here's my response:

HOLA!
we're still here. my mom passed dec. before christmas and i am still feeling down.
goodthing my bro and cousin are here-keeps my mind-off a bit,keeps me sane.
and arend's been a handful as well. hehehe. he's 3! time flies, he was just 1 year old few months ago.hehehe.
miss you guys there. miss san antonio. i was thinking about how i hated that place since it's always hot and places to go to are far apart. well guess what! it's freezing cold here.
and i'm a mall rat. they have macy's and penny's but definitely no la cantera mall.
whah! i miss that freaking mall! it was just 5 minutes away from our place. here the decent mall is an hour away. and the nieman marcus and saks are like 3 hours away. i feel like i live in a deserted place. but anyways, our family always hangs out. what i've always wanted. we cook and eat a lot and drink. i'm gonna be following britney and lindsay lo in rehab. i'm may and i'm an alcoholic!!!
regards to all the people out there.miss you all.
regards to Liz. is she still practicing her english?
you guys are so much fun to work with. regards to my friend leonel too.
know what! where i work they don't hire guys, can you imagine how boring that is.
there are no good looking "manny"-like latino's here. whah!
i miss our 3 o'clock am hang outs to get margarita and nacho's right there at taco cabana in front of silverado's.
ok that's it! let me pack my bags and i'm coming back. hehehe!!!
love you guys.
