Aww, Congratulations Zuly and Vik!
One of our close friends turned the big 3-0 and his sweet wife threw him a surprise party!
Jorge has class on Tuesday nights, so his wife Melissa had planned for both of their parents to go over to their house after his class was finished for a nice birthday dinner. I think he was hoping to have a small dinner with friends the weekend after to celebrate. Little did he know that she had been planning a surprise party for him! He says he knew before he went to class, (earlier the same day) because he came home after work to find that the fridge was empty…if Melissa was cooking dinner for their parents, she would have had the fridge stocked with the dinner ingredients. That afternoon, before he came home she took everything over to her parents to prepare so he wouldn’t see it. But I think he was definitely surprised when he walked in the door to find all of us there! You be the judge, here’s the video:
The group started singing happy birthday right before I shut the camera off- DANG! But you get the idea (;
The night was filled with great friends, delicious food (tacos, chips, salsa, and tres leches), beer-ritas (beer + margaritas) and they even had mariachis in the living room! We had so much fun getting the party favors and the house ready, even though we had to get a little creative because it had been raining all day. Originally the party was planned to be outside in their backyard (with the grill set up and tables outside) But it was moved inside and their garage converted into a full taco buffet turned out to be the best fiesta….EVER! Thank you Melissa and both of their families and friends for such a fun Tuesday night!
On to the party photos:
Hope you had a great birthday Jorge, and that turning 30 wasn’t too bad ;)
Currently I’m…
Working on: Getting our house a little more organized, even though we are limited with storage space we’ve got to come up with some creative ways to make some! Pintrest, here I come!
Thinking about: It was really nice to see my grandparents last week, they stopped in Houston just to take Mike and I to lunch (Thank you grandma and grandpa again!) Also, thinking about our friends who got engaged over the weekend! Congratulations Vik and Zulema!
Anticipating: To be honest, I’m anticipating getting home today and taking a nap! I went to bed waaaaay too late last night! As for this week, Saturday we have a couples wedding shower for some friends we haven’t seen in too long.
Listening to: Pandora radio, I love it.
Watching: I just finished watching The United States of Tara. Crazy show about a mother that deals with multiple personality disorder (D.I.D) and how her family adapts to her behavior. Of course we are still watching Game of Thrones, we still need to catchup from last weeks episode!
Loving: Spending time at home, with Mike and Zorra. Most days I feel like the world is spinning around me but the weekends have been great, it’s been nice to just relax with them.
Wishing: That time would stop, just for a second. I feel like so much is going on around me with weddings, engagements, showers, graduations, proms, promotions, etc….it would be nice to just have a quick second to catch up and really enjoy these things with the people in my life.
Eating/Drinking: I’m happy to report that I’m still on my smoothie fix. Last week I bought a bunch of fresh fruit and veggies to experiment with different flavors! I’ve discovered a love for kale- this week, I’m going to try and make some kale chips.
Wishing you a happy Monday- What’s new in your world?
