Love Recollections

{source}

These words are probably what I would say to someone if they asked me how my husband and I met and how we ended up together, married and blissfully in love. 

I see how people can recall all the happy/funny moments they had while they were dating/married, and I feel bad because it's a little harder for me to remember. Maybe if I spent some time to really think about it I would be able to come up with a list of things we did or he did or I did.

Honestly, I cannot remember what he was saying to me just before he asked me to marry him. He had a speech prepared and he was telling me so many beautiful things, in front of our loved ones, and I just couldn't focus on what he was saying. All I could pay attention to was him on his knee, holding my hand. Then he asked and I said yes after a short pause, trying to make him sweat a little. But I knew I wanted to marry him many years before that, so that was all for show, really.

So yes. What Walt Whitman said: "We were together. I forget the rest."

Now we have a son together, and we can't wait to give him a little sister or brother already. Everyday we tell each other how crazy it is just with one child, but always end up telling each other we want another, maybe two more kids. It's just bonkers!

What remains is the love we have for each other, through the tough times and angry-at-each-other times. At the end of the day, we always come back to each other, there's no where else we'd want to be.

Happy Valentine's Day. Totally ignoring my own words a year ago here.

I Promise

It's been almost a year since I declared that I would be more active in posting here. Well, aren't I a big fat liar.

So many things have happened. My beloved grandfather passed away, I quit my pre-school job, and now I'm currently 39 weeks pregnant (!). 

I still love this little blog of mine and I still have high hopes (and dreams) that it will take off some day to be more significant and interesting to people other than myself.

Our baby boy Joel will be popping out any time soon and I know it won't be the best of times to keep up with a blog, but I am still determined to give this one more shot. I have been doodling and playing around with typography, though it's really super amateur.

I also just started sending mail again. So look out for some photos of that. In the mean time, here are a couple of simple stuff I did.

That's all I have to share for now, from the top of my head. Yes, another thing I need to work on is planning my posts a little better.

Okay, I'm off to wait for our son to pop out, or if I do get something good going on, I'll do another post before he decides to say hello to the world :)

peace & love

Lost and Maybe Found

A little dash of pretty photos and words for a Monday. 

I've been at wit's end trying to think about what I have to do to earn a living. The phrase 'at the crossroads' is an understatement. 

While writing this post, I had a call for an interview. So who knows? Maybe something good is coming. Maybe my new year starts February 2013, so Happy New Year! I want to believe that these are happening because I decided to be serious about working out for health and to keep fit. I was sick for almost 3 weeks in January.

Here's to new beginnings, no matter the date.

peace+love
