Bad: Summer is over! Driving back to Mexico was brutal. It took us way longer because we packed so much stuff to bring back. I did a terrible job of packing good food to eat during the drive so I ate like crap the whole way. Our stuff got rained on. I came home to mess, bugs, dirt, laundry, you know...all that fun stuff. I gained weight while I was home and I am so gross. I hate that I get homesick. SO LAME!
Good: We made it home safe and sound. It's always stressful to drive here. We brought home tons of food from AZ that will be so good to have since most of it I can't get in Mexico. And it will save us tremendously on our monthly food bill.  The kids start school this week! We had tacos and crepes tonight. I forgot how fun it is to drive here. It's like Mario Kart. I had a wonderful summer and I'm lucky to have been able to be home for so long and enjoy all the things I did.

  3. What a fun summer! I'm glad you got to go "home" for a few months and gear up for the next semester!! I'm sad we didn't get together. December for sure. I'm counting the days till my next trip back and I'm sure you are too! P.S. Your hair is SO long! I love it.
