And so shall 2011. This year has definitively been a roller coaster for me with unexpected turns and twists but is has been a great year. I married the love of my life, became an aunt for the second time, have gotten to know and met wonderful people that will hopefully become lifelong friends and lost a few friends that...

Today we celebrated the birthday of the greatest man in history, Jesus. He had no servant yet they called him master. He had no degree yet they called him teacher. He had no medicine yet they called him healer. He had no army yet kings feared him. He won no military battles yet he conquered the world. He committed no...

"There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not bridge, no wall that enough love will not throw down, no sin that enough love will not redeem... It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook,...

May you have a blessed and happy day. I'm thankful for having you as a mother and I'm sorry for any trouble I might have cause you growing up. You're my best friend. Thank you for always being there for me. I love you!!! ...

Or at least according to my son she is lol. A little over 2 weeks ago my son lost his first tooth. He was so excited and so were we. We ended up putting money under his pillow, $7. When he checked under the pillow and saw that his tooth was gone and there was money instead he came out of his room screaming "Mami Mami...

Since my father's death. And I still seem not to be over it. I mean come on, is it really that easy to get over such a tragic phase in your life? For 13 years I've felt like part of me is missing. And in fact I am missing something. I'm missing the memories of a father & daughter talks, dances, boyfriend introductions,...

are our videographers. I just got a package in the mail from Gabriel and Caritza. They are the couple that recorded our special day for us and Caritza, the makeup artist, has done my makeup in several occasion. We got a Christmas card and a glass ornament that says "Our first Christmas as Mr. & Mrs." This was...

Christmas is my favorite holiday. Again I'm not too happy I'm not celebrating it in my own house this year either but I'm healthy and with my loved ones and that's enough for me. Let's just keep our fingers crossed for a Christmas of my own next year shall we ;) What kind of decorations do you have around your house?...

Last week as I was searching through Pinterest I stumble across this awesome idea. I followed the link that lead me to that blog and read more about it. I found it to be so cute and something that would be so much fun to take out in a few years, about 10 or so, to remember and laugh at the answers. It's funny because...

"The kind of marriage you make depends on the kind of person you are. If you are a happy, well-adjusted person, the chances are your marriage will be a happy one. If you have made adjustments so far with more satisfaction than distress, you are likely to make your marriage and family adjustments satisfactory. If you are...

How is your day going so far??? I actually slept all day until about 3ish. Mostly because I have to work tonight, a 12 hour shift. But more because we went out dancing last night with some friends then we did the usual and headed to the diner for breakfast after the club and we didn't go to bed until almost 4am, if not...

There's no bigger joy then watching your tiny newborn grow up throughout the days, months, and years. Watching him/her learn, being curious about the world, and changing your perspective of life. This post is dedicated to my precious baby boy that somehow with each passing day makes me love him more and more and everyday...

There's no such thing as "worrying" too much for you child's health or well being is there? I honestly don't think so. You never really realize how much your parents love you, care about you, and worry about you until you become a parent yourself. Agree or disagree? It breaks my heart every time my baby boy gets sick....

Boy is time flying! I can't believe today marks 4 months since our wedding day. Before you know it we will be at 6 months then 1 year. That's scary! ...

Over a year in the making and getting closer to the end. Yes. I'm half way through completing our wedding week recap over in "Wedding in Paradise". Its sad to say but like all things this too will come to an end. It's just a matter of time. So far I've made it to day 7. Now I will start talking about the actual wedding...

Well hello there. How is everyone doing this beautiful morning? I've been busy lately adjusting to my new life as a wife, new overnight job, a son in kindergarten, 2 challenging college courses, out of control sleeping pattern (+ weight gain), and staying sane. But believe it or not I'm handling all of this pretty darn...

For better or worse, For richer or poorer, In sickness and in health, To love and to cherish, Until death do us part. Those are some strong words if you ask me. Nevertheless those words mean a lifetime. Something I hope to achieve with my husband. p.s. "Love like you'll never get Hurt" ...

Do you know what that means? According to Dr. Google this means "Happy and Good Life Tips". A friend sent me this at work and I thought I'd share it. It was really sweet of her and I have to admit that I was touched by it. 1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. 2. Marry a man/woman you love to...

So this post is a bit overdo but hey, it's better late than never right? About 2 weeks ago my baby boy started school. I was so excited to see him go off to school and start his education, 2 weeks down 12+ years to go lol. However... this was an eye opener. My baby has officially stopped being a baby. When did...

How adorable is this precious little girl?! She's my pride and joy, my brother's baby girl. She was born last year on this date and we can't believe how time has flown by. She's such a brat! yet so charming. She sure knows how to steal your heart. And I love the relationship she and my son have. Whenever they're together...

More marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse. ~Doug Larson "I didn't married you because you were perfect. I didn't even married you because you gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults. And the promise I gave you made up for mine. Two imperfect...

I truly love my photographer. She did such an amazing job with all the pictures :) And she posted so many on her blog. It makes me feel special. Just click on the picture below and it will take you to her blog. Enjoy! TGIF! ...

Some people sure know how to bring someone down from cloud nine! Yesterday I left class early to go talk to an advisor about the application process to apply to the nursing program. I get there a few minutes early and the advisor I was meeting with told me to give her a few minutes that she will be right with me....

A few weeks ago I was reading a blog I follow. Sort of. In one of her posts she gave reference to a friend she has and she posted a link to that friend's blog. Me being like I am, clicked on the link and got so caught up on that other person's blog. That other person is Stacy, from Show and Tell Photography. I...

Umm... I'm not sure. I've been with the guy for 6 years and we've lived together for 5. Should it feel any different? lol That's what I feel like telling everyone when they ask me. I mean I get that we just got married and they expect us to say that it is different and honestly it does feel different. To me, personally,...

Hi, my name is Pamela! Welcome to my life as a newlywed. One month ago today I vowed to spend the rest of my life with an amazing, and very handsome, man. We have been together for 6 years now and we have a amazingly smart baby boy {although he's not a baby anymore, he just turned 5 on July 1st =)}  After the...
