Only took an eternity for me to get out and try crossfit with Kristi. Not too bad for my first time and having not lifted for decades hahaha #fitfam #whywaitfor2017 @baywaycrossfit (at Bayway Crossfit)

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time out of their day to tell me happy birthday yesterday 💘 I was showered with love and very kind words I will never forget. Thank you from the bottom of my heart I love y'all :') #21

God's gotta plan for me. He and mom are workin' miracles because I found out this week I got into the University of Texas. Come January I'll be in Austin gettin my degree on just like mom wanted. I've been feeling extra sad lately but when I think about this and especially how I found out.. I smile and feel a little better. Thank you to everyone who has helped me on this journey and have given me the confidence to believe I can achieve something like this. Two and half years ago I never thought I would. 💘 #hookem

We laid you to rest today and I hope I've made you the proudest woman. I'm sure our family has already. I will try my hardest to continue to do so.. but it's gonna be so hard and you'll need to help me through it. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the support, prayers, palabras muy bonitas, las flores, your comforting hugs and kisses, mensajes, your presents and presence, for opening up your spaces for us to come and talk/laugh/cry, your calls, tissues, and most importantly your love. I appreciate every single bit from the bottom of my heart. I love you woman and will miss you so. 🌹

I had so much exposure to yucca while in Costa Rica and told myself I would try to prepare some as soon as I found some here in the states. Today was the day!! Found some yucca root at the local grocery store and guess where they came from.... COSTA RICA. They're a little more on the toasty side but that's okay haha. PURA VIDA 🤓 #yucca #yuccafries #thingstodowithyucca #costarica #travelingpants #pantsarehomenow #nostalgicpants hahahah

If I had done nothing all summer it would be okay as long as I had a chance to check out some cool places around here. Today was the day! And class was cancelled too! Let's see what I get into next 🤓 thank u kayla for coming with me haha u rock!!!!!!!!!!! (at Lake Houston Wilderness Park)

I've spent so much time thinking. So much time in baby tears to waterfalls of them. It's crazy to have known a person your whole life for God to take them home in just a moment. Many people have had the luxury of knowing all of their grandparents and being able to share precious memories with them. I've only known my Wela. And for a short time of 20 years. I'm grateful for that. Her jokes will stay with me. Her voice. Her old lady cuteness. Only regret I have is not sitting down with her to get her story from her. I'll have to resort to others now. I try to see her everyday, to check on her and make sure she's okay. I hope she's okay. She's in a better place. I just miss her.

Good morning 🤓 (at Fred Hartman Bridge)

Went to town on some dark chocolate made from a Mayan organic farm down in Toledo - a district in Southern Belize. #bitter #betterbelizeit #travelingpants #belizeanfoods #cynthiatakesbelize #grateful (at Ambergris Caye Island, San Pedro, Belize (Central America))

Was caught in action reading aloud from a classmate's book over one of the ancient Mayan Ruins we were about to see that day. #travelingpants #betterbelizeit (at Belize, Central America)

Conquered some Mayan Ruins today! #travelingpants #betterbelizeit (at Lamanai Ruins In Belize)

First meal here in Belize! Stewed chicken with rice and beans, potato salad, and fried plantains #belize #travelingpants #foodie #belizeanfoods (at Belize City, Belize)

It's honestly unfair that I get my mom a bouquet of flowers when she deserves a field of them the size of Texas and so much more. Happy Mother's Day to all the hot mommas especially this gem right here 💘

Last full day in Costa Rica ☹️ Not sure if I'm really ready to be home yet.. Actually I'm not ready to be home yet. At least I got to spend this last day zip lining by the Arenal Volcano and shopping in La Fortuna (the cutest little town) I love it here 💘 #travelingpants #costarica #volcanarenal #tamusoltis #citysquare (at En La Fortuna De San Carlos)
