You have been graced with wonderful energy and a vibrant personality, a great hostess indeed. So, where did you get that fabulous dress for the Wedding? Loved it, loved it.
Ally you sound so full of life and like a very fun person to be around! Wow and boy were you ever busy preparing for this wedding. I can't wait to see the pictures going to that post now! sya.
Well done Ally! You made it through the last three weeks! Just reading about it I could sense how hectic it has been for you. Maybe you will have a bit more of a slow-paced life before you get ready for Christmas!
I have been meaning to reply to the email you sent with pics of Susana's wedding but keep forgetting !! She looked so beautiful ! As did you ! Looks like it was a great great day !! How fun to have so many family and friends together in one place !!
I think you're in desperate need of a holiday. You have been so busy! Hope you will have a peaceful Christmas.
Wow! What a full & lovely life! Your family is so beautiful! It looks like a lovely wedding as well! And goodness you have been very busy! I certainly hope you have a had time for a "cup of tea" and to recoup since then!
Thanks for visiting! I love vistors too! I will be a regular! I don't know how I missed you all this time!
I feel like I have met a long lost blogging friend!
