The best day ever...for the Aguilar's

It is hard to imagine that we have been married for two months already. 
Here are a few pictures from our wedding. 
Everything turned out great and we are so thankful to all those who celebrated with us. 
I thank God for bringing us together. He truly knows best!!

Strike a pose {Engagement Pictures}

The whole wedding process has been an adventure and stressful at the same time. I am tired, but am excited as it gets closer to our big day!

We had our photos taken about 2 weeks ago and they turned out great! I just had to share.  Enjoy!

P.S. isn't Rene so handsome? I love this man to the moon and back!

Wedding Bells...for real this time!

Yup, you read right! I am getting MARRIED!!!
I can't believe it at times! It has been a whirlwind since we got engaged.

Rene surprised me on August 15 and asked me to marry him! I knew he had gotten our Pastors blessings and he had talked to my mom. I just didn't know when he would ask and he made it seem like he was going to wait some time before asking, which drove me crazy! HA!

 
Since our engagement, I have been very busy planning for our big day {January 2, 2016}. I am making all my centerpieces and using paper flowers instead of fresh flowers. Here is a sneak peak at my creations. My living room looks like a mess!!
 

 
I will try to post more often until the wedding! Stay tuned!

A year later...

I just happened to stumble across my blog post from last year and I just smile at how God has been good to me. See for yourself.

Meet Rene Aguilar, my boyfriend (Thank you, Mary!).

I finally found out why it never worked out before. God was saving me for this amazing man. Thank you, Jesus. This is the greatest love story and I owe it all to HIM.

Here comes the Bride...not!

It's been a while since I have written a blog post. Honestly, blogging takes too much work and I get lazy. However, as I was sitting in church last night the urge to blog hit me. Why? Because I have a story to share. 

This is a true story. It is my story. 

You may not believe it, but a little over 6 months ago I was planning to get married. Actually, the date I had in mind was this coming Saturday! Crazy, huh? And no, this is not a joke. 

To ease your mind of curiousness, I am not getting married this weekend, or anytime soon for that matter. 

So, here is how the story goes. 10 years ago I met this guy from another state while my mom was working over there. My family and I attended his church for about a year. He and I always had some kind of connection, but we were always just friends. We had an interesting friendship over the years.  Fast forward to 2013, he came to visit me and that is when things got serious and complicated. 

Why complicated? Well, he came from a church that had different standards than mine. Frankly, our standards and views were very opposite, and although we both knew this we still continued our romance. 

I completely fell in love with our "fairytale" story. I was charmed by a very good looking guy who played the piano very well. For the most part of 2013 I kept falling deeper and deeper for this guy despite the fact I knew this was a bad idea. And when he came to visit me last September all my better judgment went out the door. Things got serious quickly and wedding plans were in the works. I had fallen in love and it was a done deal. I was going to marry the love of my life and start a new life in a new place. 

My new life was all planned out and I was getting excited to be a wife. However, God had other plans. Just a week before I was to visit him for Thanksgiving, my Pastor and I had a heart to heart. He looked at me and told me to end my relationship because after 3 weeks of praying he didn't feel that it was right. I cried. Wept. My heart broke into pieces. I was in so much pain, but I knew what I needed to do. I ended things and it was one of the hardest things I had to do. I had so much invested in him and I really wanted to marry him. 

Fast forward to 2014, my heart is almost 100% healed. Do I miss him? Yes. Do I regret obeying the man of God? No. I do not see everything right now, but I know God saved me. He loves me enough to intervene and I am thankful for that. 

I don't know who will read this or if it will help someone else, but I had to write this...to complete my healing process. I am not proud of this journey, I really should have known better. But life is all about learning and growing, and I surely did learn and grow! 

I just turned 28. I do not know when I will be married, or if I ever will. But I do know God has my life in His hands and He knows best. I have to trust Him completely. I am working on that. 

Proverbs 3: 5-6

Happy Monday!

A day in the life...

I've been so busy the past few weeks...work, school, church, and just life!!

Here's a peek at my exciting life (HA!):

Legal Assistant by day and student by night.

I try to save a buck. Coupons are my bestfriends.

I'm always excited when I stumbled across a good book.

I take pictures of tourist. LOL. My mom and aunt conquering SF's hills.

I play with cute babies.

I attempt to cook. Chili and cornbread. It was good!

I enjoy watching the season change. LOVE fall!

I  do good deeds when I can. My friend's car died.

This is what I do on Saturdays.

She's a bottle lady!

Just call me the bottle lady. 
My second job is to collect bottles and cans. 
 
So, I wasn't joking about collecting bottles to pay off my criminal ways! I have been saving bottles for some time now and yesterday I  recycled them. I had plans to put the money I would make in my savings BUT now that I am pretty much owned by the State of California the money will go towards my tickets.
Sad.  

An Abundance of bottles and cans


Can anyone take a guess on how much I got for all these bottles?
