back to normal, I guess

tumble weeds in the side of the road!

Spring brake is over and we (Max and I)did a couple interesting things during that time.
First Max took me for a walk couple evenings, besides feeling as a pet, I truly enjoyed it; the fresh air, stepped hills, and my heart beating faster, it is wonderful to be alive!
Max went for a Hike on Settlement Canyon, He loved it although he was sored for three days!
We had a fire on Friday Night and we took my Max's dad's 4-wheeler to the the desert! A completely different Exploring-Experience.
We rested on Sunday, the Lord's day!
Here some photographs from Saturday!

Myself.

Max testing the camera!

Here Max and the  4-wheeler!

Spring is here.

Spring has officially started officially! wooho!
During the last couple of days Max and I have been doing some fun things.
Last Friday we had a little picnic the both of us with a fire at settlement canyon, it was very fun!
On Saturday we hiked one of the hills behind our home, I personally needed fresh air and exercise, it was great!
Sunday, we stayed home and later in the evening we drove around town.Monday, we both came to Salt Lake to school and work.
Yesterday, we hiked another hill and cooked some curried chicken. Delicious!
Max is running everyday, last week he did very well! He went running 4 days!
This current week is his Spring brake and I know he is having a good time!

Dear posterity,

Last Monday Dad and I, had our interview at the immigration office; we have good news, I am now a permanent resident of the United States. Aunty Kim P. exclaimed in her facebook post "freedom" which it is very true. Hopefully we will visit to Abuelo Checho y Abuelita during this year if all goes well!

Lately, I have been thinking about what are the things that you should know, what character traits I should encourage and how you all would look like!

In other matters, I decided that "determination" is very crucial for one's happiness and I've been lacking it. So this week that starts I have resolved to be more determined and act immediately upon the things I know and the impressions of the Spirit.

Love you all.

Atte. su Mamá.

spring brake is near...

Para el blog del dia de hoy he pensado escribir acerca de la renovada determinacion de Max por ejercitarse todos los dias y sus planes para spring brake. Hasta el momento el itinerario comprende acampar y escalar "Deseret Peak" para ello ya fue el por sus botas de alpinismo, harpones (para caminar/escalar sobre hielo) y pico.
No me cabe de duda de que el programa de television que hemos estado viendo acerca del Monte Everest le ha inspirado. Por  mi parte, he estado pensando en que seria bueno preparar de comer para susodicha empresa; no se me ha ocurrido nada ademas de un buena dotacion de sandwiches y agua.
Veremos que tal!

For today's blog entry I've been thinking in writing about Max's renewed determination to excercise every day and his plans for the upcoming spring brake. The itineray so far is to camp and climb Deseret Peak and he has already got his boots, crampons and axe for such enterprise.

I have no doubt that the show about the Mount Everst we have been watching has inspired him. As far as I am concern I've been thinking in the food; I haven't come up with any idea besides a big ration of sandwiches and water.

We'll see how it goes!

new year's resolutions

algo tiene hablar por telefono ...

El dia de ayer Papa llamo por telefono, lo cual me parecio raro porque por lo general usamos instant messenger, pero aun asi me  dio mucho mucho gusto; hablamos como en los viejos tiempos sobre negocios, inmigracion, y la charla del SEI (Sistema Educativo de la Iglesia). Debo mensionar que Papa es un hombre muy inteligente, espiritual, trabajador, y alegre.
Papa esta emocionado por el trabajo de Max, cuando le platique acerca de las circumstancias (escuela, inmigracion, trabajo) que rodearon nuestra decision de iniciar el trabajo en mayo en vez de marzo, el comprendio cabalmente y anadio que en muchos casos las companias no solo buscan personas capaces de desempenar la tarea asignada sino que buscan personas de caracter y vision en sus vidas.
Por ello creo que mama y papa quieren mucho a Max!


Last night I received a phone call from my Papa, it seemed odd to me that he called instead of using msn, nevertheless it made me happy! We talked like we used to about businesses ideas, my immigration paperwork, and the fireside he just watched. I must say that Papa is smart, spiritual, hard worker, and cheerful man.
Papa is excited about Max's new job, when I told him why we would start on May instead of March he understood completely and added that in most cases companies not only look for capable people they especially seek for people with caracter and vision.
I think Papa y Mama like Max for that!

dear posterity,

Everything is going well over here, Dad (Max) got into the TEXTRON leadership program, we are very excited!We will be moving from Tooele to somewhere in Texas in the first week of May.
Life at home is peaceful, and playful at times. We had our delicious cheese-stuffed bacon-wrapped hot-dogs for dinner last night; we were very hungry. After school, as usual we took the express bus to Tooele, then in our way home we did some errands; stop at D.I. to look for a digital audio cable with not luck that often happens when we go to the D.I. Do you have the same feeling sometimes when you go there?
The next stop was Mayce's grocery store getting some goodies. In the entrance we had a sample of stew that cheered up our empty bellies. We picked up what we needed and checked out.
Right after that we stop at the credit union next door to pay our monthly rent, by then Max was grinning and almost dancing while walking! why? well simply and obvious if you live with Max in a 24/7 basis, he does not like Wal-Mart at all neither big bank corporations. He would tell you that doing business in this places makes him feel guilty knowing that there are little girls in China that work long and hard for a ridiculous wage in order to make us pay less for our stuff. Sad uh!
Well, he was happy doing business in local places without the weight of China, which is a big place and a lot of people, over his shoulders!
We had our dinner, worked on some homeworks, and watched some documentaries on PBS.com (free streaming.)
Remember. brush your teeth thrice a day, and eat vegetables
Love, Mom (Liliana)

Family Home Evening

Before we got married we received many words of counsel from the first counselor from the stake and my bishop of course. One of the advices that sticked in our minds was praying together and having Family Home Evening..
What I remember the most from the Family Home Evenings at my parents' home is the little minute book we had to prepare the lessons. I consider it now a family keepsake full of significant memories.
It was in Family Home Evening that my siblings and I learned about the new little member that was going to become part of our family; Mom and dad told us about it sometime on the spring of 1997 and Rodrigo was born on December 4, that same year. It was funny to see our little brother growing and being part of the Family Home Evening, he became the official greeter and welcoming person. He was so cute!
Before my Brother Paco went on his mission he gave the most spiritual lessons those were beautiful days! 
My sister and I even danced once before everyone just for fun!
Family Home Evening was not always bubbling and pink,in couple occasions it was to discipline and warning everyone from the influences of the world!

Now, in our nucleus Max and I have given priority to this blessing of Family Home Evening. We are still working on making it more homey; with that being said I believe that some sweet goodies, music, and a significant lessons will augment homey-ness!

Family Home Evening is a wonderful opportunity to create family traditions and a tradition indeed.
