My Saturday in pics
I'm doing pics on certian days for the community Adayinmylife but I want to share with my LJ friends as well. This is a day of exploration with Angel, cleaning and his dad's birthday cookout in the end. Enjoy!
As my phone rings, I frown wondering who it is then smile when I realize it's reminding me about today being my ADIML day. Woot!
I leave my boyfriend snoring in the bed and turn my computer on. This is a picture of me and my cousin, Ehren. He's been accepted into the Art Institute of Nashville. I'm so proud.
I glance over at the time. Too early to be awake but too awake to fall back asleep.
I check my livejournal and my facebook. Angel's brother's girlfriend is telling how he won his baseball game.
As I look outside, I ask Angel who's waking up if we're still going walking. After a while he says yes.
I take a look around my living room and make a mental note to clean this up later.
Time to get dressed to walk! BEHOLD the power of walking shoes!
We won the lottery! We won the lottery! We won...two dollars!!! I feel rich already!
We head out and after Angel dumps our trash, we go on our way.
Good Morning, neighbors! What a beautiful spring day!
Good Morning Paloma! (yes, we named the truck) We'll be using you later.
This is our first time walking around our complex so imagine my surprise finding this meadow here.
When I turn the other way, I just so happen to find this doggy taking advantage of the morning in the way he knows best.
I manage to get another picture of Angel as he directs my gaze to my favorite car.
Oh, yes...she's a beauty.
Here's what's on one side of our bridge.
This little guy thought he was fast enough to escape my camera. He thought wrong!
This is the bridge! It's quite beautiful at night.
We get home sweaty but I take enough time to put this cutie on my screen.
Shower time!
As we are so busy working, our little apartment barely gets any attention until the weekend. The bathroom proves that.
So does our bedroom and my writing area. We get to work quickly.
I take a few minutes during cleaning to see the time.
Yes, we are still cleaning then.
The results...
OOOH!
AHH!
We finally get through. Here's another time check.
While Angel plays his PS3 FIFA game...
I get dressed, brush my teeth and do my hair. We're heading to his parents' house for a cookout.
All dressed and ready to go!
Did I mention how pretty the day was?
Angel is ready to go and so am I!
About 25-30 mins later we arrive at our destination. Angel's family's house.
We go around the back and find his younger brother, Ruben working on stuff. We say our hellos and go inside.
Angel's mom and dad aren't there, but the food definitely is. Mmm...rice for later.
Not only is the food here, but so is Ruben's girlfriend Bianca. She's getting ready for the night ahead.
The parents arrive with the rest of the food. Time to start cooking.
Angel's dad gets the beer ready. It will be gone by the end of the night, trust.
Bianca and I start putting fajita seasoning and lime juice on the steaks...until we realize that Ruben has the camera.
We have enough time to say "Cheeese!"
We use quite a lot of limes. More the better I say.
Bianca mixes the meat all together, while I head outside.
Somebody decides to greet me. His name is Bacon and is the same dog on my screen. He's the sweetest thing and doesn't know a lick of English. :)
After saying hi, I see my boyfriend cooking the meat on the grill. I come to observe.
If you think it looks good, imagine the smell. My mouth was watering. We hadn't eaten all day.
Just another day at the Ortiz family home. While Bianca and Ruben chat...
I get some Bacon lovin. Obviously this is a universal gesture. Which is good cause I love petting him.
More Bacon cuteness!
I go inside and look at Angel's trophies. He loves baseball and used to play in high school.
While waiting for the food, we hang out in the living room and discuss names that we want to name our kids. It got quite funny watching those two fight between "Jason" and "Ezra".
The guests haven't arrived yet but with the permission of Angel's mom, I manage to eat some chicken salad. It was greatness.
After eating a bit, I go in with Angel and watch Ruben mercilessly beat Bianca in Marvel vs. Capcom.
Time check!
Finally the guests arrive...right when the weather turns from 85 to 65. On this side we have Little Eva, Bianca and Jorge.
And on this side we have Karina, Ruben and Daniel. Chow time!
This pretty girl is Angel's 3 year old goddaughter, Eva. She's a bright spot in his life and mine.
The ladies eat at another table while the men eat in the garage and chat.
It's too cold for me so I go inside and grab a snack. The pear I had was wonderful and juicy.
I manage to get some cuddle time with my baby before Bianca comes to grab some pics.
She gets a little flash happy though and the camera comes back in my possession.
The time tells me that it's almost time to head home.
I visit a bit with everybody in the garage.
I say my goodbyes to Ruben then head home in the cold with no jacket. :(
I fall asleep in the truck but wake up just in time to take a pic of our bridge. See? I told you it was pretty at night.
Get home, and immediately jump in the bed to go to sleep.
