Nacio,
Today, I become your wife. Nothing could make me happier. Nothing!! Just to know, that we have the rest of our lives together, makes today even more incredible!!
It's hard to remember a time, before I knew you. Extremely hard. Because I feel like my entire life, started after we met. I never realized that one person, could make you feel so wonderful. That one single person, could make me a better person. But Ignacio, you are that person to me.
I think of today, as our beginning. The beginning of our lives together. The first step, to not just building our lives together. But of building our family. I often find myself dreaming of our future. Of a home, so cozy and welcoming. Spending evenings enjoying dinner together. And long talks, that bring us to morning. Falling asleep in your arms. I dream of the babies we'll have. And one day, the grandbabies, that will climb in our laps. And ask us about our love story.
Today, we start writing our love story. Our love can only grow from here. I look forward to everything about today. Of seeing you, at the end of the aisle. Pledging my love to you, in front of God, our family, and friends. I can't wait to dance with my husband. And feed each other cake. :)
I know at times, I wondered if we could pull this off. The 2 week whirlwind, to our wedding. But you never wavered. You ensured me, that we'd make it. Not just make it, but be amazing!! That our wedding would be special.
None of those things, that I thought were important, are. You and me, are what's important today. Our love. Pledging that to each other. Sharing this special day with our friends and family. I know that. It's all I can think about. Just how lucky I am, to have met you. To know that you love me. And that we're starting our lives together, on this day.
September 16, 2012 will always make my heart flutter!! It's the day, that you went from my best friend, boyfriend, soul mate, and fiance.....to my hubby, life pattern, lover for life, and future father of my babies. :)
I've never been so happy in my life!! So confident in a decision. Then I am today. Pledging my love and life, to you and God. Ignacio you've had my heart and soul for years. Today, we make it official. But in my heart, I've loved you since day 1. I can't wait wait to spend the rest of my life, with you!!
XOXO.....Your Wifey

Making Our Way.....
We started one our adventures. Headed to Las Vegas. It's supposed to take some 12 hours. We're driving. But we put in a 2 hour cushion. To make any needed stops. We are traveling with my grandparents, and nieces and nephews. And somehow, we're supposed to all meet up at 6pm. For dinner.
Most of Ignacio's family left yesterday. And spent the last night in Las Vegas. But we had a few things left to get done. We decided to drive. For 2 reasons. 1 it's cheaper. Way cheaper. Two, we're traveling with my abuelitos, and nieces and nephews. My very pregnant sister, would also like to say, she prefers driving. :)
We left early. Cars packed. Full!! Of people, and wedding goods. All I can think about, is Ignacio. How he's doing? If he's working too hard. If he's really OK after those floods. You know, it would flood in Las Vegas. Days before our wedding. :)
And I can't help, but think about my abuelito. How is he really doing?? Should we really be making him, travel all this way. With such little time, should we have just waited. I can't help, but to have these things on my mind. No matter how hard, I try not to think about them.
In the last few days, I've tried to remain calm. To remember the reason for all of this. Because I love Ignacio. And I love my abuelito. And I want both of them, to share in this big day. I want to marry my best friend. And I want my abuelito to "give me away."
To keep me a bit more "occupied," I joined Twitter and Pinterest this week. I know!! You would have thought, like a year ago, I would have joined. But it took until this week. I also joined Facebook. But since there is a bit more personal information on there, if you want to "friend" me, leave me a comment. :)
I've also been really thinking about the things, I want from our wedding. The memories I want to make. And keep. Things that not only will be special now. But in the future. Most of these, being pictures. Really, we've given up so much already. Just trying to make this wedding happen. That I knew, I wanted a good photographer.
I just want to have pictures, that I can look back on. And remember this special day. And all of those people, that shared in our special day. It should be no surprise, that I turned to Pinterest. My oldest sister and I, just cried our eyes out. Over this picture.
We were thinking the same thing. At the same moment. My abuelito and me. We HAVE to get one just like this!! HAVE TO!! And I'm not joking about all the crying. It's a good thing, that my mom and abuelitos were napping. And my dad is concentrating on the road.
That's what we're doing today. Making our way. Please say a few extra prayers for us. That we all get there safely. And return safely on Monday. I'm going to go back to "pinning" some ideas. We've still got 5 1/2 hours on the road!!

