San Francisco love...

I cannot believe that my handsome and I have already surpassed the first year of marriage! While I must say that at times we found it hard, I can only be thankful for those times because we have honestly grown so much this year! It literally started off with a BANG! when we lost my car, but we were able to thankfully have supportive parents who helped us get a new car on their credit and of course, us as co-signers! We decided to head up to our favorite city thus far, SAN FRANCISCO! We stayed at the Westin in Downtown. We only went for basically one day, we left saturday at around 5 am and arrived in the middle of a St.Patty's day Parade! We were greeted with a party and ironically, the street we stayed on was Stevenson St. Talk about being well greeted! We had a blast exploring the city right away, we wasted no time walking around and going to places we had heard were great! Here are some of my favorite moments!

We  absolutely fell in LOVE with the city, we're already planning another trip out there soon, maybe at the end of may before the June wedding (Greg&Bea) 

Anywho, 

Life is amazing, I am extremely happy with my marriage, the love that he has for me is unlike any other, I love that he is so sincere and when we disagree, we talk it out. We are definitely both thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives, although we are not perfect and may struggle here and there, we are constantly working out our "kinks."

with much love,

a little bit of this...

Hello! It's been a few weeks since i've last posted on here so another update is due! There has been so much positive this year I'm just so happy things are going the way they are now! I feel like things are well and in balance and if you know me, that equals a very happy Mayra. I'm one of "those" people who need a million things to do at one time in order to feel like i have a life, if not i feel so bored and stuck. So last month i finally got a 24hr fitness pass and i've been going at least 3 times a week! (insert claps here) hahaha! but i've finally been able to shed another 3 pounds and finally get down 10lbs since january. Man is losing weight HARD! I think one thing for me is that I give in to unhealthy food often so i need to stay disciplined if I really want to reach my 140 goal by the end of summer!

Work has been good! I finished by training last month and now waiting to really get to put my skills to work! I love how nice some of my customers are, I really enjoy building relationships with people, It's great to really get to know people and who they are specially when you're only having 3 minute interactions with them. I'm really thankful that people can feel comfortable with me helping them succeed financially.

On a last note, I'm an aunty once again! My cousin(s) had their babies this weekend, one of who'm i have yet to meet (the baby i mean). Daniel Xavier Gonzales was born on April fools, no i am not kidding. I was able to take some adorable pictures of him today, he is so adorable and so tiny! I bought a cannon rebelXS from my cousin last month so i was finally able to take some legitimate pictures. here's a sneak peak of what will hopefully one day be more "mayra stevenson photography" photos!-And might I add that if I did ever go into the photography business which has always been a DREAM, I would definitely specialize in newborns and babies, talk about baby fever!

Isn't he the cutest? It was so much fun to take pictures of his adorable little face! Last night-because i'm totally catching up on this post that I started last wednesday, my cousin Jimmy and his gf Eileen had their baby shower! That's the 3rd baby shower on my moms side and the 5th one in my family in general THIS YEAR, yes, 2013! Talk about baby boom and married "whens your baby coming?" pressure! Haha! But it was a fun night, full of family laughter, babies dancing and one VERY adorable niece called Alyssa, she had me CRACKING UP on the dance floor with her ganaam(sp?) style moves and silly faces, reminded my of my bestie Alyssa! well here are a few pictures of last night!
