Goodbye August Hello September!!!

Can you believe how quickly the month of August has gone by? Time is flying and tomorrow will be the first day of September, my birthday! Whoo-hoo!!! September is a big month for my family, not because I will be 26, but because we will be having a new addition to the family this month!! At the end of this week Veronica will be 36 weeks pregnant, which means she can pretty much go at any time, actually she can pretty much go now!!! I am praying that she does not give birth while Fernando and I are in San Francisco this weekend, if she does I will be absolutely crushed!!! I can't wait to meet Baby Ferro and I am hoping this little bun stays in the oven at least until September 9th!

Hillsong Conference 2009 - Encounter

This weekend several friends and I attended the Hillsong Encounter Conference 2009 at the University of Miami. I don't even know where to begin in describing the past two days!!! I pray that those who attended were truly blessed, I know I was!!! This was not a concert, but if it was it was the best one I have ever been to. I have never seen or encountered so many people worshiping God in my life! I pray that God do great things in this city that we live in, and open our eyes to things unseen and to hurting world that needs us!

Day 1

Day 2

Twenty Eight (28)

This year my husband turned 28, as awful as this sounds I really wanted him to turn 29 so that I can begin to plan and strategize for next year, which would be his 30th birthday, but he is only 28 which means I still have to wait another two years before planning a big 30th birthday bash!

Even though his birthday was not until Monday (the 24th) we began celebrating Friday night with our families at Grazino's in the Gables, we had an awesome time and the service was excellent! Our waiter was delightful and even gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne. It was our first experience here and I highly recommend this restaurant, we even saw Lili (El Gordo y La Flaca) and Emilio Estefan having dinner there as well. After dinner we went to a local lounge and just hung out, the dj was playing some really old school music, I mean really old school. It made me think back to 8th grade old school.

"♪ It's tiiiiiiime bassss is gonna blow your mind ♪ "

lol!

Anyhow the rest of the weekend we spent with some friends, and I took my honey out for a special dinner on Monday (his actual birthday) at Ruth Chris which he was not expecting since we are suppose to be saving for our trip. I caught him completely off guard!

While at dinner, our families waited for us in our apartment to surprise him with a cake when we got home! He had no clue, when we got home the door was left unlocked and my husband thought someone had robbed our apartment, but to his surprise it was only our family!

It's his day!!!

Happy Birthday Honey!!

Look out for some surprises and a great day!!!

I love you!!

-your wife =)

Hillsong in Miami!!!

They are here, our Hillsong Conference 2009 tickets!! We ordered them several months ago and today we finally got them!!! I am so excited!!! I can't wait 'till Friday!!! I have been listening to them all week, morning, noon, and night!!

Fantasy Football "09"

Once again it is the commencement of a new football season, people are beginning to gather, pre-season games are well underway, Sunday Barbecues are being planned, and others are preparing for their fantasy drafts! Ahh I love football!!! Today was our annual fantasy draft; a league in which I have participated in for the last three years!!! Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of our actual draft, but my picks are as follows (not in this order):

• Tom Brady (QB)
• Anquan Boldin (WR)
• Brylon Edwards (WR)
• LaDainian Tomlinson (RB)
• Reggie Bush (RB)
• Jason Witten (TE)
• Antonio Bryant (WR)
• Ryan Grant (RB)
• Anthony Gonzalez (WR)
• Tim Hightower (RB)
• Kevin Walter (WR)
• Julius Jones (RB)
• Chester Taylor (RB)
• Matt Schaub (QB)
• Darrius Heyward-Bey (WR)
• Nick Folk (Kicker)
• Philadelphia (Defense)
• Will Blackmon (Defensive Player)

Tom Brady was my first pick last year, stupid I know to pick a QB so early on in the draft, and of course he happens gets injured in the 2008 season opener, just my luck!! I got a great deal of grief for that pick last year, but I highly doubt something like this will happen again, so I decided to give him another whirl!! Looking on the bright side to his injury if he never would have gotten injured I may have never had the opportunity to have met him in Mexico!!! He probably would have been preparing for the Superbowl!

Miami Spice

It's that time of year again...Miami Spice 2009! In the months of August through September Miami's best restaurants offer 3 course meals for a $22.00 lunch and a $35.00 dinner. Although that may sound expensive to some it's really a great price compared to the the regular menu of these restaurants. I am hoping to at least visit two of the participating restaurants this year, but since Fernando and I are going to San Fran, that may be out of the questions...we have to save for our trip!!! Two restaurants I have my eye on this year are: Meat Market, and Kobe Club. Hopefully the portions are not so small as some of the restaurants we have visited in the past, so beware if you plan on doing a Miami Spice dinner. I know I want a dinner menu not a tasting menu!

My Birthday came early this year!

So once again I come home to find this on my dinning room table, mind you my birthday is not until September 1st.

I of course ask my husband what this black birthday bag is all about? He tells me to open it and find out. I open the bag to find a card and a small paper folded up with a note that says "Open me to see your gift".

I unfold the paper to find a picture of this:

That's right people we are going to San Francisco Labor Day weekend!! I am sooooo excited!!!

RCM

Last night was such a fun night! RCM Band was asked to play at another local church for there annual youth week, and we happily agreed. It was such a blessing and great to see such young people excited for God. I pray that God may continue to use us!!!

Vero's Baby Shower!!!

This weekend was Veronica's Baby Shower, and what a beautiful shower it was!! Everything was just so perfect and pretty in pink! I want to start by saying that Michelle Capo from Two Girls and a Card Shoppe did an awesome job with the invitations and all the decorations.

Tell me these are not the cutest baby shower invitations you have ever seen!
