It's Here, It's Here!!!!

February 28, 2012

Our wedding video has finally arrived. I am thrilled! There are no words to explain how much happiness I'm feeling.

This is one of the songs in our video and exactly how I'm feeling right now :)

My day started like any other. A long and boring night at work. Followed by 2 hours in my morning class where I may or may have not dozed off a bit. A grumbling stomach. And a 30 minutes drive back home.

When I get home I usually like to stay in my car for a little. My car is my "me zone" that's my bubble. As soon as I park in the driveway I stay in my car sometimes just relaxing. Other times I talk on the phone, browse the web, shop, blog, nap, or cry my heart out. That's my time to disconnect myself from the world for a few minutes for me, to analyze my life. This morning it just happened that I was in my car catching up on Facebook. When I saw the mailman I didn't think nothing of it.

About 15 minutes later he was still there and my iPhone rang. It was the hubby. He asked where I was. That I had a package and the mailman wouldn't leave it unless I signed for it. I told him ok that I'll be right there. I wondered what it could of been since I wasn't really expecting nothing big like that. So I come out and apologize to the mailman. We exchanged a few words and I quickly glanced at the package to see where it came from. It literally took 2 seconds. As soon as I saw the GT logo I was in cloud nine :D I couldn't believe it had arrived so fast. They told me it was going to be mailed on Monday so I wasn't expecting it till at least Wednesday. But I wasn't complaining no sir I was not. I went inside and contemplated about waiting for the hubs to come home to open it. Yea it didn't work out like that. I didn't have to think about it twice. He wasn't going to feel the same way I felt about a DVD anyways so I unwrapped that baby. Lol

The package was nicely wrapped. The little gifts, candy/popcorn, we're so cute and thoughtful. I called Steven right away and asked what time he was coming home from work. In the meantime the whole Facebook, twitter, and instagram knew what was happening in Pamela's world. Hey what can I say :)

About 2 hours later, what seemed to be a whole 8 more months when Steven arrived home, he barely got a chance to open up the peanuts M&Ms when the wedding video popped up in the TV screen. It was the best day I've had since 2012 started. I laughed, smiled a lot!, and cryed... also a lot. Tears of joy of course. I've dreamed of reliving our wedding day for months now and that day had finally arrived. You can't even begin to imagine my excitement. Not even Steven could of related to how much joy I was feeling inside and out. The video was more than what I expected. I feel so blessed to have crossed paths with these wonderful people that today I call my friends. I will certainly recommend them to everyone I know and will be using them again for sure.

Caritza and Gabriel you guys have made me a very very very happy bride/wife. I cannot thank you enough. I wish you both the very best in life. We love ya!

Here are some pictures of my happy moments open my, our package.

Road Trip/ VA Beach GTG

February 21, 2012

Friday, after I got out of work I finished getting all packed up and after dropping off my son at my mother's, I started my hour drive down to Philadelphia to meet up with some friends I had made while planning my wedding on The Knot. There are a total of 18 girls and after our weddings we kept in touch. Back in the summer of last year one of the girls found out that she was expecting her first child and we decided that closer to her due date those who were able were going to take a weekend trip down to VA beach, where she lives for a get together (GTG). February couldn't come fast enough. I was super excited to meet some of the girls I talk to on a daily basis but had never met in real life (IRL) with the exception of one who happens to live an hour away from me and who I've had the pleasure of meeting twice :)

And so my awesome weekend began. Three of us were meeting up in Philly and two more were driving down from Connecticut and Massachusetts and were going to make a quick stop along the way to pick us (3) up. After a few wrong turns and an hour wait we finally met and started the drive to Maryland to meet up with 3 more girls and spend the night.

The drive to MD was longer then expected due to traffic caused by an accident. I ended up falling asleep because I had worked the night before and hadn't slept all day. Finally around 11:30ish pm we arrived. There the awesome girls had dinner waiting for us. On the menu they had salad, corn, rolls, and homemade crab cakes yum! After our late dinner we headed to our assigned homes for the night.

The next morning we all meet at the home were I had slept at and ate a delicious breakfast made by Amanda, the house owner. We got in our cars and again started the drive to Virginia. The drive was right under 4 hours and we made it by 11ish am. The baby shower started around 2pm and it was awesome! Brandi, the mommy-to-be, got great gifts from us all and from those girls who couldn't make it. We also got surprised by one of the girls who flew east from Arizona. That was such a sweet touch, I wasn't expecting it. I hoped it but wasn't expecting it at all. After a few games, laughs, food, pictures, and talks 8 of us headed down to the boardwalk to check in to our hotel. Later that night we went out for dinner at a Mexican restaurant and hen back to Brandi's for more pictures and some wine :)

The next morning we met for breakfast, which was delicious by the way, and then we said our goodbyes. It was a great weekend and although we spent the majority of it on the road it was better then I expected it to be. The ride back home was fun. We talked, stopped like 3 times for bathroom breaks and junk food snacks, and saw interesting things along the way. It took us about 5 hours to get to Chery Hill, NJ and by 7:15pm I was home.

I'm happy that the hubs was okay with me going away to spend the weekend with total strangers, sort of. It was a well needed time-away-from-home with just girls. Now I'm looking forward to next weekend's girls night with my home girls and my weekend getaway with the hubs in early March. In the meantime check out some of the pictures of this weekend taken by Brea, one of the MD girls.
