Updates

I am planning on doing some biweekly updates until I get internet and have a chance to post daily, so I am saving my post until I get back home with internet access!

We'll be coming home every 15 days on the weekends, so we'll have 2 weekends there and 2 home. Now we are home on our first weekend free.

They said we'll get internet this next week but until that REALLY happens here is our update :)

June 1st, 2009

Today we moved to Los Cacaos, the area is really nice and surrounded by Mountains, it is so beautiful :) There are around 400 families here, all of them really poor and in need of tons of thing, at least now they don’t have to travel to get medical attention, because they cannot afford the travel fee.
I spend the whole day fixing our room here and Bayo spend the day seeing patients, at the end of the day we are SO tired :p
People are really friendly here, they are all really happy that we came, because no doctor wanted to move to the mountain, we re like an tour and a half away from the city, but the road is really bad so we cannot travel daily.
I will be coming home every other weekend and until we get internet over there I will be saving my post and publishing all of them when I get to the city.
I am really looking forward to the adventures this next year are going to bring us, wish us luck!

Entrance to the Town "Los Cacaos" (wish is the fruit used to make chocolate)

A view of part of the road to get there.

I really love it here :)

news and FFF

Either I write now or never (I will do another post with more details), do you remember this post?

Well it turns out now we DO have to move for the new job, and we are moving to a rural area in the montain :0 Yup far away from anything modern, working in a new hospital there (the people from the area are really happy to see us because no other doctors wanted to go that far), we decided to take it because it will be a new and fun experience :)

Like I said more details once we settle down there (moving is no fun :/ we'll be coming to the city every 2 weekends) and lets all pray they have wireless internet.

Here is my FFF picture of the week...

It was Bayo's bday and we had a Mexican Fiesta (this is an old pic,I used it for decoration at the party, I will share pics of the real bday later).

FFF- Favorite Guy!

This week's theme for FFF is actually your favorite picture of the week, we couldnt take any pics this week because our battery charger is broken and we are cheap enough to not buy regular ones until we get a new charger :p

But still I wanted to share my favorite guy EVERY WEEK, my gift from God :)

My tough cookie with a marshmallow heart :)

Happy!!

Here in DR, after you finish medicine, in order to get your exequatur (is the number that allows you to legally work on your career and give prescriptions) you have to work for 1 year for the goverment (public intership).
We've been trying to get in for a year, and after we came home from the test we went to the office in charge of giving you the intership daily, yes daily, because there is a lot of people on the waiting list!!
Well no more! today they finally located us in an intership and is near home, at first they told us that Bayo was being placed in a different town than me, but after practically begging the lady in charge, the secretary told us that since she still hasnt called all of the interns, that if someone rejected the offer she would try to locate us together, we were even considering moving to another town as long as we were together, well no need for that, because she called me this afternoon and said that we are going to the same place and is a town near ours so we dont have to move :)
I AM REALLY HAPPY!

I {HEART} Baking

If you love cookie dough and you love cupcake this is perfect for you :)

Today I baked Double Chocolate Chunk Vanilla Cupcakes, just writing the name makes me want to go grab another one, yum!

It is just your favorite cupcake and cookie recipe mix together, could there be anything better in the world? NOPE!

First you need to make some cookie dough, if you are scared about eating raw eggs use this eggless recipe, if like me you like to lick your bowl clean everytime you bake and really couldnt care less about salmonella just to have that wonderful taste in your mouth :) follow this one for Double Chocolate Chunk cookies (or your regular favorite one).

Make the dough into balls and freeze them (eat a few before you do that).

Now make vanilla cupcakes, and put the frozen cookie dough balls on top before baking, no need to push them down.

Bake the regular time your cupcake recipe requires.

ENJOY!!

FFF- Blooper!

This week's theme for FFF was really hard for me, because I hardly have any blooper pics of us :/ thanks to digital cameras I just erase all the pics I dont like, ha!

This one is from our honeymoon, for some reason I love it and didnt erase it :)

is all blured and Bayo's sunglasses are falling, but you can see how happy we were that day :)

FFF- Mommy!

Mother's day here in DR is the last sunday of this month, but I have some pictures of my mom for this week's FFF.

I couldnt choose just one picture :) so enjoy just a few of my favorite ones.I love this picture so much, she looks so beautiful!

Mommy and me :) I like the way that she is looking at me, you can see all the love in her eyes!

One of my favorite pics from our wedding, I will always treasure it!

I love you mom!

And Happy Mother's day to all the mommy readers!
