I can't believe it but Christmas is almost here. It is time to go shopping ladies!!!. This year I will be at the "Craft and Bake Sale" at Southeastern in the Ledford Center from 9am. to 3 pm., Saturday November 7th, 2009. This event gives the oppotunity to show up your skills and raise some money for Christmas or school. Frank and I will have an international table selling handicrafts from Peru and Mexico. Among our products, we have the very famous "chuyos" known also as inca hats, they are very cool and warm especially for this winter, these hats are made of alpaca wool and are unisex. I have some for children too. Also, we have, luxury alpaca scarves in different colors (alpaca, is a very delicate and fine wool in Peru);hoodie wools sweaters for little girls; tote bags; blankets; and jewerly: silver rings, silver and gold 14k earrings, necklaces and bracelets made of seeds. I attached some pictures of our products so you can have an idea of how they look like. Hope to see you there!

TEA PARTY GIRLS!!!

I took Sara and her friend Jazmin to the English Tea Room at Wake Forest downtown yesterday, for the very first time. Gauhara (Jazmin's mom)and I really enjoyed our time together and our girls had a lot of fun, drinking lemonade from a tea pot, it was cute. Sara, thought she was in a tea party, in fact, it was our first tea party in this place. This restaurant has the most beautiful china tea set, all kind of styles. Sara loves to dress up, I put on her a cute smoking dress that matched her hat, she herself put on gloves and necklace, she looked like a little lady. Also,I was surprised she sat at the table for a long time, I think she enjoyed the tea china set all by herself. My friend and I were afraid that they were going to break it but they did wonderful.

5 YEARS AGO WE SAID "I DO"

Five years ago, October 7th 2004, Frank and I said "I Do" before God at Iglesia Biblica Emmanuel (my home church) in Lima-Peru. In fact, we have two dates that we celebrate our anniversary, on October 5th we had our civil wedding and October 7th we had our religious ceremony. In Peru, weddings are a little different that in the States. These years have been very challenging for us, especially when there are young children and you are married with a preacher, life can get tough. However, this time together has helped us learn more about ourselves and hold each other accountable before the Lord, accepting our differences and surrender to the Lord those areas in our lives that need refining from The One and Only. Today, in our fifth anniversary we can say that our love has increased for each other, making our marriage stronger and growing more spiritually. There are many things we have learned together and we give thanks to our Wonderful and Merciful Savior who is the foundation in our marriage. Just recently, I heard this definition of marriage: "Marriage is the abandoning of two different worlds to create a new world" Barbara O'Chester. I really agreed with this statement. As a minister wife, I have understood that God has put in my hands the most important ministry of all my husband and my children.
" Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" Genesis 2:24
Happy anniversary, my beloved husband!
