Fifty-two weeks ago today, Dan graduated from law school. I was as big as a house. Sam came one week later. I wore the same dress today that I wore then, but it fits much better now.

Today we took a walk. We saw a dead frog, a dead bird, and a dead kitten. We also saw a few cats, lots of birds, a rabbit, lizards, and a homeless man. One time on a walk we saw a crazy homeless man get in a fight with a really mean limo driver. On a different walk, we saw a car full of guys ask a man walking by for directions. The man ignored them and turned around to walk the other way. It was strange.

We went to look at our house this weekend. It's really coming along. The brick work is almost done and the drywall is done, too. It's supposed to be finished in 2 months. I can't believe it!Are quinceañeras big in any other cities besides Houston? It's a Mexican tradition where girls who turn 15 have a huge party. We see girls walking around like this all the time getting their pictures taken. They have entire entourages of "bridesmaids" and "best men"-type looking people, too. They make a huge deal about it. So much so that instead of just a bridal expo at the Reliant Stadium this weekend, it was a bridal and quinceañera expo. They act like it's a wedding. (We even saw a girl turning quince getting her pictures taken at the temple this weekend. -- Dan)
