A rustic burlap theme wedding

Rustic is my current favorite. Seems like I'm loving everything about it. I'm imagining a house with rustic garden, a wooden swing, tin pots and all. 

So imagine how I gasp when I walked to this wedding held in Sta Elena Gold Club, Sta Rosa, Laguna last Feb.28. Remember the wedding I mentioned in my last post? this was it and the venue and styling is beautiful! The bride has nothing to do with it, she said it was the mother of the groom who styled and decided about almost everything :) one spoil bride!

I love the seat cover!

and the table runner!

centerpiece :)

lovely bouquet isn't it?

 gift to us!

and here is the beautiful bride with her equally beautiful bridal bouquet!

It was a wonderful wedding ( I guess I say that to all the weddings I went too-because each wedding is uniquely wonderful!)  not to mention the food served by Sta Elena was delightful.

Happenings

February will soon be over and I only have two posts, but of course that does not mean nothing is going on in my life :) In fact, it is because I only have little time in front of the PC to do personal stuff such as blogging. Anyways, here are some of the happenings this month.

My birthday!! 

We had a simple celebration with the family of my Pastor who happen to have the same birthday with me. We went to a campsite in Batangas and spent the one 2 days/1 night  there. It was such a refreshing time and my husband enjoyed the trees and the peaceful surroundings.

Couples Night

My husband was invited to sing a few songs in a Valentine event of another church, I was invited too :) whether they like it or not! hahaha!. It was such a lovely evening. They had a game wherein we were asked to write a note for each other. We had fun!

My love note for him :)

Tagaytay Wedding

Hetty and Toph got married last February 18-  You can view some of the pictures in my recent blog post. http://www.godsbestgift.com/2016/02/love-is-in-air.html

The husband was asked to sing again and it was very special because he was asked to sing his very own song (original composition) we learned that it was one of the couple's favorite worship song :) 

 Another wedding coming up!

This Sunday, we will have another out of town wedding to attend to, I'll be one of the Principal Sponsor and my husband's band is singing again :) We are honored and humbled by all the invitations.

It was a busy month for me both work and personal, I just hope I can go back to regular posting soon. I miss blog hopping!

Love is in the air :)

It was a privilege working with this couple. She was the most organized bride I ever had :D every little detail is written with clear instruction. Working with her is so easy and I enjoyed it so much plus the fact that she is our Ninong's daughter.

Awww Mondays

Joining for the first time :)
Because our Suzie is adorable and she doesn't want us to work when we're home.

Remembering the golden wedding

Today is my parents 58th wedding anniversary, Tatay will celebrate it in heaven though. The last celebration they had together was in 2013-their 55th. I am grateful how their marriage stood the test of time, the many trials (including the long wait for a child- they had my eldest sister after 10 years) the hardship of rearing 4 children, sending us to school and a lot more.

I am thankful we were aBle to celebrate their 50th last 2008.

I am missing them both.

Oh Suzie!

She thinks she owns our bed :)

She's 6 months now and she's quiet and behave (when sleeping). I never though I'll enjoy being a pet parent but yes I am loving this cutie so much! Today, my husband gave her a bath and clipped her nails :)

She eagerly awaits for us and very excited when we go home at night, she even knows the sounds of our motorbike!

In ear monitors

First post of my husband :)

"I work as a musician in our church. my job is to study and learn new songs from other church like Hillsong, Planetshakers and many christian band from different part of the  world. its good to play along with their tracks. using my headphone. one time i made a backing track from one of the Planetshakers song in our worship service. while playing along, it's hard for my brother to catch up the beat because we don't have monitor in front so we could hear the backing track clearly, so what did I let my brother used my earphone so he can go with beat. I notice from concerts I watched, the musicians or singers wear in ear monitors so that they can hear themselves and the other musicians clearly without the speaker monitor.

I wish we could have one for our church someday. "

2015 Year end GIFT GIVING

Here are some of the photos!  The kids were all happy and we all had fun!

Major CHANGE

Hello everyone! It's been a while since my last decent update on what's going on in our lives and I have so many things to post, have to remember to make separate blog post for Christmas and New year celebration and of course or gift giving activity in Aurora.

But for now, I'm letting you all know that a major change in our life is coming in the next few months. We were told early of this month that the building where we live (which happens to be a very old building owned by our company) will now be taken down and then they will rebuild a new one. That means, we have to vacate the place and we were given at least 6 months to look for another place to live.

So these days, we were in the hunt again for a new place, which made my husband  excited because finally in he is putting up his home music studio soon in this new place. Now, he is slowly completing his stuff, he bought new computer last December specifically designed for recording and also his musical instrument accessories, hopefully this month he'll be able to buy the audio interface.

I know, it will be totally different and new again for us, moving is not easy, packing and unpacking things is crazy and pure headache but I try to be as excited as my husband, change is inevitable and we have to embrace it whether we like it or not.

The only major concern for me now is to be able to find that perfect place for us, one that suits our needs and of course suits our budget.

New year, new place, new beginnings :)

Happy 2016!

From our heart, thank you for the gift of friendship, for the love and support in all of our endeavors last year. Wishing you all a happy,amazing and wonderful 2016!!!
