Wedding Season???

Who said wedding season was in the Summer? Because let me tell you, some people didn't get the memo.
This past week a good friend of mine got married. I've known him for a really long time, over 10 years, and let me tell you I never thought he would have gotten married. He was never a person that saw himself married or having a family. He always talked about not needing a piece of paper to prove his love for anyone. SO I was very surprised when I got his invite for his wedding.  I was also very happy and excited for him and his, now, wife. They had also just welcomed their baby girl in July. 

And this upcoming week my Godmother is getting married! We are all so excited and happy for her family. She and her fiance have been together for over 5 years, they have a child together. This day is also a bittersweet time for the family, since my uncle, her father, is no longer with us, it's always sad to celebrate such an important time without him. It's like when big life-changing things happen we are happy but a bit sad that he is not here with us to celebrate and bring more joy to the celebration as only he could. All the family gets together, we are a small but close family, so my cousin comes from Chicago, my other cousins all come support.   

But like I said this two happy couples didn't get the memo that weddings are on Summers, but oh well.

Friendship and love

February the month of love and friendship. We celebrate the people that are important to us; wives, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, and friends. I spend this San Valentine's day with my best friend since at the moment we are both singles. But where is God in this celebration? Do we ever stop and thank God for His friendship or His love towards us? WE forget about the most important relationship, the one with God. And I am not saying that I don't. I do.

2017!!! I am still in Process?

I know that the first month of January is almost over and that the blogs about New Year are done with, but not me.  I wanted to wait to see how it would go. I have a lot of expectations for this year. And this year has started very differently than any other.

This was the first year I spend New Year away from my family. I spend New Year's eve at a friend's party. It felt weird but at the same time, it felt good. I am 25 years old, and it was time for me to have a little fun and spread my wings away from home.

In the first week of January, I went to San Antonio, Texas with my best friend. It was such an amazing time. We walked the river walk, had Whataburger, went to the natural bridge caverns, and saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Again this was something new to me. I have travel don't get me wrong but it has always been with family or to be with family, it had never been just because.

But just like there has been a lot of good things there has also been some not so good things. But that's just life. We always have to take the good and bad together.  Old relationships have ended, new ones have started, friendships have become more than just friendships. And we are starting to let go of the bad and move on.

So yes, this is why I hadn't written a new year blog, I was still trying to figure things out, and I am still am. So at this time, I am in process of many things, but that's what every year should be like. We should never want to be exactly the same as the year before because that would mean we didn't learn anything from the past year.
