Trip to meet the family

Last June in 2009 I was engaged to Daniel R. de Alemeida and it was also vacation time for our family. we were all going to be attending alex's high school graduation from Escuela Americana and Liz and Eric had invited our family to come. I used my flight miles to give to Cristi, Brooks, Bianca, Joseph and Mandy so we could all be together.

At the same time, I had started to date Daniel and we knew that we were going to get married soon. We were only waiting to hear from the First Presidency to dissolved my first marriage and to get permission for Daniel to marry me. The trip was fantastic other than the fact that I got sick and maybe it was because I was bragging to Daniel saying that I never ever get sick on trips like other people do.

Liz had a full schedule plan every day. From as early as 6:00 am to see many of the beautiful sights like: el volcan, el lago de cuatepeque and the beach. We went to some little towns as well to see how people make things out of clay and "las amacas"

One of the highlights was also celebrating Cristi's birthday on June 9Th at the Country golf club, that is a nice place and probably the most exclusive place to have a party. Thanks to the Behners who are members we get to enjoy of those amenities.

Daniel also needed to talk to the girls to tell them of our decision to get married and we all had a heart to heart discussion with each other. When my Bianca Asked, why did he think he loved me, he simply said, "there is not a reason why I love your mother, I just do." He explained that he felt like that from the first time he saw me and that many things he does, he does them because they feel right and because he knows that it is what he should do without questioning why, he just follows those promptings. Daniel is a very spiritual man and I know the Lord guides him.

This two week trip in June went by so fast because of all the things we were doing and very special because it was our very first time spending time with my side of the family. Many didn't even know I was divorced.
