Our Wedding - Our Journey

For a long time since I can remember, I have always wanted the wedding of my dreams. I also wanted to be in love and always stay married. I think today's day of age, couples don't stay married for long. I wanted to make sure we were in this for the long run. We are now in 2008 married for almost 8 years and together for many more then that!

We decided to start a journey. Not just the one we had been traveling on for a while now, of matrimony, but one of faith and religion with God as well.

We have joined our church "Our lady of Guadalupe". We have started our journey in RCIA. Our children have joined Catechist classes and I am teaching as well. We decided to be like Jesus and follow his footsteps. We have also decided it was time to renew our faith in God and Love and marry in his presence. In 2009 of September (we are hoping that month) we will be married in our church we have been so active in.

Last weekend was the first day of Advent, it was such an experience. I can't wait until we receive our first reconciliation and holy communion and confirmation.

Some might ask why we were brought back to church. I can't answer for anyone but myself, but I have to say the death of my father in law brought me back to God. He was such a gracious man. Sure, sometimes, we didn't agree with what he said, but for the most part, he was very giving, very pleasant and I must say, very missed. I like to think that he visits my children and is their angel. To believe in such a thing, you have to have faith and to connect, I believe you have to let your guard down and open your heart. That's why I am back at church. Not just to learn, but to feel.
