The First of 3 Family Quinceaneras

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is having a great summer, I'm writing to you today about my niece Mimi's Quinceañera . Woot! Woot! My niece turned 15 in May but due to the church and the venue the celebration was held on June 20th. I'm going to share with you some of the questions I asked her and what she responded as well as her surprise dance!



Me:
 1.Did your quinceañera turn out as you thought it would?
2. What was your favorite part of the quinceañera ?
3. What was the most stressful part of the quinceañera ?
4. Let's talk about the gifts lol what were the best gifts you got and what were the worst?
5. What was the most memorable part of the night
6. For the church service what was the best what was the worst? What would you do differently for the church ceremony of your quinceañera ?
7. Also what would you have done differently about the party
8. Let's talk about your quinceañera practices what did you like and what did you not like?
9. What was the hardest part about having quinceañera ?

Mimi's Responses:
1.) Actually, my quinceañera turned out better than I expected.
2.) Hmm.. My favorite part of my quince was either the "regalo sopresa" which was when both Maria and Mario came out to dance Or when the Banda came in playing cause I had no clue what so ever that I was getting a banda.




3.)Stressful part about the whole quinceañera planning was probably getting everything done at the very last minute.
4.) The gifts were pretty interesting to see lol um the best gift was either the flowery backpack or the red big "bitch bag". The worst gift were the leggings and a nail polish that used to be shown on TV. I also got a plastic cup and sandwich box food thing but it wasn't a bad gift.. I just found it pretty funny cause no one would really expect getting something like that as a quince present haha.
6.) For the church service everything was okay.
7.) Although my court and I didn't get to rehearse for the actual day, everything went pretty well. I don't know if anything could have been changed.
8.) Any changes to the party.. I don't know if any changes should have been made at all just because I thought everything went pretty well. Although organizing a little more could have helped that night.
9.) The hardest part of quince practice was probably getting my court to focus from time to time. One of the scariest parts for me about quince practice was probably doing the lift. I was afraid I would slip or something.

Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster Review


Image result for walking disaster

I was walking around Walmart when I found Beautiful Disaster. What caught my attention was the cover and the description of the book. Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. She also has a past she doesn't ever want to talk about or go back to. When she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One Night Stand, Travis Maddox. He is dripping sex appeal and temptation, he's lean, cut, and covered in tattoos. What else could you possibly ask for? Travis comes from a all boy family. As a child he lost his mother, which probably has something to do with the whole Walking One Night Stand status he has. Travis spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days on campus. He is deeply intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, so much that he's willing to risk his current lifestyle. Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, both are in for a tug of war of the heart. I had never heard of the author, Jaime McGuire but I'm glad I found her book. Her first pages drew me in, I'll be honest here Travis is a alpha male character but he does however have his soft side. It all comes with the territory of his past, the same goes for Abby (except she's not an alpha male lol). Niether one of them has had a fairytale childhood and you see it in both books Beautiful Disaster is the book based on Abby's POV, and it serves as the backbone of the series. Then in Walking Disaster you get Travis' POV, which definetly adds more to it and it becomes a window into his soul, because you get to read his thoughts and feelings. I would recommend these books if you're looking for something new to read that has a bit of edge to it along with romance and some catchy names for the main characters!


"If A Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever." A very well learned lesson in Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster.
