As we celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary, we thought that it would be cool to have 10 toast throughout the night up until 10 o'clock pm, as a tribute to our 10 years married. we were asked to share our "mile stones" of that year. It was pretty funny! Seriously, there were no surprises when coincidentally, the first 2 years were kind of bypassed. Hahaha! 3rd year literally is when we began to get it all together. Our 3rd year married it was 2001. That was when we moved from our apartment in La Habra, CA to a house in Whittier. our first house! As a result of our enjoyment, we baptized the house, and created another being. In 2002, our 4th year married, we had our little boy, vince "ian" cerda!
2003: 5th year: we came out to "moo-ville" or as the locals called the area "crown town" from whittier, ca to accommodate our growing family
2004: 6th year: both victor and I found ourselves on the unemployment line with a brand new house, lovely taxes and our very own "hoover flags".
2005: 7th year: we were so worried about all the myths in this year, that we decided to do something about it! We were not going to allow any ill feelings or bad thoughts to allow us to get through the 7th year. So, we went to las vegas, nv. We decided to make our 7th year…not the 7year-"itch". We decided to make it "Lucky 7"….big bucks…no whammies! And so, that year, craps in las vegas, was born.
2006: 8th year: we lost our jobs, and were living off unemployment.
2007: 9th year: we decided that we would not endure another year, of having someone dictate whether we could put food on the table, and vowed to each other that we would take a chance and start our own business. So, we looked into a few ventures! One of our really close friends introduced us to this franchise. They decided it wasn't right for them at the time, and so we asked their permission to move forward. And WINESTYLES was born.
2008: 10th year: we always wanted a venue to celebrate our love and marriage. We've always wanted to be witnesses of blessings we've received in our marriage and shout to everyone, our faith, church and God, is why our love for one another is so strong. Victor and I have endured some really tough times. So, to be able to share this win with everyone, is a moment that we have wanted because we know God is real and present in our marriage. So, here in this blog...we are celebrating the day a dream come true. It was 10 years ago July 25, victor and I found a great friendship, partnership & relationship. If it wasn't for God, and His blessings, we would not have been able to make this incredible day happen. We are truly grateful for everything. He has blessed us with. We have met some of the best personalities opening this business. However, we have not forgotten those that seen us at rock bottom. When we were at our low, those friends were there when we were just coming up in the world, and a friendship was all they cared about. Hanging out laughing…hahaha! That is the environment we wanted to create. A place that we could just pick up were we left off. Thanks to everyone's feed back, we have been able to do that!
