Casa Rebeca

Daniel and I are trying to buy a house. We spend so much on rent every month. Plus right now with the economy the way it is people are more willing to give you better deals. We have been looking for a while now. But have not found a house which is ready to move in under $200,000 dollars. Apperently the real estate agents down here didn't get the economy memo. Although we have found houses that need work for good prices.

This house is called Casa Rebeca every house down here has a name and irronically this house has mine. Here are some pictures of the inside. Definatly we would have to rip up the tiles. They are a different color and patter in everyone. But the bathrooms are what need the most help. We would have to get new sinks, toliets, and seperate shower spaces and on and so forth. But it has potential. Here are a couple of pictures so you can see. I love the YELLOW everywhere. (NOT)

The house has three bed rooms. Two and half baths. Living room, dinning room and kitchen. But no yard at all. As you can see extreemly small space with only concrete.They are asking $70,000 for it. For me it is still pretty high considering all the work we are going to have to do but $70,000 is still a good price for a house right. I don't know anymore. Tell me what you guys think.

This is the kitchen. Did I mention that this house needs work.

This is the same picture which is on top of the post but Daniel decided to discover his talent in "Paint." When Daniel saw me creating this post he asked me to say, "If any of you need his assistance in remodeling give him a call and he can give you a quote for his moc-ups." But I have to admit it is pretty good.

Birthday

Thank you all so much for the happy birthday wishes by phone, email, and texts. It was a great day. Daniel really out did himself this time. We took the day off together. He let me sleep in. Then when I woke up he gave me a present it was two way cute dresses. So I wore one of them. When I woke up we went to a restaurant called Coffiala. There I ordered a apple crape and Daniel ordered a fruit plate then we shared. After our great breakfast. Daniel took me to a spa where we got massages, oh it was so wonderful. After our massage we came home and feel asleep because the massage relaxed us so much. When I woke up Daniel had red roses waiting for me. We then went to a restaurant and had (lunch/dinner) because it was at 4:30. Anyway the food was so delicious. After eating we went for a walk by the beach and watched the sun set. After the Hollywood sunset scene we rented a movie and enjoyed the rest of the night together. It was a great day because I spent it all with Daniel and we had a nice relaxing time.
At the end of the day he asked me if I enjoyed my birthday. I looked at him like he was crazy for having to ask. That's when I quoted the pigeon off of "Bolt" and said in my new york accent. "Are you kidding; this is the best day of my life." We just started laughing. That's when he said, "You see I am learning." I am so grateful for my wonderful husband. KISSES DANNY BOY. LOTS OF KISSES.

Not blogging

I am sure many of you are wondering why Becca is not blogging. In fact some of you have voiced to me my lack of blogging. So here is a recap of what has been happening lately.

1. One of our Team Leaders left our company the last week of August and since Daniel did not have someone who he thought was ready for the task he asked to me be the Manager of the Down Town store while he finds someone who can replace the Team Leader. I am doing this temporally because I still need to do my job which at the moment is being neglected.
2. I was released as the secretary of the Relief Society. Because the president moved out of our ward boundaries
3. We celebrated the Mexican Independence by watching fire works from our balcony up stairs. They were beautiful.
4. We had spirit week at work. I had been wanting to do this for a long time and so we arranged it during the week of the Mexican Independence. (Pictures to come on that.)
5. Taught little girls in our ward, age 8-11, how to make cookies and they ate the entire batch. They were so excited because they had never used an oven before. Some have an oven in their homes and some do not. But for those that do have one in their homes they don't know how to use it because their mom never had to to learn either. Crazy right. We sometimes and say I have no talents; but when you truly ponder about it, everything you know is a talent. Just because other people know how as well does not mean it is not a talent. It was good to help these girl discover something that we some times take for granted, so never say you are not talented. Start to look more fully at things you already know and appreciate your special gifts and blessing that God has given you.
6. My car has been in Cancun for 3 months. We had a friend working on it to fix the big dint in the door and while it was in his shop. His company got froze from the government and our car has been stuck there since June. I am going crazy but we are getting it back on Tuesday. I am so excited.
7. I am just going to say it. No I am not bragging. I just want everyone to know what is going on. In fact sometimes I feel so inadequate when it come to the calling. Daniel was called as the second councilor in the stake presidency. It keeps him very busy and me home by myself almost every night of the week. I am very grateful for the blessings we have received from his calling but sometimes it can get a little lonely around here. I need a new book. Any ideas.
8. I am playing the piano for the stake choir. You maybe thinking, I did not know Rebecca plays the piano. Well you are right I never exposed my little knowledge to you because everyone in Utah and Idaho can play so since I am not that great you never knew. But down here there is not one person in the stake that knows how so I am trying to get better. I have a lot to learn and I need help. If you have ideas on how to read music better and good tips on key fingering please let me know.
9. My birthday is on Thursday and Daniel and I are going to Tulum not the ruins but the City. We are planning to stay the day and night just for fun.

So you see we have been busy. Hope everyone is doing great.