A Gift for My Love.....
Ignacio and I were trying to decide on what to do for Valentine's Day. Being that we're saving money for our wedding. And we really didn't want to spend money, that well, we could spend on our wedding.
We decided on a low-key Valentine's Day this year. Which is pretty ironic. The last few years, we've made big plans. Gone out. Not on the actual day, but close to Valentine's day. Mostly because Ignacio usually has a day full of gigs. That's part of being in love with a musician. :)
But this year, we're going to order in some good food. Rent a few of our favorite movies. And spend a quiet night at home. Just me and him. Celebrating our love!! ;) Gift wise, well we were thinking something small. Not too much money. Just a small gift.
Immediately, I had no clue what to buy. Ignacio is not a complicated man. Heck, he'd be thrilled with an ice cream cake. Or a new CD. But I wanted a more meaningful gift. I took to the internet. And searched.....
Pinterest had all sorts of fun ideas. Jars with sticks, with ideas of things to do for one another. Decks of cards, with reasons why I love Ignacio. Little gift basket ideas. Things that he'd enjoy. But nothing seemed intimate enough. You know, special and meaningful.
I kept searching. My searching also turned to engagement picture ideas. Things we want to try out. we're taking our engagement pictures, at the end of the month. Ignacio also joined me for a little while. We were looking at things that we enjoyed together. While searching, I suggested to Ignacio, that we should make something for each other. For Valentine's Day. He liked the idea.
Well, to my surprise, we found a picture that we really enjoyed. An idea that seemed intimate, timeless, and perfect!! Something to capture this exact moment in our lives. Then it hit me, we could do this for each other. For Valentine's Day. :)
What do you think? Ignacio liked the idea too! Immediately, we called our photographer. We hadn't even noticed that it was nearly 10pm!! But she loved the idea! And we made the appointment. You see, the picture above, is actually 2 pictures. Framed separately. But hung like this. :)
Ignacio went yesterday. While I was in class. And this evening, when Ignacio went to work, I went to the photographers. I really can't wait to see our pictures!! We've been guaranteed, that they'd be ready on Valentine's Day. And now, I'm so excited!! This is going to be something that we'll have, and cherish for years and years. :)

Starting a New Beginning
Happy New Year!! Welcome to my new blog. :) I'm Anita. And I'm happily in love, with Ignacio. The greatest man, that I will ever know!! In fact, we've got some pretty big news. Today, we got engaged!! That's right. Just after midnight, Ignacio asked me to be his bride. And I said YES!!
I figured a blog would be a nice way to document, this new stage of life for us. A place that hopefully, I can keep track of wedding ideas and such. Hopefully, I will get to meet some new friends along the way. :)
A little bit about me and Ignacio. We've been dating for just over 2 years. The last 2 years, have made me a better person. Our love is deep, and strong. We live in the southwest. Where we don't really have "seasons." But the culture is rich!!
I'm a college student. Studying early childhood and elementary education. I'll be graduating in May 2013. And until a few months ago, I worked at a local boutique. I don't know how to cook. I often wish I was a "Domestic Goddess," like Martha Stewart!! And most Friday nights, you'll find me studying. And probably eating something sweet.
Ignacio is a professional musician. A mariachi violin player. And teacher. He teaches private lessons, when he's not performing. And when Ignacio is not working, he likes to go on road trips. Or hiking in the local mountains.
We have a strong belief in God. Have families that mean the absolute world to us. Friends that are more like family. We enjoy our culture. On special occasions, we indulge in our favorite restaurants. And our favorite past time, is lounging in our pjs.
I hope you stay tuned, to our adventure in life. This is only the beginning of our story. We have an entire lifetime to write. One that I hope, you will be a part of. Pull up a chair. I promise to be back. And soon!!
