Married

On Friday, September 28, 2012, Billy and I got married. We had a small, family-only ceremony at the Old Orange County Courthouse in Santa Ana followed by a dinner at Tangerine Grill & Patio in The Anabella Hotel in Anaheim. It was perfect.

My wedding gown is from David's Bridal and it is the GALINA Style WG3381. I love everything about this dress; the look, the feel, the material, the fit - it was perfect! I used David's Bridal fit and flare slip/petticoat to accentuate the mermaid style and let me say, the fit and flare really brought life to the dress! 

I will do a follow-up on our vendors another time because I have nothing but wonderful things to say and share.

It has been a long time since I last posted but I have been very happy :)

Family Photos

Some photos I wanted to post before I left for Dublin. I have a slew of pics from my cousin's grad party and others I'll post when I get a chance. Couple of pics of my nieces Jenalyn and Lily (Baby L) and my brother, Ricky.

Sad Sad Day :(

July = SAD SAD SAD 

I can't believe my Uncle Bob is gone. I was just with him and he was totally fine. I still have all these feeling of hurt, shock, sadness and closure I can never have. I missed out on everything that happened and when I come home, it's like he just isn't there anymore and I'll never see him again.  His funeral service was yesterday at the Glendale Forest Lawn. I'm going to miss him sooooo much. And I wasn't able to be there with my family. The reality is that he has passed and is buried now, but I wasn't there to witness anything so it's difficult to come to grips with. And I am so far away from my family. I will him soooo much. 

My cousin Jessica asked me if I wanted to write something last week on behalf of my cousins that she would read for me since I couldn't be there. I wanted to share my eulogy but I will need to change the extension first so that I can upload it. Thank you Jessica for your strength in reading the eulogy and paying tribute to our uncle and for representing our family. I know how difficult it must have been but you did an amazing job.
