Good Question TADA

I love when somebody that I havent seen since High School asks me where my husband is from. {Someone that has never seen him of course.} When I tell them Uruguay they usually give me a very weird look. I then explain that yes, I am married to one of those brown people. {I am practically a brown person now so I can talk like that!}
Its still funny to me almost 7 years later that I have never seen the house Diego grew up in, the schools he attended, the place where he scored his first goal in soccer, the Circle k {I know we dont have those anymore, and that Uruguay definately doesnt have one, but that was the gas station closest to us growing up}that him and his freinds walked to to get drinks on a hot summer day, and so on. You get my point right? Our whole relationship has been on my "home turf". {And yes Diego could answer all the questions above about me!} We met in the neighborhood I grew up in. We bought a house 2 minutes from the house I was raised in. If we stay in this house our kids will attend the same schools I did. {Can you tell I dont like change?}
T.A.D.A. asked me where Diego is from.
He was raised in the Capitol of Cerro Largo {State}, Melo.
Diegos Madre still lives there so we will be staying in the house he grew up in! I cant wait to wander the streets and have him show me all the places he hung out at while he was growing up!

I am so excited you get to go and see where he grew up. I totally get what you are saying. My husband grew up in Guatemala and I have often thought the EXACT thoughts you wrote. Good for you! P.S. - I am totally thrilled I was "mentioned". Whoo!

That is so going to be so much fun seeing everything about his life. But I feel you on the change, look at me we bought the house I grew up in. Paxton will go to good old Altara.

So I just reread your post and laughed out loud at the part where you said are "practically brown so you can talk like this" my husband says it doesn't matter that I married to him, that I love the things he loves, that I find myself speaking spanish in everyday conversations, he says I can NEVER talk like that because I am still white and from Idaho. So....how can I be like YOU and be able to "talk like that?" :)
