Our guest from the past - part 2.

I didn't get to tell our best "Wade" story, so here goes.

We moved to Mexico City where Lane was going to be running a company called DSL.  Troy was running the office at the time, and Wade was doing an internship.  They lived in a little apartment like 3 blocks from the office.  They found us one for rent in the same building, just down a floor.  So all the guys worked together and we played together.  (Though they weren't married, so they really played!  We were boring married people. :)

Anyway, Troy and Wade were my only friends and English speakers around at the time. 

Well, I had started having nausea issues, and smells were really bothering me.  Like Lane and Wade would come home and make lunch, and eat a bunch of Hot Tamales candy, and I couldn't stand the smell of them!  I seriously wanted to puke smelling it, which was weird because I love Hot Tamales!  After a few weeks of feeling weird, I started to wonder if somehow, someway I was pregnant.  (For reasons I will spare you all, this would be somewhat of a miracle.)  Finally, one day I couldn't take it any more - I had to know.

We had lived there 3 weeks and my Spanish consisted of maybe 10 or 20 words, and wrong verb conjugations.  Lane was on a trip that day and wasn't getting home until around 10 that night.  I walked over to the pharmacy, and asked for a pregnancy test.  (I had looked up in the dictionary how to say it).  I got home and of course did what you need to do (pee on the stick).  Here's where the problem arose.  The instructions were all in Spanish, and I obviously didn't know what they were saying.  Does 1 line mean pregnant?  Or is it 2?   Not knowing what the result was, I did what any responsible 23 year old in a foreign country did.  I went upstairs and asked my two bachelor neighbors to please read the test and tell me which one means what!  They read the instructions to me, and sure enough I was pregnant!  

So, I guess the funny thing (to us) is that Wade goes down in history as the first person to know I was pregnant! :)  I'm sure he will never forget that.  Ha! 

Since it has been so long since we saw Wade, we had to take some pictures.  (Too bad I had already run my 6 miles this morning and was getting ready for tennis - so please forgive the scary look for me! :)
