Wonderful Saturday Evening

Check out my big bro, the President of The Latin American Police Association.
My family and I celebrated with him at the annual LAPA banquet last night at the Lexington House.

I was so proud of him and how hard he's worked to get to where he is now. My family and I watched with pride as he was introduced by Anita Padilla to give the president's speech. He inspired me in so many ways...mostly in work ethic. I've always been a hard-worker, but I need to kick it up a notch to make a name for myself like my big brother.

The program had letters to my brother from people like Lisa Madigan and the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County as well as pictures of my brother (looking mighty goofy) with many of his distinguished comrades.

My mom opened the book, saw a picture of her son, and beneath his name, the word President, and she started to cry. My papa beamed with pride.

I thought, that must be the shit. To watch your children reach the top after all the sacrifices you made for them has got to be one of the most amazing things to ever experience.

Anywho, the banquet was very fun, and my brother Luis and I made sure to keep the open bar busy (yahoooo free Miller Lite!)

We had a wonderful meal, we had drinks, and LOTS of laughs (especially when the Frank Sinatra impersonator serenaded me,) and when Sandra and I started slow claps....hehehehe it was pretty damn funny.

After the banquet, it was BBQ time with my buds! Good weekends make my feet happy.
WHAT? Shut up.
