We're back!!!

It's been almost three (3) years since I last updated this blog. Glad to finally be back to blogging. Plus, hubby will be joining me in updating this blog. Isn't that cool? :-)

So what happened these past years?

1. We are blessed with some trips/travel.

Hongkong & Macau - August 2012

Bohol - Nov 2012

Cebu - April 2014

2. We also attended Couple's Getaway (Love Will Keep Us Together) on Oct 2012.

 

3. We have volunteered in VCF-Alabang Kid's Church.
4. We're blessed to be able to buy our reliable car - "Faith"


But life isn't full of sunshine or a bed of roses for us. We've also experienced some pains....
1. My dad returned home to his Creator on 18 Nov 2011, 2days short for his 91st bday and our 1st wedding anniversary. Oh I miss you daddy!

2. My bro-in-law Pao (Hubby's bro) suffered from Guillain Barre Syndrome on Nov 2013. He's still recovering and even with his hands still stiffed and still on a wheel chair he made this wonderful "eye" piece.

With all that happened to us, we still thank and praise God and we're looking forward to whatever is in store for us the coming days.

There are other DIYs not included in the picture, especially those for the reception. 
I still feel giddy whenever I remember our Big Day. I can't believe we're turning 1year next month! Weeeh! :-)

Thank you for being my Dad...

Instead of having our (Stan and I) childhood photos, I asked John Marvi of Cinemaworks to make an AVP for my dad. He celebrated his 90th birthday exactly on our wedding day. My decade long prayer has been answered - dad walked me down the aisle and we had the father-and-daughter dance.

Thank you for being my dad. I love you so much.

Note: The persons in the video were my nephew and niece based abroad . We asked them to send a video greeting since they're the only Apos not present that day.
