December 12th is La Virgen de Guadalupe's birthday. The hubby and I always make a date to go to the Placita Olvera here in Los Angeles to say "Happy Birthday" as well as thank her for watching over us.
This year was even more meaningful to us as we truly feel we've been blessed with a miracle. After 9 years of trying to have a baby... we just found out that in a few months a miracle baby will join our family. We're no longer going to be a couple. We're a family.
So we took the train to the Placita Olvera and made our way to the church.
And there she was in all her glory. We weren't the only ones there. The church was full of people wanted to give her thanks. Both my hubby and I got on our knees and thanked her for this blessing. I thanked her for giving me 2011. It has been an amazing year. I know 2012 will only bring me many more blessings. It was a truly spiritually moving experience for me. I couldn't contain my tears of joy. I was overwhelmed with it all.
After praying Manuel and I had a seat and remained inside the church quietly. I told him I was so happy. Of course he knew that and held me tight.
Overall, it was a beautiful day and experience. Here are some pictures of our day.
