Day 2 Journey to Texas
We woke up at the hotel with the sun shining. We always take a day to rest from our journey from home to San Jose. Mom, unfortunately has all three of us lined up to see the dentist, Dr. Simon Mermelstein. You might remember the name, his wife Linda, was my first therapist when I was only 1 month old. Me and Dad were not to keen on the idea of having to go to the dentist on our relax day but then as they say Mom knows best!
I was first in the dentist chair, Simon said that I had really good hygiene and my teeth were looking good. When he stuck the sharp pointy object in my mouth to scrape off the plaque I was not the happiest of campers but I did rather well and only complained a little bit. I have no cavities! After my teeth were cleaned and sparkly white it was my mom’s turn. Dad was in the other room. My mom really does not care too much for the dentist and is always apprehensive. Thankfully I was there to hold her hand!
After we finished up we headed back to the hotel to finish packing. Maria Jose showed up later that evening. After dinner it was off to bed early as our day will start tomorrow at 4am. I am so excited about our journey.

Rachel, I have no idea if u remember me from way back “in the simple days” of Yoakum. I am older than u but we knew each other from our cheerleading days!
I haven’t lived in Texas for many years and when I returned I never tried to reach out to old friends. I used to be very good friends with Donald and – Ha! actually named my first son after Jesse because I wanted him to grow up rough and tough like him! Lol! Jesse has no idea about this…….so when my boy got the bullriding fetish I regretted all of my thoughts. Luckily we had became friends with a couple of other cowboys that offered to take my son under their wings to start teaching him. Long story short I dont know all the truth but my son (thank God) couldn’t always get with the guys for training and lost interest!
Back to u and ur family. Last year somehow Donald connected with me on face book but not in time for us to make plans for ur little angel’s benefit. I read ur blog and saw the pictures. I cried endlessly and prayed for 2 weeks as I shared the story with a couple of my friends.
No one seemed to understand, but it was probably because they never knew u or ur family and how much I felt that u must have to go through everyday to keep her healthy. It made me really give thanks for my 2 healthy hard headed boys!
My husband and I agreed that this year we would go to the benefit but just got the message yesterday. Could be our fault. I’m not sure. Because of the plans we were committed to already that we r trying to get out of we may or maynot be able to be there.
I would really love to see u and meet ur family. It has been on my mind since last year. I had contacted Jesse and Donald through facebook and told them to let me know ahead of time if there would be a benefit this year. Never heard from uncle Jesse but Donald did call me at a real inconvent time for him to just tell me he was busy and would call me back another time. Never heard back!
So girl, bless u all. Ur all lifted up in my prayers and we will somehow figure out to contribute too.
How in the world did u ever end up in Costa Rica????
