OK, and I'm back (better late than never, right?) I feel like in just a few weeks my body has suddenly doubled in size...as strange and new and uncomfortable as this feels, I have to admit that it's just way too fun to finally feel AND look pregnant. People can now see there's a reason I act the way I do.
A couple of weeks ago, both Sergio and I were able to take a weekend off and spend a couple of nights in Houston. We returned to the Houston temple for the first time since getting married there in November 2004 (not long after a temple was built in San Antonio which is only 3 1/2 hours away versus Houston's 7), which was nothing short of wonderful.
Then, last weekend, Serg suddenly decided to enter the "Strong Man Competition" at our local Gold's Gym. He ended up coming in FIRST PLACE in the Hummer pull (yep, exactly what it sounds like....they strapped him to a Hummer and he pulled it across the parking lot as fast as he could) and fifth place overall. It was incredibly fun to cheer him on, though I g
ot my first sunburn of t
he spring/summer for sitting out in the blazing south TX sun for way too long! I took our cute little dachsund, Prince, along for company...the two of us, along with Serg's brother and friend, had a great time representing Team Solis.
It was quite the year, but I actually did it! Two weeks ago I graduated from Sam Houston State with my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership. Working full time and going to grad school full time (at a campus 8 hours from home!) proved to be quite the challenge...especially when pregnancy was thrown into the mix...but I somehow made it and saw it through to the finish. Whew!! I will admit there were moments I thought either work or school would have to go, but I'm so blessed to have a husband who knows me well enough to know those moments of stress are usually over by the next day--he kept me going and pushing to the finish. Thanks babe!!
