A very fun family Christmas/ New Year & wedding updates!

I hope everyone is having a great start to their New Year as much as we are!! I truly feel that there is no better way to spend the holidays then with FAMILY... and that's exactly what we did. :o)

Christmas day was spent with my side of the family... which included lots of gifts, laughs, hugs, and going to good 'ol Showcase Cinemas to see Bedtime Stories (a very fun family movie) ! I loved watching my cousins face light up each time a gift was pushed her way by our assigned Santa, David. My Uncle Jeff usually took this role, but he is in Cali with his fiance'. We really appreciate all the gifts for our future marriage life as well!
The Sat after Christmas was really fun with Davids folks. The brothers each got these neat remote control helicopters that were flown all over the place with excitement. Cora & Hunter are just soo cute hopping up & down with joy for their new toys from their loving thoughtful family. I am really a very proud and excited future Aunt Leticia!!! We also are very grateful for the gifts that will really come in handy during our wonderful years of marriage!

Our New Year's Eve & day was very eventful and started off perfectly in my opinion! We boogied the night away to celebrate the 2009 year of such wonderful things to come for both of our lives!! Then New Year's day we happily spent with Ray & Carol and the family for another family Christmas gathering. It was nice to be able to catch up with Ray & Carol and their gifts we so wonderful!! David really enjoyed his new martial arts outfit, and I really liked my cute makeup bag and tree ornament made by Carol herself :o)

The wedding planning is going fantastic! I purchased both of my patterns for the wedding & temple dress, and the material to make them, I'm soo excited... I know Sis Goodrich is going to do such fabulous job as my seamstress. We also pretty much got our invitiations done, and I'm really loving our special touches we have put on them, they are truly OUR invitations!! This has been really fun to plan so far, and I know the best is def yet to come with the temple sealng and our honeymoon!! ;o) We just got this finalized, we are going to Big Bear Lake in California... way up in the mountains and we will take a couple of days to go to Disney Land for Davids birthday on the 24th, and do temple work in our fav temple, San Diego!!! A really big thanks to Ray and Carol for making this honeymoon possible for us! =) We love you both!!

Wishing everyone a very happy, safe, a spiritual 2009!! We hope everyone can come and celebrate our eternal marriage March 20 @ 6 p.m. @ the stake center. Thanks to anyone who has made a diff in our lives in 2008! God be with you til we meet again!!
