Fall is here and Wonderful

It is starting to get chilly here! and the smartie pants I am I only brought summer clothes. I have 2 light jackets, 1 hoodie and a pair of tennis shoes that im not going to wear daily. So if anyone wants to donate money so i can go shopping for warm shoes and clothes it would be appreciated haha.

We had our last class of rockclimbing on Wednesday. My teacher- Milton is soo freaking good.

Me and Miia at La Huasteca National Park where we climb. We are becoming professionals Lol.

Friday night I went to a club- Classico and it was a blast!! We danced and met lots of new fun friends. Me and Claire

On Saturday night I went with some friends from my institute class to the fair! We went on like 3 rides and then went to dinner. Juan carlos, Pancho and Eli

Eli and Pancho are HILARIOUS and never pay when they ride the buses- they just play music and people give them change. This is how they make money.

Sunday was a great day! We had the Primary Program in my ward and since Im a teacher I was up there singing with them and helping them. They are soo cute and did a great job! My ward is great. Then I ate dinner at the Cottrells house and got to call home. It was soo fun talking to you guys and I wish I could more often. Im thankful for the Cottrell Family. I love them!

That night I went to Santa Lucia and Parque Fundidora (a parkway) with Eli, Lazaro, Pancho and Juan Carlos. We heard some bands play, tried to dance mexican style but i suck too bad, went on a river walk, saw man made waterfalls, hung out, and saw fireworks!

It was a great weekend!! I love my job, school, friends, ward. Matt is doing great on his mission in Brazil- he sent me some pictures. I miss him!

Life is good!

Mexican Museums

Miia and I went to the Mexican history museum and the government history museum. It was really cool. I love Mexico!
It was a hot day so we decided to buy ice cream....

I dont know how it happened but mine fell right to the ground. I think it was God's sense of humor saying yes its okay to go to free Mexican museums on Suday but not to buy ice cream with sprinkles. haha.

There are lots of clown in the streets just doing small acts to entertain people and earn money and when these 2 blondes walk into a crowd of Mexicans of course they completely stop the show and say- Welcome! where are you guys from? And everyone turns to look at us and say hi. Haha a little embarassing but funny. Miia got a free balloon from the clown too. We werent allowed to take pictures inside...but here we are in front of the museum. and below is the government buliding.
I always wished i had stairs like this in my house. Sliding down the banner each morning- what a great way to start your day- right? Mexicans have lots of Nationalism and there are flags everywhere. Its cool.

Kanye West Concert

We are soo excited.... Miia, Liv, Denixe, Me, and Carolina.

waiting for the show
and here it is!! (I tried to add videos....but there was no sound so I dont know...lame)

We had SO much fun at Kanye West on Saturday night!! He sings Stronger, Gold Digger, American Boy, Touch the Sky, Flashing lights, more. I didnt know if i would love it becuase Im not worldest biggest hip-hop/rap fan- but he puts on such a good show and we just danced and went crazy and it was so fun!!

Before the concert Miia and I made blueberry pie! mmm mmm good. After the concert I went to Havana club with the Belgium girls and it was SOOO fun!!

I cannot wait for Twilight!!!

All Twilight fans out there...or if you're not you will be after you watch the new official trailer...

Twilight the movie will be the best! Maybe as good as the book. okay probably NOT but still Im excited for NOvember 21!!

I have never been so obsessed with a book or movie that is going to come out. Haha. BUt its so fun to watch trailers and listen to interviews from Robert and Kristen. They will do amazing as Edward and Bella. At first I didnt like either of them cuz Robert isnt superHOTTIE but his personality and the more I watch him he really is so cute and attractive, perfect Edward Cullen. And I didnt like Kristen cuz she wasnt excited enough to be BELLA! but she will do good too and after all i think they did a great job casting the roles. They have high expectations to live up to. I love Stephanie Meyer. I hope I can write a book one day. I am excited for the movie to come out!

Mexico City Temple

It has been announced that the Mexico City Temple will be rededicated on November 16th...and I MIGHT BE GOING!!!
On thursday night after institute i was hanging out with some friends and we might go. I want to go to mexico city before i return home to see the capital and pyramids and this would be a total bonus!! we are in the proces of trying to get tickets to the dedication- how cool!!!

conference weekend

Me and Melanie (shes 5 and the youngest of the Cottrell family)
On Saturday I watched conference over at the Cottrell's house. It was really nice. I loved Conference and we heard a lot of good messages about being happy even when life is rough, always being temple worthy and attending often (its so awesome how many temples dot the world), being unified, hope leads to action- do more service, and many more good talks and thoughts. I love the prophet Thomas S Monson, and all the leaders. I know the church is true!

In between sessions we went swimming. below: Tim (Cottrell dad) waving hi haha

Saturday night Sandy, Sarah, Mellie, Adrianna and I had a girls night while the boys went to priesthood. We went to dinner and watched Bewitched. Then I spent the night. Thank you Cottrell Family!Sunday afternoon we jump roped, skateboarded, talked and had fun. Mitchell tried to teach me how to ride this crazy skateboard thing. Ryan and Mitchell are 15 and twins. So funny!
After all the sessions were over we talked about what we learned then we played Speed Scrabble and Twister. It was so fun. If I had to choose one thing I miss most it is probably family game time! It was way fun. I love you family! Thanks again to the Cottrell Family

miercoles movie nights

I went to the movies with Miia and her roommates and saw Mamma Mia! I would totally recommend it. It is for sure a musical, singing the entire time but I walked out of there smiling. I want to learn all the songs and dances! hahaha. On Wed it is half price- only $3 how awesome

experiences at my new internship

I love doing an internship here at MIC! Its been quite an experience. NO I dont work at a construction site as it looks- On Tuesday I went to Cemex (a cement company) and we filmed a commercial! I got to see what goes down. We had to wear cool vests while we were on the site.

Here I am holding the script for the commercial. So helpful.....I know

Felipe and Ulysis

Me and Dani- my boss

Normally we all work in an office doing diff marketing stuff for lots of companies. Like today I finished a project of wrapping butters (styrofoam with new package designs) for demos for an expo, and putting CDs into covers, and editing pictures from a catalog in photoshop. I love the people that work here- there are about 13 of us.

quick story- MOnday was hilarious! We heard a duck quacking outside so we went outside to investigate. We think it was a pet gone loose so we wanted to catch it before it got hit by a car. We tried feeding it water, tortillas, but he didnt want it so we gave up. Then we tried to catch him ( a few neighbors were out there too) SO imagine 10 adults running around after this duck that keeps escaping, just to try to save it. I wish i would have taken pictures cuz it was funny!

one more story- Wednesday I got to record and hear what i sound like in Spanish- haha. What a joke. I sound totally American but I am finally getting better and Ulysis helped me a ton with my pronunciation now that i can recognize what i need to work on. It was awesome!
