Catholics have strict guidelines for being wed in their church so Father Eugene is going to help guide us though out our marriage prep.</div><div><br /></div><div>i must admit, at first the meeting with Father Eugene seemed a little too formal and intimidating for my taste, but he helped ease my thoughts & feelings by discussing the importance of having strong morals and beliefs to help guide us. not only that, the pre-marital process would challenge our relationship & strengthen it before we solely become one. i only hope to get Father Eugene's blessing to be married to each other at the end of this process, although i have no doubt in my mind & heart that we will receive it. the cherry on top is... Father Eugene will also be the one to MARRY US,! which is really special for him to not only educate but graduate!</div><div><br /></div><div>please pray for us as we go over the "blueprints" of our relationship & start the preliminary process to building an everlasting union. your love & support means the world to us!</div><div><br /></div><div>love, love, and more love,</div><div>your future mrs.</div>annabellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969749266356197551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460683423795599191.post-11480487519683010882011-02-14T22:20:00.001-08:002011-02-14T22:21:10.826-08:00bridesmaids the moviechanelle texted me about this movie earlier today...<div>i can't wait to watch it with my ladies!!</div><div><br /></div><div><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AVzxbLWFQLE" frameborder="0"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div>xoxx</div>annabellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969749266356197551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460683423795599191.post-69446684506736077862011-02-14T13:52:00.000-08:002011-02-14T17:00:54.018-08:00spending valentine's on cloud ninei have never been so happy my entire life. it's so wonderful to feel lifted higher and higher as each day passes. the amount of joy that i have been experiencing would not be possible without my closest friends & family, and of course my future husband, Cameron.<br /><br />this past weekend has overflowed my heart with love as it spilt out with the most joyous tears i have ever cried. what a beautiful image i have burned into my mind & heart...a room full of the people who have touched my heart so dearly throughout the years & being beside my life partner.<br /><br />there is nothing more dear...<br />....to love & to be loved.<br /><br />thank you to each and every single one of you that made it out to our engagement party. we couldn't be more thrilled to have such wonderful persons in our lives to share this experience with. i am more than excited to post photos up to recap the day...<br /><br />but before then, i must go celebrate valentine's with my wonderful fiance.<br /><br />until then...mahal kita.<br /><br />xoxo<br />future mrs murrayannabellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06969749266356197551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460683423795599191.post-6072526131351053442011-01-27T21:02:00.000-08:002011-01-27T21:17:25.144-08:00happy birthday to you<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYHcW-Ne0yXWzEF4Aa5uxbYMQ9knEJrWPJiMg7AKWGiYhKF71tzYIyRNYaVcgC7oQ4fELoICgkzRwYh_36eYP1WY3HzCTjhcdM9Nm7FR7MYBhZg0GF_QkUdFOB03sNKdY8_dZIu7ALisHY/s1600/163003_1496576817441_1324712762_31061653_3324927_n.jpg"><img style="display:block;

And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
