I'm back.....




Hi everyone, Yes, I know it's been a long long time since I've blogged anything. So much has happened in these past months. My life has changed and taken a new direction. I am now a wife and mother of a 13 year. God has blessed me with a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter.
Let's see where do I start........my hubby Benny and I were married on May 3rd and my wedding day was absolutely perfect.






We spent the first part of our honeymoon in a cabin in Running Springs. It was nice being secluded for the first few days.

Half way through our honeymoon we came home for one night, had dinner with our daughter and then drove to Santa Barbara to see Michael Buble' talk about ROMANTIC. It's funny because Benny bought our tickets 2 months before not knowing that we would be on our honeymoon the week of the concert. Yes, you read it right...we planned our wedding in less than two months. We actually planned our wedding in a few weeks. Let me tell you how.....Benny and I are so blessed to have amazing friends and family that pretty much did everything for us. I'm happy to say that I didn't do much and by the grace of God everything turned out exactly how I wanted it. To start off we had a male wedding planner--thanks Gus aka G-LO and heading up the decorations was Amber and her fearless crew--way too many names to mention but you know who you are and we will forever be indebted to you all for all you did for us. You made our day so special and unforgettable. I cant forget my maid of honor, Griz and Benny's best man Eddie who helped get us through till the very end. Then there's our wedding party-Marysol, Marie, Larissa, Gary, James, Gus and Vic, our nephew Ruben who was the cutest ring bearer, and we had the prettiest little flower girls Isabelle and Jaylee. I also want to give a special thanks to my friend Jeanette who along with my bridesmaids planned the most heart warming bridal shower. She unfortunately wasn't able to make it to my wedding she was off somewhere giving birth to her beautiful baby girl Mary. =) I also want to thank my momma and mother in law for being there to support us in presence and in prayer. Thank you mom and Nancy! Sorry but I had no idea this blog would turn into a thank you speech. So let me go on there's more. I want to thank my totally gifted make up artist and friend Paulina. Thank you for hooking me up. I would also like to thank Emily for the beautiful flowers and Patsy for the delicious cake.
Lastly I would like to thank our photographer Allison. The first two pictures on this blog post were taken by her. She is extremely talented and I was blessed to have her document our day. Check out her blog.


Here is a slideshow that she put together for us.

I'm sure I'm forgetting someone......sorry!! May God bless you all.
