Back!
I find it hard to believe... I went for a whole seven days with no internet... deep breath... and exhale...

Alright I had an adventure the last few days. I will start with my new house! I got more settled and started getting the place set up.

Outside Pictures:
The neighborhood seems pretty nice, I am two blocks from campus so I get to walk to work and can easy run home for lunch if I need something. I also already found a good chinese food place and have their delivery number on my phone.

I love the big porch and tons of trees.

The NX finally has her own driveway and garage.

I have a good size backyard and friendly neighbors.

I even have flowers around my garage.


My Stuff
I walked into my place and bam! There was all my stuff just staring at me...

Every spot on the first floor had stuff on it.

Upside down futons... stacked up storage bins.

Every corner had something on it. There is my Connect Four game!

Even the NX was stuffed with stuff to the top.


The Space
I have tons of room... and I filled most of it with stuff. I took some pictures of my space before I started cramming my belongings into every nook and cranny. I have three bedrooms up stairs and huge bathroom. Downstairs I have a large akward shaped living room, square dinning room with hardwood floors and ugly wallpaper, and a good size kitchen and half bath. Stonewall basement that is good for storage.

My bedroom has huge mirrors on the closet doors, but not much closet space.

Most of the house has light beige carpet. This is my home office.

The stairwell is very cool, I can't wait to paint it!

The poor fridge... I doubt I will ever get it too full.


Family Update
I am having fun because on Saturday I picked up Novali. We are having fun, this including a fun trip to WMU for Bronco Bash and the Club Soda after party. She had a great time with my friends and her new Amiga (who needs to comb her hair). She chased lights with Hermen, Heather and I, and she loved her free "Jesus is the Way" flashlight. Today, in Saginaw, she got her new bike from her grandpa. She was way too excited and did not want to stop riding it, even when it got dark. Pictures coming soon.

On another note... my Abuelito Centellas is very sick. The doctors are still not sure what is wrong with him. Miguel came home for a while last week to help out, and I am here now. Andres is coming in sometime on Thursday and then who knows what will happen. It looks like their trip home is postponed... I can only imagine how hard it is for him. He is in a foreign place, with nurses who can not understand him, and few family members. I wish I could do more to help him, even Novali asked today why everyone seemed sad. It makes me very thankful she got to play with him in Chicago. He is a great grandpa, and I hope he gets better soon.

Bedtime... more pictures coming soon.
