Flashback Friday

Leading up to Fridays, I get excited about posting Flashback Friday pictures. Then of course, I get super busy at work and time just passes by. Then when I start looking through pictures, I can't decide. This week, I found this picture and decided to post about it. This picture was taken in February of 1989. I was in the court for a friends Quinceanera. Obviously since it was in February, she chose red, and I'm sorry...these horrible dresses and head pieces.




Buddy and I had started out as best friends. We were confidants. He would tell me his woes and I would tell him mine. Of course, I was only 15 and he was 17. Our woes were really nothing major. Nonetheless, we could confide in each other. A lot had happened in our "teenage romances" and we realized that we liked each other. On this day, he looked passed the dress, the hair, and the headpiece and we started dating. I love that a friend of his mom's happened to snap this picture. How lucky are we to have this picture to remind us of that night.



February 1993 our engagement pictures


On October 30, 1992 Buddy asked me to marry him, I was only 18 years old. Well, I was 19 days away from being 19 to be exact. Still, very young. And even then, people had their concerns about us getting married so young. I knew in my heart, that it was what I wanted. I think that I was very mature for my age, and I never felt that I missed out on anything. If I could go back, I would do it all over again. And, please by no means am I trying to sugarcoat anything. We have had hard times, we still do, but we made a promise to work through tough times, and we have. And we will continue to do so. It's been 20 years since that first picture was taken. A lot has happened since then, but I know that if you ask Buddy, his feelings are like mine. And the two biggest accomplishments that we have had are the two little faces that are in the picture below. The little girl with the missing teeth that stole our hearts when she was born, and the little boy that wrapped a string around our fingers. Our lives revolve around them, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

How refreshing to read that Love is still alive! the best thing you can do for that little girl who stoled your heart and the boy who's string is wrapped around your finger is for you and Buddy to be good examples!! Congratuation on 20 years :)

What an awesome flasback photo + story behind it all!! Isn't it amazing how fast those 20 years went by???

Our stories are so similar! I met my hubby in 1988, but we got married in 1996. In between those years was alot of garbage, but thank God it is all in the past and we left it in the past!!

HUGS!

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start.

Flashback Friday

Joining in with Alicia again. Head on over to her blog to participate. You can get there by clicking here . As promised, I will countdown Kai's birthdays parties every Friday from now on until we reach her 13th Birthday. Come join in Disney fun as Kassandra Paulyna turns one! Saturday, September 6, 1997 From day one, Kai was always smiling. Her cake was made by my sister Ana. Her piñata was bigger than she was. Two pages from her scrapbook, which I haven't kept up with, hence the blog. Kai's first birthday was bitter sweet. I had been planning it for about four months. At the time I was a stay at home mommy and I had nothing better to do. It was bitter sweet, because my dad had passed away two weeks prior to her party. We really considered moving the date or cancelling the party all together, but my mom said that my dad would not want that. So we went ahead with the party. At the time, we lived in Douglas, and parties in Douglas tend to be pretty big. We rented a dan...
