From Dawn: We became friends over Pozole and remained friends thanks to Pit Bull (inside joke). Josh's final year of high-school, the Lord brought me one of the most amazing people ever! In a short time we became inseparable, she picked up my kid, fed him, and opened her house to us for half a month before we left for Florida. She is "muy padre" and, oh yeah, she made the cake! (still wish it were Tres-Leches though). From Miriam: It was a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon in Indiana. I can still see the little red barn. A group of students had gather to have the annual chili picnic from the school our kids where attending. That was the day I meet the other me.A beautiful crazy lady that loved Mexican food. I can't thank God enough for bringing her into my life.
