Oh September!

 

September has always been a month I look forward to, not just because it's my birthday month (15) but also my hubby's birthday month (17) and our wedding month (civil 17... church 18)...

Now, September would also be the month that Daddy left us and joined his Creator.



Happy Birthday Baby!

Papa Garcia also celebrates his birthday on the same month as I do! 
So he would always joke around when my birthday comes because we are of the same age for 2 days before he adds another year to his age. 

We usually choose one day to celebrate both our birthdays. 
Surprise each other with gifts.
It's so much fun to have the same birthday month.

11 years and counting!

This year, we celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary.
Wow, can't even believe that it has been 11 years since we first started writing our love story together...and I would love to continue writing it til eternity.

To my dear hubby, as I have always said...always remember that
"My LOVE will stand when all else has fallen..."

I love you and Happy Anniversary!

Breakfast Date

 

Wednesday, the midweek.

Made a surprise visit to Hubby's office today and casually invited him for a breakfast date at Starbucks. We had a wonderful time talking without the kids interrupting us and asking for attention. 

You see, having a date for both us happens only if we have family who are visiting because we have them to look after the kids...and that is if hubby is in Singapore and not on a ship visit in another country.

Looks like we will be doing this on a weekly basis from now on even for just an hour. It was worth the trip from Paige's school to the business district and back.

Looking forward for our next breakfast date. 

35 years of Love and Marriage!

“A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, 

tolerance and tenacity. 

The order varies for any given year.”

Quoted by: Paul Sweeney

35 years of Love and Marriage...Wow!

My mom and dad have always been role models for me to look up to. Be it to their marriage or on how they brought us up.

Whenever I feel down or having a difficult time dealing with the usual "ingredients" of being married, I always think of them...I always think about how they were able to handle their relationship. I know that every marriage is different but having my parents as role models helped me become a mature individual. It helped me become a better wife and mother.

I have a lot to thank my parents for...but the most important is about teaching us the value of family because with it, my siblings and I were able to be strong individuals able to face the world with our heads up because we know that we are anchored in our family' s love.

Thank you Mom and Dad.

Thank you for keeping the love alive between the two of you... 

Happy 35th Wedding Anniversary!
We love you!
