Enjoying Summer!

Hey there!!
So... I survived my first year of Grad School! Not only that, I got a 4.0 :)
I gotta say that this semester was crazy! Getting used to combining motherhood, housewife duties, studying a Masters degree and working 2 different jobs was insane!! But I love that now I know what works and what needs to change. I feel like it's going to be so much easier next semester!

Anyway, I know I promised that I would blog more once school was over... and I will! I've been just enjoying this past week of my summer vacation. My middle sister graduated from college, so I attended her graduations. And this past weekend my baby sis did her first communion, so it was a busy day too. But I'm slowly getting to a slow routine. I've been reading, rearranging and organizing my home, and spending time with my little boy.

I have a couple of posts planned. I really hope I get to post them soon!  If I don't it's because I'm probably at the beach with my kiddo or laying on the couch with a good book ;)

R.I.P. Carlos Fuentes


I'm holding back my tears after learning that the great Mexican author, Carlos Fuentes died today. I never got the chance to meet him in person but his writing influenced my life in so many ways. It was his short story "Chac Mool" that introduced me to the wonderful and magical world of Latin American literature. His novel "Aura" is my favorite book of all times. 
I'm so sad, tengo un vacío en el corazón :(

Descance en paz el gran maestro Carlos Fuentes
