Why is it...

That the day we are back home i get sick....
Ugh yesterday morning i was fine. I got up and unpacked the truck since we got in so late. Took the truck up and washed it and cleaned it out and took my memory card to walgreens to get the pics off of it since Adrian dropped my camera and broke it on the trip. I went to see some friends and then about 2 pm i started getting a headache. So i come home and it gets worse i was in bed all night last night and up all night with it. I go to the doctor today and I have a sinus infection. Yay.

I'm back...

But very sad and lonely without my honey. We had a good trip it was fun but it took me forever to get used to things. I feel like i finally started getting used to things when we were leaving. We left Kansas City July 30th. We drove all day and stayed the night in San Antonio, TX. We got up early the morning of the 31st and went down to the Riverwalk and walked along there for a bit then went back to the truck to head on out to Mexico. We finally get to Mexico and go into Nuevo Laredo and change our dollars to pesos and get mexican car insurance for the trip. We leave there and head for the ranch(Doctor Arroyo, Mexico). We get about 20-30 minutes down the road and MExican immigration stops us. Turns out we need a car permit and tourist permits. Duh i guess we should have known that. So we go back to Nuevo Laredo and get all of this taken care of. By this time it is almost 3pm and we werent sure what to do because we werent sure if they were gonna let Chino back into his own country because we forgot to bring his birth certificate! So we decided to stay the night in a SWEET room at the Holiday Inn Express there in Nuevo Laredo and we got to just relax and swim. That night Chino's mom faxed over his birth certificate. So the next morning we were set to go...we make it through Mexican immigration and breathed a sigh of relief. Chino was just getting more and more excited! So FINALLY on August 1st around 5pm we get to his family's ranch house where we were met with a BUNCH of family members. It was a big giant cry fest. But it was sooo exciting. We just hung out that night and caught up and unloaded the truck and relaxed a bit. The next day, Saturday August 2nd, was the day of the quinceanera. So early that morning we went into town to go get stuff like clothes and food, etc for the party. Than we came back and got ready for the party. It was soo cool. Chino's cousin, Selene, who's party it was was sooo beautiful. The party started with a church type service then a bull roping event then back to the ranch for food and a band and dancing. I was exhausted after all that. Then on Sunday morning most of the family left to go back to Monterrey, so it was kinda quiet. We ended up leaving to go to Monterrey on Tuesday morning. It was nice to get back to the city. I am NOT a middle of nowhere type of girl. LOL. We got to Monterrey around 1pm Tuesday and packed everyone up and went to the Parque Espana down the street and went swimming. IT was so fun! Wednesday we really didnt do much except hang out at the house. Thursday Adrian woke up sick and that night we took him to see a doctor where they gave him some meds and a shot. I couldnt even go back and comfort my little boy because i didnt speak enough Spanish. Only Chino could go back with Adrian. Ugh. Friday Adrian seemed to be better but still had diarreah. Saturday was the same. Saturday i was really itching to get out of the house and go somewhere so we went to this area that had a bunch of shops and they had a McDonalds! LOL We ate at McDonalds and then went shopping for a bit. We got back home and started getting ready for our trip home the next day. Sunday morning we got up...loaded up and headed to Nuevo Laredo to cross the border. Chino and his mom went as far as they could with us then we had to say goodbye. That was probably the hardest moment of my life. Knowing i had to leave my honey in a different country and not knowing when or how he would be getting back. I was balling and so was he. I finally had to let him go and we got int he truck and continued in line to cross the border. It took all i had not to turn back around and stay there. So we get to the border and they make us go to a different line and take out all of our luggage and inspect it all and bring a dog in to smell everything. Good thing i didnt try to smuggle Chino in one of my suitcases . Dont get me wrong..it was a thought but i wouldnt ever do it as much as i wanted to. So of course everything was fine we load back up and continue on our 2 day drive home. I am glad to be home but everything here reminds me of Chino. I want him back so bad. I am even going so far as to thinking about going back down there....

BY the way as soon as i sort out all the pics i will add them in a post....there are a ton...

It's official...

We are potty-training!! Adrian went potty 2 times on the potty today! Woo hoo!!

2 days......

Til we go to Mexico....part of me is excited and part of me is freaking out..traveling and me dont go very good...if i am away from my comfort zone it kinda freaks me out. I am excited for Chino to go back to his country and see his family. I am excited for Adrian to meet his grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc,etc. I am excited to see a different country and say that i have been there. But most of me is soooo scared. I hate it but i also have it lingering in my mind that Chino won't be coming home with us. Ugh! Maybe I should just stay there?? At least til he can get back...i dont know if I could handle living there full time. But i guess I jst need to get over it and go with it. We are leaving at 4am Wednesday morning and stopping in San Antonio, TX to stay the night and then headed early Thursday morning to Monterrey, Mexico. We will be stopping there for a little bit then heading to Doctor Arroyo, Mexico to Chino's family's ranch. I will have tons of pics and we are taking a laptop so i will try to be online when i can.
