We had a 6:30 AM World Cup party for the Chile vs. Honduras game at my parents' house with as many Chileans from Nashville as we could get together. Chile won their first WC game in 48 years, and their first WC game ever out of the country. Passionate cheering and coffee were abundant:
see Javier in the back with his Chupete mask? He made that of his favorite player Humberto Suazo.

On Wednesday afternoon Javier, Paula, my parents and gma and I all drove up to Louisville and spent the evening grilling out with my brother, his girlfriend Andrea and my aunt and uncle Marian and Stephen.

On Thursday, we went to Churchill Downs because my dad won a drawing for a day in a box and a free meal for 6 in the Turf Club - which was awesome! So we spent the whole day living it up in the air conditioned Turf Club and then betting on horses.

My dad insisted on getting his hand in this picture so I could document for my father-in-law Pancho (whose birthday was yesterday) that my dad was drinking '4 dedos' (fingers) of cerveza in his honor. And by the way my mom is a total babe.
So yeah, it's been a pretty busy week! and this weekend is even busier - we drove back from Nashville today and tomorrow we have TWO weddings! In the morning I'm shooting Melody and Rafael's wedding (get excited! it's going to be beautiful!) and tomorrow night I'm singing for my good friends Josh and Sandy in their wedding on a rooftop downtown. Doesn't get much better than that! Happy weekend!
