Aaron's Ex's

So as you may have read, Aaron was working on Saturday. ALthough he does an amazing job, I did start to get a little bit bored after a few hours. I was snooping around on Aaron's computer and would you believe that he still has pictures of his old girlfriends. Man, he is in t-r-o-u-b-l-e!! I forwarded the pics to myself before I deleted them. Here are some of them. Man these girls are UGLY!! Good ridance!

The Finest Christmas

On Christmas Eve I drove to San Angelo, Texas to visit Araceli and her family. I left right after work and arrived at about 10:30 pm. That night was the best night of my life. I proposed to Araceli in a rather special way. She said, "Yes!" and then after several minutes couldn't remember if she said yes. That was funny.

The whole week was an event that was enchanting and special. I left San Angelo with my Christmas present, Cheli. We drove to San Antonio and spent the afternoon there with each other while enjoying all of the sights and sounds. It was spectacular!

I am absolutley convinced that Araceli and I are going to be so happy growing together and loving together. We are so excited...

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!! SO ExCiTeD!!!!!!

Tomorrow I get to see Aaronsito!!! I can't wait. I haven't seen him in over two months. Thats kind of a long time!! This Christmas is going to be such a special one for us! I wish I could just put it on the front page of the DMN!

I'm leaving first thing in the morning. I'm looking forward to the Christmas Eve service at SRC. Then dinner and watching my fam opening presents at Wita's, then Aaron comes in!!! I really can't wait!!

I did a little photoshopping to this pic, but you can hardly notice I'm sure. See everyone in a few hours!!!

Introducing Ava Rose Ramirez

Aaron is an uncle! That's right, he is aka Uncle Aaron. Miss Ava Rose came into the world at 11:36am on December 20th, 2008. She was welcomed by her mommy Angela Ramirez and her daddy Mat Ramirez. Aaron's mom was able to travel to Seattle to be there for the birth of her first grandchild. Mat and Angela are living in Seattle because Mat is in the Navy. Today they celebrate their 2 year anniversary. Congrats guys! Can't wait to meet Ava Rose in person.

Christmas Sunday

Today we had our English and Spanish Christmas Production, "Manger of Grace." It was awesome! In our English Service at 11:30 AM we had 140 people in service which is awesome especially because we've just started the English service about 14 months ago. We normally have about 50 which is the average attendance, but today was awesome to see all of those pews full of visitors.

Tonight at 6 PM was the Spanish Service and that was awesome as well. We filled up the sanctuary tonight with people and worship.

I just want to say Merry Christmas to everybody keeping track of us here on our blog. I cannot wait to see everyone this week at Christmas. Goodnight.
