Tonight I made the mistake of dipping a tea packet in lemonade because I thought it was hot water as I was talking to my family. The family laughed at me and Marta said I was probably thinking about my boyfriend. When I told them I didn’t have one she said she would look for one for me. I had heard a comment earlier involving me and a boyfriend, but this was the first time I had been told up front that they were interested in finding me one. I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to get me to date Andres, but they probably think he is too young for me. And so it begins…

Today Andres was a bit distracted and was staring off into space most of the day. Marta kept joking to me that he was thinking about his novia all day. He kept looking away and blushing, so we kept picking at him since he didn’t deny anything. Later in the day after the political rally he joked that it was a girl from Tzununa. It has become a fun joke among the family to say one is distracted by their novio whenever they make a simple mistake.
