Awwww

Okay so I realize I have yet to post my Christmas pictures, they are coming I just need to load them onto the computer.  However, unpacking our office today we found are DVD with our wedding pictures on them.  Awwww, it seems like yesterday, and yet it seems like a lifetime ago.  So I thought I would post a few just for memories sake, and since I wasn't blogging at the time. 

I love that he took a picture of our rings together.  I don't know why, but I just love this pic.  

Okay, so the one of us against the temple wall, there was one where I was actually looking cute, and of course ze's eyes are shut so, Sharida you need to help me switch his eyes from another photo.  I am so grateful for my husband, and to know that we will be together for time and all eternity.  What a blessing that knowledge is, and what peace it brings to me.  I love him more today than I ever thought possible.  

But come on wasn't he a handsome groom.  Look at all that dark hair.  Heheheh, just kidding amor.  I LOVE YOU!

Disappointed

Okay so I just spent my whole day trying to make these appetizers from Brasil for my friend Shanna who is pregnant and craving them, and sadly they did not turn out.  Don't worry that I am so not ready for Christmas haven't even wrapped my gifts yet, or packed up our stuff to stay at my parents tonight (since we don't even have a Christmas tree up heheheh)  I am sorry Shana I really really tried.  I will try again until I get it right.  And I was hoping to have a little Brasilian tradition in our Christmas this year, but oh well maybe next year. Oh wait we will be there next year.  Now I am going to get ready for tonight finally.

Minha Querida Amiga LUCIANA

There are people you meet and as soon as you meet them you know you were meant to meet and be a part of eachothers life.  I feel that way about my friend Luciana, from Brasil.  She was a member in my second area and had recently returned from a mission herself.  We became instant friends and have been friends ever since. It has felt more like sisters ever since.  I just had to say how much I miss her and love her.  Every time I talk to her it feels like she is just next door and I should be able to go see her whenever I want, and that our boys should grow up together.  It is so sad when I have to say good-bye and wonder when we will see eachother again, it has been six years and I hopefully next year it will work out that i can see her.  My prayers are with her through this difficult time she is going through and  I wish I could be there to help her.  LOVE YOU LU!  

Tem pessoas que voce vai a conhecer nessa vida, que quando voce conhece-las voce sabe que era pra voces se conhecerem.   Assim que eu sinto sobre minha amiga Luciana, do Brasil.  Ele era uma membro em minha segunda area, e tinha recentement voltou da missao.  Fizemos amizade no momento que a gente conheceu, se sente mais como irmas do que amigas.  Eu so queria dizer quanto que eu amo ela, e que eu morro de saudades.  Cara vez que eu conversa com ela eu sinto que ela devia estar no meu frente e eu posso ve-la quando eu quiser, e que nossos filhos podiam crescer juntos.  Vai fazer 6 anos que nos nao vemos um ao outro, mas se tudo da certo nos vamos ver ano que vem!!!!!!!   Meus oracaoes estao com voce amiga durante esse epoca da sua vida.  Eu queria estar ai com voce, para ajudar voce.  AMO VOCE LU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  tudo vai melhorar.  

Noticas do Brasil

Just thought I would writ a quick post to let you all know we have been having a blast here and are sad to leave but way excited to go home and see our boys. We arrived last Wednesday and spent two days with his sister and cousins in Sorocaba, then spent the weekend with his dad. It was a great weeked and very relaxing his dad lives in a smaller city and it is very calm and we were able to sleep and enjoy spending time with this dad and ruth. We were lucky enought that the first week was great weather, I even had to borrow a sweatshirt from his cousin one night because it was cold outside. We were also able to spend the night with his grandparents and she was able to teach me how to make some doces. We are now in Sorocaba, getting ready for the wedding tomorrow. We are all excited and it should be a lot of fun. Can´t wait to see everyone, next week when we get home.
