Graduation………
It’s always amazing to see someone graduate, it’s fun to take a moment and reflect on how they got to where they are now. No matter how long you’ve known someone, you can look back on the memories you have of them and smile. Last weekend, we went to the graduation party of a longtime family friend Christie. Christie graduated college last week, and we were all happy to help her celebrate. We are good friends with the entire Monsalve family, Desi, German, Michael, Carlos & Christy. I met Desi when she started working with my mom in ’91. In the years we have known them, we have celebrated birthday’s together, we’ve celebrated holidays together, we’ve basically been part of each other biggest moments. And last Saturday was no exception. Desi and German know how to throw a party, they had food overflowing, begging you to eat some of each (which I did) from homemade tamales to bratwurst they had it all. Then came cake, and cookies, and brownies, and the most decadent chocolate truffle I have EVER had, you NEVER go hungry when you go to a Monsalve party. I had a blast introducing my family to everyone, and it was fun to see them react to the fact I have 2 children of my own now.
Watching my kids run and play comfortable in the home they were in, accepted like family, I was reminded, the feeling of home comes even when your miles from it, as long as it’s with people you love. I am so glad that my boys get to have the Monsavle family in their lives.
