we find the defendant...

GUILTY.....

Say hello to the newly employed Mr. Valdez.

Alvaro hadn't heard from the bank since today and so he decided to call this morning to see how the process was going. The lady didn't answer the phone so Alvaro left a message. Not even five minutes later, the lady called him back, apologized for taking so long to call him, and then offered him a job.

I wasn't with Alvaro yet when he found out the news, he was on his way to pick me up from school and when he picked me up there was a sticky note on the dashboard folded up, and he told me to open it cause he wrote me a message. I opened it, and it said, "I GOT THE JOB." It was so exciting, I apologize Alvaro, I think I hit him on the arm a few times cause I am just so proud of him. Then we went out for lunch to celebrate.

So starting June Alvaro is working at TD Canada Trust, working as a Financial Services Representative and will begin by going through training for six months.

I just really wanna thank you for all of your prayers, because I know that this was only done by God and we just feel so blessed at this point in our lives. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we go through finishing school, we will both be finished end of May, middle of June, so that is very exciting and we are so thrilled to see where God will send us and what he will do with our lives..
Praise God, He is so good.. Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement, we love you all. .:):):)

still waiting...

"Trust in the Lord with all you heart

and lean not on your own

understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make you paths

straight."

Proverbs 3:5-6

Continued prayers please as we await the news about Alvaro's job interview. We know that God has a plan and a will for us and we are learning to trust him completely...

But we know that when we do trust him he will show us his path for us and he will set it straight.. The bible says it.. Preach on!!

We'll let you all know as soon as we hear anything, thank you so much for your prayers..!:)

Interview!!

Well, Alvaro got a phone call Monday morning and he has an interview Friday morning. That is tomorrow, for those of you who don't know, so, if you'd like to keep him in your prayers, he'll be in the interview at 10am tomorrow morning.. So yeah, we're trying to figure out which shirt and tie he should wear with his suit, grey or green? What a toss up, it's a hard choice.. But I think we'll go for the grey.. Looks so classy..!

(Of course he'll shave in the morning)

no worries..

Anyway, keep him in your prayers as I am sure he'll be a bit nervous. Luckily I'll be home in the morning to send him off... So proud.. ha.. Well, I am sure we'll talk to you all soon to let you know how it went. Hope you're all having a great week.. If you choose to leave a message, you could send him a few words of encouragement..Thanks.. Gotta run, lata.. So proud of you Alvaro whether this is God's will for you or not:)

Homecoming

Well we are back home, I am not sure if that is good or not. It is nice to be in our own bed again and to just sit here and relax, but it was also hard to leave and so great to see so much family and friends. We had an amazing weekend filled with so much fun and laughter and cries and prayers, and singing, etc, etc, etc... And I am so thankful we were able to go... We got to see these beautiful children,there was just one little Eva missing:(

Anywho, Saturday night we were out till 4 in the morning, our time, chatting with his class, singing, sharing stories, and we had so much fun... I am glad Alvaro got to go, there was a good size of his class that attended, and it was great..

So after our long night at the party, we woke up Sunday, went to church, and had a delicious lunch with the whole family... Brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, neices and nephews were all welcome:) So, that was the jist of our weekend and we are home and exhausted. So I hope everyone else had a great weekend, and please check out our photos.. So many memories..:)
