Taco, Burrito...

Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone!  I hope you had a festive day full of tacos, beans and salsa! 

Well I did it, I finished cutting my hair this morning and I am much more happy with the results. 

a new art form

I had the opportunity to skype with some important women in my life- Roxanne, Lindsay, Tara, Amy and my Mom.  I miss having my friends and family around and it hit me hard today.  I mean really you could live anywhere- but it’s when the people you love and care about that aren’t down the road anymore that makes it extra hard. 

The afternoon did not go as we had hoped- misjudging distance, and time.  Basically trying to do too many things at once- but the evening helped to redeem it. 

We did receive a nice card from my Aunt Laura and Uncle Steve today.  My Aunt Laura is always good about writing a letter with the card- though it sometimes takes a little bit to read her writing J But my favorite line from the letter (well there was a lot but this one stood out):

“Shell- any luck landing a JOB?  I can’t believe nobody recognizes the value of a good ol’ Midwest gal.”

yeah my Aunt Laura is pretty sweet!

Josh and I made our tacos and brought dinner to the sky deck to eat and enjoy.  It was really nice to sit outside and look at the beautiful scenery while eating a taco- yum!    We also were able to hit the hot tub before coming back down. 

We continued our Marvel marathon with the watching of Thor.   Personally, out of the four main avengers- Iron Man and Hulk are my fav.

Thankful for: tacos- mmmm my absolute favorite meal!

Well I am missing all of you a lot.  You can pray for me in making new friends.  It is a task that seems to prove itself difficult for me- especially when I know I have my GOOD friends back home. 

Buenos noches amigos!
