Happy Easter!

There have been several things going on in the past month- my parents came to visit, we had back to back groups, I dropped my phone and got ripped off my the insurance I was paying...etc.

Having my mom and dad here was great, though the four days they were here seemed to FLY by. They came and were gone much too quickly.

The groups that we had mostly all through April have finally left- now my job includes going through all of their evaluations. I prefer the people experience more than I do reading what they thought of us, but it's a job all the same. Now that the last group has left, and we don't have any coming in for the near future, I can relax a little bit.

Finally, just a couple of days ago, as I was getting out of the car, my phone dropped out of my lap and landed flat on it's screen, shattering the bottom half. It's a miracle that the phone still worked nearly perfectly, but it was ready to die. So, after going through the claim process, my insurance that I was paying on the phone kindly informed me that after paying 90 dollars, I would receive the same phone, brand new.

I filed the claim, and was THEN informed that the phone I had wasn't even manufactured anymore and there was no chance of receiving the same one.

After a lot of stress, a lot of money, and a very unhappy Anne, I have in my hands a new working phone, different model, different style, but functional to say the very least. I'm hoping that as I learn to use it, I'll be less frustrated by the fact that it's not MY phone.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Easter, and that the Easter bunny brings plenty of Cadbury Eggs :)

Quinceañera

 This past weekend was another first for me- a friends 15th birthday, which here in Mexico is greatly celebrated. The quinceañera in Latin America is similar to the American sweet 16- where the birthday girl is celebrated and goes through several ceremonial traditions that symbolize her coming into womanhood. 

Here is a video that I did as an introduction to the festivities.

Cindy made for a beautiful birthday girl, and I was asked to be in charge of videos and pictures for the event. Here are a few of my favorites!!
