I always wanted to take the kids to a Astros game and I was able to get free tickets, thanks to my friend at work. Believe it or not the girls were the only ones who went. The boys stayed home. If the baseball ever hits the yellow chick fil a pole everyone at the stadium gets a free chick fil a. Also everytime the astros get a homerun the train you see moves and blows his whistle. Every friday they have a firework show at the end of the game. It was awesome!! The best I've ever seen! The girls loved it!!

B.E.A.T.S.

I am an advisor for a new womans organization! It was my invision from being a student at the college and having to restart college classes over and over because of abuse at home. I looked for assistance and being able to talk with other ladies in my same situation gave me hope and english class papers. The Groups name is Building Each others Achieveents Through Sharing. We share lifes experiences, share our talents and share with the community. It is kind of like YW. The theme song is As Sisters In Zion. Except the first line goes, As Sisters in college we'll all work together...... We are going to have quest speaker teach us about rape prevention and another on come and teach us how to change a tire or oil. We are also going to do crafts like quilting etc. This was our first meeting.

Fernando and Veronica

What can I say, Veronica and Fernando make such a beautiful couple! The wedding was fun, Eddie played the music so felt truly like old times. The only thing that would of made it complete was hearing the cotton eyed joe. I think I heard something like it was Naomis fault.. don't know.... These Houston folks probably wouldn't of ever heard it before. It was so much fun hanging with mom and rosalinda. I got to see angie and shon too. Almost felt like being in Corpus. Rosalinda and mom were glowing in some of these pics, we don't know why. I was the only one that didn't glow. Whats up with that? Dudoo dudoo. (twilight zone theme muic playing)

Poster Boy!

Amalekia has joined SAAB and will be featured on the college website and brochure. The definition of SAAB is as follows. SAAB-This highly structured and organized program targets the conditions facing African American and Latino male college students as well as several retention initiatives and models with emphasis on enhancing the experience for males. More than 160 college and universities in 27 states have established SAAB chapters. I was there when they took the pictures for North Harris. I have worked with this group and truly feel like the SAAB mom. We are a community college in which comes a class of students that are most definately stuggling financially and through some real life challenges. Its a big group and the Advisor even got me to get in on the picture. I didn't include that one. Everyone see my son!! Hes the cute one in middle. :)

SOAR Birthday Bash!

It is always hard to get (SOAR) together for lunch much less an official meeting. We are an active little group that totally enjoys every minute of what we do. We wanted to celebrate our most recent birthdays: Pat , Trina and Sheldon. We made it happen and relaxed and enjoyed eachothers company. Aw! It was a nice retreat. Go! Team! Go!
The second pic will be on our website.

Co-Ed Baby Shower!

Last weekend me, Noemi and Mom went to a co-ed baby shower. It was so so much fun! the guys were more into the games then the ladys. They were competative. Everyone knows the saftey pin game where the ladys can't cross thier legs or another lady can take away their clothes pin. Well, the guys don't cross their legs so they rule set for them was to always drink with their left hand, if you caught them drinking with their right you could take away their clothes pin. The baby shower king took it away from mom and when he was getting ready to put it on his shirt he switches hands and mom took her pin right back. He rejoiced in is victory only about three seconds! Ha! Ha! It was the best baby shower I had ever been to.
