This is my first time writing a blog and I am excited to start!
I remember seeing my older sister's blog but I always told myself that I would never be that "type" of person. Whatever that means. But after reading her last blog about Best Friends it hit me that I can write about whatever the hell I want! Thus starting "Thegovegang".I am in an interracial marriage with Jonathan Gove and couldn't be happier about it (Interracial couples rule! Don't agree? Let's fight about it.). He tells people that I told him that I was an undocumented immigrant after we got married and that the only reason I married him was for "papers". Oh how I love my husband! The truth is that I married him because I freaking love him with the passion of a million burning tortillas! And for those of you wondering, no I am not in this country illegally, I was born in the beautiful state of New Jersey in the city of Plainfield or the "Queen City" as it used to be known for. When I was two years old, my mom moved back to her native country, Guatemala, and we lived there for seven years. We came back to Plainfield in 2000 and have been there ever since, until January 2012 when I permanently moved out. Jonathan is from beautiful Encinitas, California. He was born and raised there (actually born in La Jolla but same general area). Our future human babies will hopefully have the same luck as Jon; be born and raised in Southern California.
I have two awesome sisters Sandra Pleites Laurentino and Thelma Pleites. I love them both so much! We all come from a wonderful hard working mother, Thelma, who means the world to all of us! Our father is a work in progress but I am sure he'll come around, who wouldn't with such awesome girls right?
