MARK!!! he is the cutest little thing on earth! he's now speaking Afrikaans and Irish too! in Afrikaans : Trav asks him.. " hoe oud is jy?" and he answers showing two fingers "twee" or trav says "hoe gaan dit?" and he replies "goed dankie" it's the cutest thing ever!! and in irish.. (excuse any spellings) Trav says "conas ata tu?" and Spuddy says "Go Maith" and then she says "cead is anim duit?" and he shouts out "MARKY" haha i swear so cute! then she says "marky what does mommy say when she wants you to relax?" and he says "tog a Boge" so cute!! and he talks alot too now!! i snuck him some nesquick powder and he was like "mmm Yummy Secret" haha i'm so glad to see them all again!! it's so GRRREEEAAAT!!! :) :) it's now 3:40 am and although i barely slept on the flight... i can't sleep! damn Jet lag!!

well... i have been super super super bad at this.. so lucky for me Mely decided to update for me on facebook!! lol Thanks Mely! :) so yeah read from the bottom up!!! :)


Verwyder
Mely Torres For a chronological display of Chrisi's adventures in mexico and San Diego, go to the bottom and read upwards. :)





Mely Torres Then after crying and goodbyes I let my girls go this morning.... I will miss you Christi!!!!





Mely Torres Thursday after my conference I took the girls on a tour of San Diego to see the Mormon Battalion Monument, Old Town, Balboa Park, The Embarcadero, Down Town San Diego, The gaslamp quarter, The Corornado Bridge, Hotel Del Coronado, Coronado Island Beach, and eat at Horton Plaza Down Town. I think they went to the pool after that.



Mely Torres No, that must of been a different day because they went to Institute with me that night.

Mely Torres Christi decided to stay home on Wednesday while the other girls went to the Birch Aquarium. After a lengthy massage on my delux massage chair, she finally felt better and agreed to go with me to an IRS Conference. We went and got all sorts of free stuff for her from the vendor booths and she sat through a session on the IRS Earned Income Credit without falling asleep. Then we met up with the girls. Was this the day I found the girls at the pool where I live with a boy from the YSA ward and my single home teacher that has never visited me but wanted to see them? Hmmmmm.






Mely Torres Went shopping on Tuesday to Deseret Books and found that the harry Potter film was coming out so at spur of the moment bought tickets for the premier at midnight. Needed to buy some pants to sit on the floor to wait for the movie and instead we decided to make a pact and purchase PJs. We bought PJs and dressed at the restaurant next door. I played around with the Gay guy at the restaurant and he gaves us all free stuff. We bribed a girl $10USD to save our place in line just to find out they made everyone go inside of the theater to wait for the movie. We penciled lightning bolts on our foreheads and ate while we waited the 4+ hours for the movie. It was funny! Got home after 3 am.


Mely Torres Came back to the US. Had a guy from Institute take them to FHE at the YSA ward on Monday. By the Way - the girls have serious tans!


Mely Torres They moved in with me last Friday. I took them to Mexico where we delivered food boxes to the poor, went to see the place where Liam and I are having our reception, took them to see La Bufadora where Christi and I found a painting of Joseph Smith in all places (christi bought it), went to Ensenada for fish tacos that Melissa wouldn't eat, took a mini cruise of the bay of Ensenada, and they had their first taste of real mexican tacos and other foods. Took them to church and tried to translate for them as everything was in spanish.


Mely Torres misses Christi, Melissa, Keri Ann and Emma already. I will news you up for them:

green to green!

well i'z in america now! it's the awesomest place ever like! lol

hmmmm this is so crazy! i still won't believe it til i'm actually like.... saying goodbye to my parents!! never been away from tehm for more than 10 days.... weird eh?

Anyway... i think i've finished packing for real now... until tomorrow when i realise i didn;t put something in or something?!? the only thing i'm lacking is SOCKS!!! i flipping don't tknow where all of them went to! probably a lovely sock party going on somewhere, meanwhile my piggies are left almost sockless?!

Stinkin socks!!! (luckily not literally!!)

anyhoo.. i'm gonna end this now so it looks like i went to sleep.... we all know that in reality i'm still sitting right here at the laptop!!

Bubye!

Hay fever!?

Well.. i've been having problems with my skin! bought all the masks and scrubs like possible and nothing was working! so i was like GAH!!! i'd been meaning to look up on the internet if it had anything to do with hay fever... just cuz it all started around the same time my dads hay fever started affecting him.... didn't think it would affect the skin though... but. i was wrong!!!! it's so funny cuz as long as i can remember i've always gotten a rash when i sat on grass in the summer.?!?! never thougth anythng of it but when i was looking for what was wrong with my face i found out that that was also one of the symptoms... so it's not like i only just got hay fever or anything/.. i've had it for Ages! weird eh!?!?! anyway// just felt like randomly writing that down!?!?

Gah! leaving tomorrow?!!?! ma belly is jelly! lol...
I packed last night though so idon;t gotta worry about that.. just gotta put the last bit of my washing in and i'm done! then print off my ticket and off we go!!! :) getting excited again now!

hmmm.....

so... haven't written on this in a while!... oops!

anyway not too much happened! randomly decided to go to dublin at like midnight on thursday... it was fun though.. went by the wicklow mountains and stuff... and glendaLOUGH was pretty cool! took some pictures and stuff but i gotta actuall take them off my phone first!


Leaving on tuesday....... i'm pretty damn freaked out and not too sure if i'm excited anymore.... it's kinda annoying... maybe it's just cuz it feels so unreal... maybe i'll be more excited when it actually happens...

Gonna be so weird.. hmm... yeah very weird..


today we had like a broadcast of district conference from england for like the whole of britain and ireland!!! Pres Uchtdorf spoke.. and Pres Monson's daughter too..... you could totally see they were related like!!!

Brendan did a marathon today! so we went into town really early to see him off and wait fotr him!! oh yeah!! it;s a bank holiday today!!! so yeah!! then bbq at the mcgraths! was good i guess beside being embarrassed more than i've ever been embarrassed in my entire life!!!!!!! omgosh! i wished i'd die for like those 10 minutes!! sometimes i get irritated that people can't keep their mouths shut!! but other than that and a few other things i guess it was ok!!

I'm still kinda weird about the being embarrassed thing... just kinda pissed off or something!! i'm not actually sure!?!?
