๐Ÿ˜Š Personal Milestones

"Sobremesa": Felipe hosted the โ€˜Sobremesaโ€™ event at Estancia Brazilian Steakhouse ๐Ÿš€

Aleja: I went to Orlando with my husband!! It was his first time at the parks, so the experience was a total WOWWW!! We visited the new EPIC park and I even ran into MeliBโ€™s sister there. We had the most amaaazing time!! ๐ŸŽขโœจ

Agus: My boyfriend and I traveled to Tulum to celebrate our birthdays. We visited the cenotes, enjoyed amazing food, and explored the Mayan ruins. Such an incredible getaway! ๐Ÿ™Œโค๏ธ

Ems: Last Sunday, I made my acting debut! It definitely wasn't on my bingo card for this year ๐Ÿ˜… , but it was an amazing experience. My mom's choir, the longest-running choir in the Nikkei community, celebrated its 50th anniversary with a special concert at a local theatre. As part of the concert, they wanted to add some actind bids to have a running storyline. So, they asked me to play the elementary school teacher who forms a young choir. I must have played the part well because a few of the kids actually thought I was a real teacher and would ask me for permission to go to the bathroom. It was so much fun!

Den: Last week we celebrated Paltaโ€™s ๐Ÿฅ‘ birthday โ€” my fur baby โ€” who turned 3! We baked her a carrot cake (her favorite veggie). Sheโ€™s also part of the Tecla Team, although she usually takes naps during work hours and is convinced that lunchtime is just playtime. Happy birthday, Paltisss! ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŽ‰
