hello everyone i wanted to make one extra video this week because i just had the idea to share
a little bit about the people that mean so much to me and consequently a little bit of my life
outside of these videos and i find my husband and my mother and my grandmother to be people
that really inspire me and always help me feel better when i'm not at my best and so i wanted
to just add this little video in as just something extra feel free to skip this for next week for my
more usual content but yeah it was just an idea i had and and i thought it would be really lovely to
kind of chat with some people that i love and share a little bit about them with you

york right when what age were you i was 22 22. and what was your experience like there
it was very challenging i didn't know english
when i arrived it was very hard for me to learn english because i was living in a hispanic
community so i joined the navy reserve because i i thought going away and and being
immersed in english speaking culture and people and and environment will help me even though there
were a lot of traumatic experiences it also made me grow and i learned so much be more self-reliant

before you accepted my invitation yeah kept thrilling a little while yeah we yeah we went to
a lake for our first date called cutthroat lake and i mentioned it to my sister and she felt like

nothing horrible happened nope you tried to get me to jump into the water i did and i refused
there's still snow around the lake too yeah glacial temperature water
is not my fault i couldn't get her to go for it three years later i still haven't been able to no
