I am really blown away at the love we are being shown here, and how accepted we've become into our families.
Last night, I was absolutely shocked at how much a part of the anniversary ceremony I was asked to participate in. I walked down the aisle two times last night as a part of my Santos Chi family.!Last night I truly felt like Alexa Santos Chi!
Papá, Rigo (13), Manuel Aaron (11), Mamá, Mi, Areli (9)We walked into the ceremony as a family, and left walking to wedding music!
And the singing went alright! Although I didn't fool my mama here, she told me as soon as i sat down that she could tell I wasn't actually singing the whole time. True, but it was because of nerves. I actually couldn't remember the words at first!
In the itinerary, our singing was written "participation of the american ladies" (participacion de las senoritas americanas).
And there is so much more I'd like to write about last night, but I have to run to church right now. I'm also going to try and upload a few pictures from last night. Also, I got to have my hair done at a salon as a gift from a family friend!! :)

Alexa, I am blown away by your beauty.. these photos are so striking.. you look like a beautiful sophisticated lady...and I can't get over how much taller you are than your whole family.. they are also so beautiful... I am full of tears at how your family really made you a part of their family.. I feel so blessed that you have been so well cared for.. and if it is any consolation.. you can sing better than most of your family!
