Maria aka Tata aka Melon needed help. Help moving heavy furniture up and down stairs...and there in the mix of friends and family...finally as Maria referred to her “the niece” aka “the chiropractor” aka “my favorite person on the planet” showed up....and.... we exchanged a look, a touch, a few words, a pan con bistec and...thats all it took...fireworks, excitement and inescapable love at first glance. But, wait, the plot thickens...8 long months....a mother in the bathroom...a stressed Maria...two children...a couple of crazy cubans....and it was ALL worth it......

We went to Connecticut to visit our dearest Sarah. Anais was tricked into going to NYC to see the Lion King. Unbeknownst to her, Jess had some extra special plans. She proposed in NYC, Central Park at the Imagine Mosaic...this after 40 long minutes of walking due to the Women’s march. Anais was cold, hangry and irritated but....so in love that...she said Yes!
