Cathedral's 10th anniversary

Mike and I had the honor of attending the cathedral's 10th anniversary mass and gala today.  We weren't really sure what to expect, but we had the BEST time!!! We were seated with Monsignor Kevin, Fr. Francis, Mike Mesa, Egren, a a couple of other seminarians and had a wonderful evening.  It was great to hear people speak about how much they love the cathedral and how much they love being a Catholic.  The committee really outdid themselves in putting together an amazing celebration.  They even had fireworks!!!

Towards the end of the evening, we ended up dancing the night away with Diana and Rodrigo, Monsignor Kevin, Fr. Francis and even Fr. Angel!! It was great partying it up with them -- they all know how to have a good time for sure!!  As an added bonus, since there were so many centerpieces left, we were asked to bring as many as we could home!  And you know Filipino and Mexicans don't pass up that kind of offer, right?!  The centerpieces were beautiful and we figured we could definitely use them to spruce up the rooms at Grace Living =).

All in all, Mike and I had a fabulous adult evening!  We are so proud to be a part of the Cathedral Community and we look forward to seeing it continue to grow and mature in the upcoming years!!!

(PS: They also played the video we were featured in at the gala!  It was so cool to see us woven into the Cathedral story!!)


We look so grown up =)


Check out our loot!!!

Monsignor Kevin even let us use a flat bed dolly to make
 it easier to transport to our cars =)

Here's the video celebrating 10 years at the Cathedral:

And here's the cool fireworks:



Breaking news:
Since I knew it was probably going to be a late night, I told Tita Bot to try to "trick" Zoe into going to sleep by putting her in front of the tv and letting her lie down.  True enough, it worked!!!  I think she lasted until about 11:30 or midnight (still way too late for bedtime) but at least she got her to go to sleep!! Hahahaha!


The next day, Zoe and I, along with mom and Jeric, attended the official 10th anniversary mass at the Cathedral (Mike had a fantasy football draft to attend lol).  There were a lot of people and a lot of anniversary cake on the plaza.  Luckily, Zoe's Ninong, Kevin, took her straight to the front of the line to get her piece of cake (ahhh the benefits of having Monsingor Kevin as your ninong!).  Happy birthday COLA!!! We love you!




Line? What line?
