And we are off....

Family and Friends,

We are off to celebrate one year of marriage. WOW!!! how does time fly, it seems like yesterday when we were all getting ready to fly to the DR. We will be leaving tomorrow at 6 am and returning on the 24th. Please know we will be celebrating and thinking of each and every one of you every day. You t ruly enrichour lives. We are taking one of the bottles of wines that were signed at the wedding and enjoying it on Sunday May 15 (hoping to read some good stuff)! (For those of you who do not know what we are talking about, instead of a guest book, we had bottles of wine that we asked the guests to sign, so we could enjoy one every year to celebrate and relive that amazing day).
We wanted to take this opportunity to thank our parents for all the love, support, and guidance through this first year. We wanted to thank our sister Gigi and my cousin brother Felipe and their families for all the joy they bring into our life (We are so lucky to be the aunt and uncle of those 2 beautiful princess and that gorgious Mario). We want to thank our friends for helping us grow as a couple, making us feel important each time they see us and creating unforgettable memories. Additionally, we want to thank our boys, Jaxon and Monopoly, you two make every day better for us.
We will post pictures and a summary of the vacation as soon as we return, in the mean time, however, we have added some teaser shots.

PS: A special thank you to mom Karen and papa Tony. We will enjoy that generous gift and remember it for the rest of our lives. We love you! XOXO

Moral of the story: Celebrate every day all you have and LOVE as much as you can! (So obvious who wrote the moral of this story lol)!

A broom and the salt bottle

So we finally moved this weekend! How is it that we still have so much crap??? The move is really what inspired this blog story. I've been with Monica for some years now and during those years, we have had MANY moves, so I still don't now how Monica's superstitious "Colombian" beliefs still amuse me! According to Monica's family, when one moves, they leave behind the old broom and the bottle of salt. The reason is because you leave the bad luck from the old home (symbolized by the broom and salt bottle) and you buy new ones representing the good luck that will come in the new home. The funny part is that I can probably write a book regarding Monica and her family's superstitions (spiders, flies, pearls, dolls, glass breaking, the list goes on and on, but those other stories will be for future blogs). For now let's focus on the broom and the salt. It was our first night in the new place, monIca and I decided to grill out in celebration for a ha...

Gain or no Gain

So quick funny story.... It might be one of those "you had to be there stories" but I will try since it caused a lot of laughter for us. Last sunday we were at Sam's club buying our monthly stuff. We knew we needed detergent so we went to the cleaning aisle and looked for the gain detergent that we have been buying for many months now. It was such a great deal, we would get 133 onz for a little over 9 dollars. That's many many many loads of laundry. So as we walked down the aisle, I realized Peter had overlooked our great "gain" bottle. I yelled down the aisle "Pete it's right here, this is the one". Peter turns and smiles, holding in the laughter. He then said, well....now I know why our detergent has been sooooooo inexpensive. He then continued by saying, look at the bottle a little closer. We had been using the same bottle for such a long time now that I felt I knew every color, every letter, felt like a could describe the handle...
