Happy Halloween!!!

 

 

Bye Bye Halloween!

OK!

Yeah!

Halloween is Officially not Over but ..

This is my LAST post on Halloween! It's been Fun!

Truly LOVED seeing how much fun my Husband had CARVING his Pumpkin .. Well, it wasn't really a PUMPKIN PUMPKIN it was an "Auyama" (close sister to the pumpkin) since it's practically IMPOSSIBLE to find a pumpkin here in Venezuela (or at least in Maracaibo). Loved our HALLOWEEN 2012 couple time!

This is how Our Home looks like right now and will probably look like until the weekend!

Note: My pumpkins are the Frankenstein and Dotted Ones .. Javi's Pumpkin is the Classic Jack-O-Lantern which he renamed "Jav-O-Lantern" .. An the Black one with Stars and Lightning was made by my cousin Angelica! Don't you LOOOOVE our wreath?

 Hope you have a wonderful and safe Trick or Treat tomorrow!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Came Early!

This past weekend was officially 'Halloween Weekend', lots of people got dressed up to celebrate! On Saturday was my little cousin's 12th birthday so he had a costume party considering Halloween is only a few days away. I'm going to share a few pictures with you :)

 My husband and I dressed up as indians, face paint and all :)

Bloody walls!

Some Halloween themed cupcakes made by my mom!

We carved pumkins the weekend before! Unfortunately, they didn't survive until Halloween and rotted.

Oct.24 - Last week as I told you about in the previous Blog on Wednesday 24th we celebrated our anniversary (When Dating DONT GET CONFUSED) by getting all the Christmas decorations up and well my Husband Javi had been asking for these really cool Headphones he saw on the Guy from Guaco (Huge Band here en Venezuela) "Ronald" at the airport on July (I think).. They are "Beats" by Dr.Dre (Studio Style) you can find them here in AMAZON!

He looooooved them, Just take a look!

I have to Give Special thanks to my cousin Armando (Top Picture) .. He helped me buy the Headphones without Javi finding out! (1st Time I get to actually surprise him by the way ..

My First Wedding Anniversary!

One year ago today I was getting married!

 

Time seriously flies. I spent almost 9 months planning our October wedding and now it's already been a year since that day. I loved everything from my wedding and I have so many pictures to keep as memories :). I posted some of the most memorable pictures from that day. There were so many to pick from...probably a little under a thousand.  The ones here are some of the professional photos.

 

I love this photo of our court!

 

My husband, Eduardo.

 

Our beautiful cake! I still have the cake topper :)

 

 

Our souvenirs, decorated by my mom (cookies inside).

 

Our wedding rings.

 

My bridesmaids <3

 

 

With our families :)

 

Saying 'I do'.

Happily Every After...

 

 



My Trip to NYC!

Quick overview of my trip to NYC this October...it was AWESOME!
What is there not to love about New York City? Absolutely nothing. Cold, windy, hot the next day, it doesn't matter, I love it all.

I was there from October 13th until the 16th...in those short days we did a lot and walked even more, nonstop.

We bought tickets for a hop on hop off bus tour it's called Sightseeing NYC. We also did that last year when we went with my husband around Christmas time and it was great. The bus has several stops and you can get off and then catch another bus at another stop if you'd like so I think it's very nice since it saves you time and money.

We went to Times Square in the morning and then again at night...it's completely different when it's dark. A MUST SEE.

 

 

We also went to Central Park, Top of the Rock in Rockefeller Center, the NBC Store, Strawberry Fields, Statue of Liberty, M&M World, Hershey's Store, Toys R Us, F.AO. Shwartz, 911 Memorial, Grand Central Station, rode in a metro, subway, and taxi...we did lots of stuff!
