Mad props

Oh Heyyy!
Let me just begin by answering the questions on all of your minds: No husband did not try killing me this week. Although, we did many other things... swam a mile, set a new goal to run an 8 minute mile, ate mexican, and more mexican and then more mexican, an epic trip to the laundry mat, and learning  how to do some serious time management. We managed to play with our good friends all weekend and get some homework done to. Mad props to us! Well more mad props to husband because I went to get a pedicure and ran into this cute girl! Perfect timing is what that is ladies and gentleman. Because let.me.tell.you: she did an excellent job selling Paola and I on our double date vacation to this beautiful place :) April can hurry up now. April can also hurry up because that is when the most fantastic parents come into town. NINE weeks those lovelies will be here in my very apartment. NINE WEEKS! Yes, it is clearly evident I am a mommas girl. I talk to that woman every day.  That woman has really defied all odds. This week in class we talked about social class and how it effects you and the statistics for your future. My mom, grew up in the "ghetto", in a one parent home and took care of her siblings. She worked for everything she had growing up. In the "lower" class the marriage divorce rate is skyrocketing. Many people in circumstances similar to the one my mom grew up in, never had a model to show how a parent should act, or how a healthy relationship should look. Many peoples faith in the institution of marriage and family is dwindling. A lot of times there is such a desegregation in marriage and family and our society just accepts it. We accept it so much that we can make movies about it. Like this little clip from baby mama. Now I love this movie just as much as the next, but the sad reality is that this type of reality is becoming more the norm. Having a baby and being married no longer go hand in hand.  So I guess the real mad props this week go to my mom for beating the statics and being happily married. For her to rise above the odds and marry a  man who helped her raise a family where the belief in marriage and family is strong and intact.
