Our third wedding anniversary


Yesterday Mario and I celebrated our third anniversary!  I think any marriage is a step of faith.  You can never know for sure what will happen, if/how your spouse will change, or how the challenges that come in life will affect the relationship.  I have had so much joy because of that step of faith that Mario and I took to be sealed together for time and all eternity in the Boston temple three years ago.




I am so blessed to have a husband who not only loves me and cares for me and is patient with me, but who is also an excellent father.  Dulce and I both adore him.  He does well at everything that he commits to.  His dedication to his church callings is exemplary.

Happy family!

Dulce's always been obsessed with you, Mario!

It's hard to believe all that has happened in the past three years with lots of jobs, moves, classes, callings, and our first child.  And it's hard to imagine the changes that will come in the next few months with graduation, a new job, and a new baby.
Bachateame!  Remember how we met?!

So lucky to have been on two cruises together already!
There's no one else I'd rather be with!  Love you so much, Mario!


Some beautiful flowers and an equally lovely card

The Aquarium and more!


Aquarium
Audrey has a family pass to the aquarium and she invited to treat me and Dulce to a visit as a birthday gift to me back in January... and we finally went!  It was super fun and there was lots more than just fish there! Dulce had lots of fun seeing the animals as well as playing at the indoor playground area at the end.

These fish were HUGE!
