We planned to use this occassion for another trip to go down to the valley, visit with my dad and spend time with our relatives.
Liz, Andy, Rebecca, CJ, Sydney & I packed ourselves into Liz's truck for what would become an eventful ride down south. Two hours into our trip, after having froze nearly to the point of a popsicle (no joke) the first part of the trip, all of a sudden the air conditioner went from being super cold to feeling sort of muggy.
After several minutes of trying to mess with the air in hopes it would start working again, we gave up until our next stop at an Auto Zone where we determined (for real this time) that the remainder of the trip would be traveled under the warm sunny conditions of mother nature in Texas. Andy put in a whole can of freon only to watch it quickly drain out of the compressor.
Luckily God was on our side as we had a pretty cool ride all the way to Donna.
This is Sydney & CJ enjoying the ride to Donna with their hair flapping in the wind. :)
We arrived in Donna around 9:30 or so and finally called it a night. On Friday, we literally spent all day with my dad at his house - relaxing, which was nice.
Then Saturday came along. They day quickly flew and it was time to get dressed for Briceidy and her new hubby-to-be, Raul's wedding. The ceremony was very beautiful. Briceidy was of course radiant. As the pastor officiating the ceremony made mention - it is refreshing to see couples now a days make the formal commitment before God and friends & family to remain true to their spouse, when a lot of us for distinctive reasons, choose not to. My wish for the couple is many years filled with countless blesssing and lots of love.
Mr. & Mrs. Raul Mendoza!
The reception was just as beautiful and fun. We had a great time visiting with lots of relatives from Mexico and the valley that we had not seen in a while. I was able to capture lots of memorable pictures.
Here are a few of my favorites:
These are my four cousins (L-R): Daisy, Briceidy, Melissa, Nallely.
My beautiful family.
Mi tio Gerardo & mi tia Elisa with the girls.
My grandma Aurelia with 21 of her grandchildren and missing if I am not mistaken...7 more. What a blessing.
