Our First Anniversary!!!

I can't believe a year has quickly come and gone. Today a year ago I was walking down an aisle, exchanging vows, and partying my socks off. I wonder does this now mean that just because I am a year in, I am no longer a newlywed? Some may say yes and others may so no, but I say you are a newlywed as long as you like, I guess it really just depends on your attitude and the way you look at it. I am thankful for a wonderful year of marriage and for the all positive and not so positive things that my husband and I may have encountered. I am thankful for him, for who he is, and for all he does. So what do you do on a first year anniversary? Well I like to consider myself a traditional girl, and being so we participated in the tradition of celebrating the first year of marriage by eating our top layer of our year old wedding cake. Now this may sound gross, but quite the contrary its all about how you wrap and store it. My wonderful sister-in-law Taty did a great job with this little project, she must of wrapped in saran wrap 100 times followed by aluminum foil and another 100 layers of saran wrap. Whoever said year old cake is horrible obviously did not store it right. Why so many layers of wrappings you may ask, well the reason is to prevent freezer burn and lock in the freshness. Anyhow the cake tasted great to me and everyone else who had it! I am just glad there was enough for everyone!! We chose to celebrate our actual anniversary date with our family and next week we will celebrate by going on a little trip to Chicago.

Good Morning!!!

Its 7:27 on a Saturday morning!! I usually wake up early! For some reason my body is built that way, but today is different. The weather has been pretty cold over here in Miami and it is something we are not really used to, but I love it!!! I am looking out the porch and can see how cold, dreary, and ugly it is outside. You might wonder why on earth am I up so darn early on a Saturday? Well for the past few nights my husband and I have shut off the air and have been sleeping with the windows open and taking advantage of the cool air. If you know my Husband you would understand why we do this. I swear he is a polar bear because my apartments a/c is always set to arctic temperatures. Anyhow as you can imagine that sleeping with the windows open you hear outside noises that you would not usually even notice if your windows were closed. So this morning the sanitation collection decided to it usually thing, and pick up our buildings waste. Oh of course they had no consideration for the fact that I am sleeping with my windows open and they must be quite to try not to wake me up ::sarcasm::. So due to the lovely noise I am up, and once I am up, I am up!!!! Watch out though you may find me past out in front of the T.V. by 9:00pm. I am an early riser and because of that I am also early to bed. Happy Saturday Everyone!!!

Goodbye Christmas!!!

I realize Christmas ended 12 days ago, but my tree has still been up until today. Fernan and I finally decided to take it all down! Can I just say it is really fun putting it all up, but not so fun taking it all down!!! I think we are going to invest in a fake tree next year because the mess our Fraser Fir left behind was ridiculous!!! Fernando is still trying to take off all the tree sap from his hands!!! I am sad to see it all go, but thankful for the free space our apartment has to offer now!!

Sofia's Baptism

Let me just say that this little lady is one very LOVED little lady! Today is important day in little Sofia's life, today her Parents, Godparents, Grandparents, Family & Friends presented her before God. Today Sofia got baptized! Baptism is the first step towards discipleship, and I pray that she always seek the will of God! Thankfully she has an amazing family to guide her along the way!

Everyone who came to see Sofia get Baptized...well almost everyone!!!

Miami Lakes Festival of Lights 2009

One thing I love about living in Miami Lakes is that it seems as though everything is in walking distance, or perhaps I feel that way because I actually live on Main Street. Anyhow tonight was the Miami Lakes Festival of Lights and it was such a nice family event, with live music all down the street. There is nothing that puts you in the Christmas spirit than Christmas Carols and cold weather at least for us here in Florida. I know Puchie enjoyed her little walk down Main Street with all the people just as much as Fernan and I did.

Sofia's First Halloween

First I want to start out by saying Happy Halloween!!! Today some of my family and I took Baby Sofia to her first pumpkin patch! What would be more appropriate than to take her dressed as a pumpkin! Can I just say she is the cutest pumpkin I have ever seen! Not only did Sofia go as a pumpkin but my little dog Puchie went as well!
