It's only appropriate to fill in the last few months leading up to where I am now.
Meet VicTOR
During the first few days when I thought nobody spoke english, out of the trees comes this kid
We started chatting it up everyday as I did my rounds. (he had alot of bruising so I had to be there alot)
One day I was getting alot of crap from one of the pickers about how 'bonita' I was and blah blah and Victor was like 'I'll take care of it. I'll say you're my girlfriend and tell him to leave you alone.'
And that was that. It worked!
Oh did I mention most of his family worked there too!?
They were amazing. I ended up calling his parents suegro and suegra (mother in law and father in law) while they called me daughter in law. I think I mentioned this earlier but they did not speak any english. Haha! It was fun and hard. His mom showed me how to make tortillas and always send some food with the boys for me too. Yum.
Oh and his like 3 brothers and 2 cousins. They were awesome and we still talk every once in a while!
This is Marianna. A super good friend who I met working. She suggested we go on a double date!
Here we are with Victor and Julio her husband. Awww
We dated for most of the season (yes my boss knew) but ended up going our own ways after harvest.
It's always sad when that happens but we all had a great time and I wouldn't take back any of it.
