :)
