Let's start with a wedding

So I've decided to start off by posting some picture from our wedding.  Gerardo and I were married on June 12, 2010 in the Oakland temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  It was exactally how we wanted it!  Small and with no reception.

 My AMAZING flowers were designed by my 'soul' sista's from my BYU days, Kelly, Heidi, and Amy.  I think that they turned out so beautiful!  I never picked wedding colors, fell in love with a pair of shoes when shopping for a pair for the wedding and decided they would be my wedding shoes.  I showed them to the girls before they went to the flower market in the city.  They did a great job matching the color!  Thank you talented ladies!

 Here is the Ambriz/Ponce clan.  Unfortunately only three of Gera's 10 siblings could be here (Eduardo, Isidro, and Laura w/ her daughter) and his dad Miguel.  I was so grateful that all my family was able to attend.

 Here Gera and I are with my brothers Sean, Jason, and Ryan

 This is one of my favorite pictures because I am together with all of my nieces and nephews.

I'll try to post more when I figure out how to post a slide show!

So it begins...

I guess this is my attempt to take one more step into responsible adulthood.  I am taking the advice of all my great friends and am starting a blog (especially the married ones who keep telling me that this is one of the fine print rules we HAVE to do once we are married).  I know that for the majority of my family and friends this is a very shocking move.  I have not had a journal since 10 years ago, and you all know how bad I am at staying connected with everybody!!!!  But, I figure that this could be the best way to share updates, especially since so many of our friends and family live so far away.   I hope you enjoy what we post!
