Dinner on Thursday

My friend Erin came over on Thursday, she's doing a Daniel fast so we cooked whole wheat pasta, green beans, salad and potatoes. Wow when you read it it doesn't sound healthy, but it really was and we had a great time talking and laughing.

My friends have been teaching me different recipes, Erin taught me to make baked rosemary potatoes and I loved them. Thank you for teaching me, love you!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Pool Mamma and Pool Poppa. They are the best, visiting them in Palm Springs is the most relaxing time, you get to swim, watch fun shows, laugh at the most random conversations and eat the best Jewish sandwiches in the world. We love you both and we are exciting to come visit this weekend and say Happy Birthday in person.

Ps. How cool is it that they have the same birthday?

I don't want you to take a picture Jo!

Today we ran errands, watched the men who stare at goats, K went to class, I went to a jewelry party and then hung out with girlfriends and now we are home. K didn't want to be in pictures today so that's why his only picture is that one, crazy man!!

Rain or no rain

K and I went to Point Loma after a great morning with friends for lunch. We had been to this little bread place once before and for some odd reason K remembered it this morning and decided we had to go back. I am really glad he felt that way, I love their sandwiches, they are so fresh and good. We shared a turkey sandwich with sun dried tomatoes, avocado, lettuce and blue cheese and it was fantastic.

On a different note the weather forecast said it was going to rain in SD, and it did in the morning but by the time we went to lunch it was all dried up and sunny. I still had my awesome umbrella with me so the umbrella did it's debut in the blog!

Our gorgeous friend Courtney had her 22nd birthday today, she is just so cute and she has a little baby in her belly so celebrating was super exciting since she got to her her baby's heartbeat today. Her and her husband were so happy to have a healthy baby, can you think of a better birthday gift? Anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Courtney!

Gray Sunday

San Diego was a bit gray today, but I love it, it reminds me of home and it allows for me to wear the clothes I would wear in Bogota. Husband and I went to church today, we were helping with the kids today, we do it once a month and I must be honest we had a great time this morning. Tomorrow is our day off together so we are excited for a date day and to hang out with friends. This week is going to be great, I know it!

Willie got married

My dad got married, he had been believing God had a great wife for him for years, and like always God came through and dad married the most amazing woman. To make it all more fun and incredible he also got a new son, and I got a new brother, Julian (in the fourth picture) is the sweetest boy, and my sister (in the fifth picture) and I are excited to have another brother!

Congrats dad!

Hard without shoes

K and I went down to Ralph's to get groceries for apple and brie soup. We are pretty excited to make the soup but more than that we were excited to be a part of Tom's day without shoes here are the pictures of our adventure!

Shorts and a day without shoes

San Diego was warm yesterday (and today!), I had to run a few errands and I was on a bike so I decided shorts it is. I didn't take pictures until K got home from work around 11 so once again the pictures were taken in our living room.

In other non-related news, today is Tom's one day without shoes if you didn't join one of their walks, take your shoes off, take a walk, take a picture and tweet with #hardwithoutshoes. Our pictures will come later today!

Space Makeovers Video

Remember the Space Makeovers? Well a great girl who has worked on videos for Invisible Children helped us put this video together. Thank you so much to all who helped, it truly was an amazing day and we are still seeing the fruits of your support.

Food Revolution

So my friend Alayna would not stop about Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. A new show about a British chef that went to America's unhealthiest city and started a food revolution with the school district and some families. She loves to cook and even though I do too I thought it was a food show she was texcited about but I wouldn't like. But then 3 more people told me about it and one of my favorite bloggers wrote about it and I kept hearing about this Jamie Oliver dude. So last night K and I watched an episode and we loved it so much we had to watch the next one. The show is really good, it prompts you to action, it makes you not only want to raise healthy children but also start a revolution somewhere, K and I wanted to go out and start something! Extra bonus; when the show is over you can't help but talk with a British accent, need I say more? go to Hulu and watch it, you will love it.

Ps. Alayna I am sorry we didn't listen in the first place, we will trust your judgment from now on
