Last night we had a dinner party at chez moi (that's French for my house.) Family is very important to me and I truly regret the fact that while I was studying in Miami, only a very select few got the chance to meet my parents and/or brothers. I've always said that if I had studied in Honduras, or if my family had been living with me in Miami while I went to university, my collegiate experience would've been very different. Furthermore, I really would've liked to have shared with my friends this aspect of my life - I think it would've helped them get a better sense of my lifestyle and why I am the way that I am. But alas, it was not possible. So, I decided to share some of the pictures from last night, in hopes that you can all get a better idea of what it means to have a Bandy family celebration (and also to motivate you to come visit me, hehe. ) My family is fun, and although we're Hispanic, we like to keep it classy! ;)
And the food was to die for, if I may say so myself. The menu for the night:
Appetizers: sauteed mushrooms, tomato bruschettas, Asiago cheese, and salmon carpaccio.
Entree: Premium ribeye steaks with baked potatoes and salad.
Desserst: Blueberry flan, brownies, and lemon squares.

Always gonna be daddy's little girl. :)
Candid!

We're a Middle Eastern family - no reunion would be complete without a hookah! Hehe
I'm gonna marry the night, I won't give up on my life. I'm a warrior queen, live passionately tonight...
