Our First Anniversary

Today Sonny and I celebrate our FIRST anniversary! I still can't believe a whole year has already past us. It seems like we got married only weeks ago. I guess the newly wed dust is somewhat still sprinkled on us. I went through all our photos from our day again and got all emotional. I mean seriously who doesn't go spastic looking at wedding photos?!

The year in review for us has had its highest of highs and lowest of lows. We had definitely learn much from each other and what our marriage means to us. It is beyond a relationship that can be define by words and if actions merit our love we have for each other than I would think we both get gold stars! I can't wait see what our next year will bring...

Dancing the night away.

Sonny may kill me for putting this up here but I just can't help myself! I am just so amazed by him everyday. We told each other we'd just make presents since we have been trying to save feverishly all year. Sonny totally out did himself with this one. I don't even know how he is going to ever give another gift to me ever again.

Sonny Cruz - By My Side

Please Note: If you are reading this entry from google reader you're gonna have to click here to hear the song.

OMG RIGHT?! He told me he would have to work late all last week! But was he really working? NO! He went to a studio and recorded this song of me. I currently have this song on repeat and plan to play it forever and ever.

I love you Sonny.

Happy Birthday To Me

This post is a little late due to very very busy month. Just so many things have been going on that my blog has gotten a little neglected.

To celebrate my birthday last week, Sonny and I drove out to Palm Springs for a little getaway. Let me just say the heat out in the high desert was just way too much for us to handle. We ended up staying indoors or really close to the pool. All in all a great weekend! And of course a girl can't head out there with out a stop to go outlet shopping. Happy Birthday to me!

Lunch at The Parker.

Hanging out in the lobby of our hotel - The Riviera.

A Birthday surprise from Nicole. How sweet!!!

On our way home we spotted the desert dinos and Sonny broke out in a frenzy from remembering a scene from the 80s movie classic, The Whizard. So we had to stop and snap a few pics! :)

Playing With Flowers Part 2

Helped out with my friend Tracey over at The Flower Tray again with her flowers. You really can never get enough of spending time in a room full of beautiful flowers no matter how hot the room can get. This time she was creating arrangements for her work friend's wedding who loves everything about nature. With that Tracey worked with a pallete of greens, browns and creams (kinda my own wedding). Tracey used lots of roses and freesias... it was simple and traditional.

Welcome Home Lil' Dude

Welcome to the world, Matthew. You sweet sweet lil' dude.

My friend Daisy, texted me at 5am yesterday morning to tell me she had her second bundle of joy. World, this is Matthew Ethan. Can you believe this guy is a whopping' 9 lbs 1oz of pure love! I can't even stand it... I wanna smoother him with kisses! If he doesn't make your heart (or uterus) throb to have one of these, you are just bonkers!

He's got so much to say already.

Matthew and I discussing the health care crisis. I think we are gonna agree to disagree here.

I hope I have inspired all you newlyweds to go off and make one of your very own. I know Sonny and I have baby fever and hopefully plan to have a few of our own soon. Til then we'll just OoOO and awWww at this little guy.
