Happy 5th!

My husband is a man of few words (something we don't have in common, haha!) so I will make this short and sweet. . . 

Huney. . . we've been together for so many years and there were times that I almost gave up on us. . .but I'm glad I didn't.

It didn't matter (before and it still doesn't matter now) that there was no elaborate proposal, that you didn't bend down on one knee and I didn't get the chance to say "Yes" (but I did say "I Do"!). . . but we had that one moment, just you and me, when we knew that it was the right time to take that big leap of faith.

It has been five years and we just have more reasons to live and love more . . .

To my Dearest One. . .

Happy Anniversary!

I love you . . .

Happy Anniversary!

Before I got together with Zola's Dad, I came from a long term relationship (with my so-called "first love").  And after crying my heart out (until I got pathetic! Haha!), I suddenly had fears of how my life is going to be after the break-up.  "What if I couldn't love another person with the same passion". . ."What if I can't move on and start over" . . ."What if I won't be happy ever again". . . or worse, "What if there's no one?!"

But all of these changed when Zola's Dad and I got together.  It wasn't love at first sight.  We were just friends who enjoyed each other's company.  And as we found ourselves smiling more, we realized we like each other more and took a chance with each other.  Our relationship wasn't perfect and there were times I almost gave up.  But the beauty of getting hurt is  after all the drama brought by a broken heart, you learn to accept that you can be a better person.  And being a better person meant being a better partner.      

The road to my "Happily Ever After" wasn't easy.  If getting my heart broken meant leading me to my Prince Charming, I am embracing all the pain, the tears, the sleepless nights I've been through.  

Zola's Dad and I may not be each others' first love but we are each others' last.

Dada, they say "good things come to those who wait". . . I'm glad I did.

Thank you very much for the love and care.  Thank you for showing me that I can be happy again and that I still have much to give.  

Thank you for being more than what I hoped and prayed for.

Happy Anniversary!

I love you . . .always and forever.

Missing Daddy. . .

*Photos and onsite AVP by Mimi and Karl (www.mimiandkarl.com)

The background music was supposed to be "Falling" by Tyrone Wells (love the song! Thanks Mimi for choosing this song!) but You Tube unfortunately blocked it from the video. Hmph! Oh well . . .

My friend X (her name really starts with X!) watched our wedding AVP and told me that if I get annoyed with hubby, I should just watch it again. . . just to see how in-love hubby is with me! Hahaha! (X, you're really a friend!) She is just kidding ofcourse, heehee. But seriously, watching this video always brings me back to the joy and beauty of that day.

Well, my friend, I'm watching this again not because hubby and I had a spat but because I miss him. . . SO MUCH! *this is where some dramatic love song should be playing* Hahaha!

He is thousands of miles away from us. . . *sigh*. . . .this Long Distance Relationship (will be reserving this for another entry) is really challenging, especially now that we have the Little One. Okay, I'll stop na or else I won't be able to finish this because I'm about to cry . . . . again.

Daddy, sending you hugs and kisses from me and the Little One.

We love you and we can't wait to see you again!
