Backtrack to this weekend

Friday night we had a costume party. We were all supposed to dress up as a character from a movie, but it expanded a little bit. It was very interesting to see how far people would go for a party and who people decide to be. I think it sheds some light on people's personality. There are pictures of this, it is pretty funny. Then early Saturday morning the Graf family and Katelyn and I left for the States. We got across the border in about four hours and proceeded to spend the rest of the day until about 7 shopping for things that are more easily found in the States. Then that night I stayed with the kids while Dan and Carey went out on a date. It was very nice to have carpet and an oven (ours at the Quinta is broken). So, I made some cookies and a frozen pizza for dinner. It was a great night of relaxing. Then on Sunday morning we all went to Palm Valley Church in McAllen, TX. It was nice to have sermon in English after many in Spanish. Then we did some more shopping and headed back home. It was nice to be in the States for awhile, but Monterrey has definitely become home, and where I live, not the US, at least for now. It was great to realize that this is home now.
