A video of our 2011

In the year of 2011

Hey Everyone,

There's 8 minutes left until 2012 as I'm writing this post and I'm really enjoying reminiscing about all the great things that happened this year.

Just to name a few things that happened this year... we went to DC with CJ, pregnant with Topher, a lot of morning sickness, found a great church/ family, made great friends, our T-Day group was launched, great mentors, Vancouver, my surprise birthday party, baptism, baby shower, Renovare (retreat), TOPHER, etc... so much more.

Chris and I were a little sad that we couldn't spend New Years Eve with our Numanites because we didn't want to take the chances of Topher getting sick with bad germs going around everywhere but we made the best of it with great wine, desserts, and conversation. We've been talking about all the blessings we've been given this year and the new goals and visions we have for 2012. We started 2011 with plans but God surpassed them all with even greater plans. He blessed us with great new friends, a great church, Topher, our business, and most importantly we grew a little more as a couple. I love Chris more and more each year.

The best thing that happened to us this year by far was obviously Topher but another great event was my baptism. It was a really special moment for me since I was pregnant with Topher and Chris helped baptize us. Also I'm thankful for our family, friends, and our Numa family. This year wouldn't have been the same without any of them. Above all I'm thankful for my husband who has been consistent and never changing. I thank God for sending me the perfect person for me.

I'm looking forward to all the great surprises God and life has in store for us in the upcoming year of 2012.

As Jim Rohm said, whether it was 1000 years ago or 1000 years from now life is made up of the same mix. It's filled with opportunities and difficulties. Let's make the best of all of it.

Love,
Sandy

IN THE MOMENT- COACH

Hey Everyone,

I got this beautiful coach bag from my in- laws as a pushing gift. If you don't know what a pushing gift is basically it's for having a baby. You usually get one from your husband as well. I didn't know about it until Chris and his cousin told me.

I've been looking for a nice red purse and this is perfect. I love the gold details. It really makes it elegant and stylish. It's definitely a timeless piece. Maybe have a daughter in the future to pass this on too? Hopefully~

Shirt: Target, Pants: Zara, Jacket: Storets.com, Shoes: Vince Camuto, Purse: Coach, Watch: Michael Kor, Bracelet: Vintage, Key Necklace: Nadri (Nordstrom)

Love,
Sandy

TRAVELS- HAWAII

Hey Everyone,

I don't know what happened by a few of my posts got erased. Past few weeks of writing and sharing all gone. I'm a little upset but I'm not going to let it get to me. A few of you guys might have already seen these pictures but I wanted to re-post it.
I've always had a passion to travel all over the world. My goal is to travel to anywhere I can go to experience the beauties God has created.
I've always wanted to go to Hawaii since I was really young and I got a chance to go for my honeymoon. It was so much fun. We did so many things in one week. It was a bit short but really sweet.
We're planning to go with Topher next year when he's two years old. We want to play with him in the sand. I'm sure it'll be a whole different experience traveling with Topher. It's going to be that much more sweeter! We're also planning to send our parents there as well. We're planning in the next 2 years. They have to experience the bright blue ocean, tropical weather, Giovanni's shrimp, and many more.

Here's a few pictures from our honeymoon:

 Looking back at pictures brings back so many memories and emotion. Oh how I miss you Hawaii. Can't wait to see you again!!

Where would you guys like to go on your next vacation? I would love to know!
