picnic at the park

For my birthday my girlfriends Mayra and Jo (whom by the way found out this month that she is pregnant also!!!) took me to the Twilight at the park and we had a lovely picnic at the steps while we listen to latin music and watched people dance. 

It was a lot of fun! and since Mayra forgot the cheesecake at home we had to light a candle on a little straw pastry.

It was a very nice birthday treat, Thank You ladies!!!

Ugly Christmas Sweater party

I have a church family who knows how to have a good time!

Mel hosted an ugly Christas party at her home and it was a lot of fun!!!
from looking for the perfect sweater, to the pot luck and all the games and great conversations we had that night, it was a lot of fun.
Alayna, Jo and I won the contest for the ugliest Christmas sweater! and in honor of that we had an awkward pose in the last picture, not really I wish I could say the awkward pose was intentional butot was not! Ha, but this picture is pretty funny.
I love spending the holidays with my church family, they are amazing.
I totally forgot my camera all ready and packed up in my bed, what a bummer, so you are looking at ugly quality photos from my iphone. I need to be more intentional about carrying my camera wherever I go, I will just add that to my 2013 resolutions.

Ladies Lunch

On Sunday some of the ladies from our women's ministry group went to Crest Cafe to have lunch. First of all I love these ladies, every single one of them have something great to bring to the table and I love learning from every experience and just knowing that I have ladies like them in my life is very encouraging.
Second of all, we were missing some of our ladies and they not only missed great fellowship but you can never go wrong at Crest Cafe! it is delicious, every time I go there I take forever to decide what I want because I want everything Ha.

looking forward to our next monthly meeting ladies!!!

Sunday Funday

My Sunday started at church as usual,

 but as mentioned here before Amanda is leaving to Nashville on wednesday so! we had a little cake party with two gorgeous cakes. 

on the TOP picture: Maria Ortiz made a vanilla cake & on the BOTTOM picture is Jessica Picken's chocolate cake, they were both incredible.

The church wanted to honor Amanda's faithfulness and talent so we gave her a banjo, she had been wanting to get one and now she is well equipped to start her professional career with a brand new banjo.

 After church I went home for a bit before  going  to Jo's house where we had Jess' bridal party. 

An evening with the ladies from church is priceless, we had a potluck of finger food and desserts, mocktails games and a lot of gifts for the bride to be.

It was a lot of fun but I ended up exhausted!

having Tea with Mayra

Last weekend we had a Testimonies & Tea event at church. I love the women's ministry at my church. It was a Saturday morning filled with good times and coming closer together sharing our testimonies.
Any tine we have a chance to come together and share with the ladies at Urban it is a good day.
Kuddos to all the ladies who volunteered their time and talents to make this happen.

I am looking forward to the next ladies event.
