After 28 years, I'm going to make it to Mexico!


I realize I've been bad about updating this lately, but we've had about a thousand things up in the air lately...namely, me. For those of you who have been to our house, you know that our yard is ugly. It's ok, we know too...it's been ugly since the day we bought the house. This year we've finally started the "improvements." We had our sprinkler system updated, removed two dead trees in the back yard, and are getting ready to hydroseed! We've had a series of circumstances the past two weeks (long story that there's not time for now) that resulted in Seth and I working our tails off to try to get things ready last weekend. Yes, the first rainy weekend in 6 months! :)


Anyway, we didn't quite get there...but we have the hydroseeding guy coming by tomorrow to evaluate our progress and tell us what we have left to do. We're racing the clock a bit since we have a big tree who's leaves are getting more yellow by the day....but we'll get there. We cleared 60+ bags of lawn waste last weekend, so even if we get stuck waiting until fall, we're SO CLOSE!


We might have gotten it done this week, except I'm in Texas! I was sent to McAllen this week for work...and it's a new place for me. I knew it was close to Mexico, but I had no idea how close....10 miles! So far, in my 28 years of life, my only international travel has been to Canada. Now, I'm going to make it to Mexico! Not that a border town is going to be the most glorious place, but my client and I just want to go down to take pictures at the "Welcome to Mexico" sign...or whatever that is in Spanish, and eat something. Don't worry, we won't drink water! Ole!

If you get a chance, see if you can make it to a Donkey Show while you are down in Mexico.
