Happy Birthday, Ricardo!

Well, today's Ricardo's birthday!! I am writing to wish him a happy birthday because I know that he and his mom will read my blog soon. :) I was so surprised yesterday when his mom called me. And even more surprised when I found out that she had read my blog as far back as the first entry that I wrote after I went to Mexico! I couldn't believe that someone would take the time to read that much about me! I don't think I would haha. But she likes me. Ricky says I'm her favorite in-law already. And that's so awesome because I don't have my mom here to be my best friend. I have had Lisa and other examples and loving mother-like figures in my life, and I am grateful for that. But I really like how Ricky's mom and I connect when we talk, even though it's difficult through skype. And she took time for me. It's not something I'm used to, but I definitely like it. I am excited to spend hours talking with her when I go to Mexico. I think she is too.

Anyway, I am also REALLY excited about how spoiled Ricky is going to be when I see him. But I have to admit that he has spoiled me and will spoil me a LOT. But I can't write about the big surprise that I have for him. Because then he'd read it and know what it was - then it wouldn't be a surprise! But I will keep thinking of ideas of what I can do to pleasantly surprise him - it's too bad that I didn't have enough patience to keep the other presents a surprise. :(

Well, I'm writing a bit distracted because I'm watching the 5 hour version of "Pride and Predj" with Emily. But now I really should go practice and I have a phone call to make. Well, I will write again soon!

Love,
Stephi
