A bilingual blog for a binational family.
It’s that time of the year where everyone is a basketball coach, basketball expert, statistician, physical trainer, psychic, mind reader and prophet. Yes….it’s March Madness! For those out of the country or unfamiliar with the term, “March Madness” refers to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament where 68 college teams play for the National Championship during […]
Since posting this we also completed P90X Phase II as well! Check it out! Lately we’ve been super busy with school, work, working out and house stuff (nothing exciting – just cleaning, yard work, a couple of small repairs)…which is why our posts are fewer and farther between on the blog. We have had a […]
Over the weekend Javier pretended it was summer. We went to Lowes Saturday morning to buy some spackle to fix something in the office and we left with a brand new charcoal grill and a weed whacker. Javi spent the afternoon assembling his new grill and giving our lawn a much, much needed manicure. This […]
This week is Vanderbilt’s spring break, which in graduate student speak means “spring catch up time” or, if you’re a really good student, “spring get ahead” time. My spring break has been dedicated to the former – catching up on my thesis work so I can finally start analyzing data and writing the damn thing! […]
I just had to post this quick video of Choripan trying to rescue Javier from despair. Javi does this thing where he gets on the floor and covers his head and starts fake crying and wherever Choripan is in the house, his ears instantly perk up and he comes running to find Javi, then weasels […]

I’d seen the photo before as the May 2012 photo in the Vanderbilt University calendar but I didn’t realize it would also be published on the commencement handbook. It’s a […]
Last week my good friend Nikita and her boyfriend Jordan brought home an adorable 12-week-old Shiba Inu pupster. He’s darling and looks a little bit like a fox. Nik and Jordan are still trying to figure out his personality before they name him but I know “Huck” is on the top of Nikita’s list. They still need suggestions […]
Happy Saturday all! Javi and I wanted to dedicate a quick post to my cousin Andrew’s girlfriend and our friend Camala Rodriguez who took second place last night at the Arnold Classic Fitness International competition last night! Javi and I got our first glimpse into fitness and bodybuilding competitions last night when we watched a […]
Last weekend when Melissa and Andre brought my great-grandfather’s desk they also brought a few of my granddaddy’s notebooks from his freshman year at Maryville College. I only knew him as…well, a grandaddy! So it’s always really fun for me to see little things like these notebooks to show me what he was like when […]
