Blissful Years of Marriage - Nostalgia # 645

Here's some highlights of our blissful  years of marriage.  Hope you guys won't be bored as my entry for this week is  quite long.

September 2002: He saw my profile at matchmaker site.  He left me his email add, I wrote him, then he called me.  From then on, emails and phone calls were our everyday routine.

January 2003:  I finally accepted him as my  online BF weee.

March 2003:  He came and visited for the first time, our first  face to face  met up. 

August 2003:  He came back and we got married despite of my  father's untimely death.  It was  a very simple  rite but it sealed our relationship.  It was also the tough times of our marriage as I was still in the Philippines and  I badly wanted to  get preggy but  wasn't blessed with one.

  

October 2004:  We  decided to get married  again and this time was in church.  It was also the year I was blessed with our first  baby, though only he stayed for two weeks I got pregnant.  My papers were being processed then but it seemed like it was taking forever.  Separation   was hard, glad there's phone and internet that kept us connected.

May 2005:  My papers finally got approved and I was given  the opportunity to  be with my husband.  I was seven months old preggy  with Ms. Burrito when I flew to Guam (my port of entry) to meet my husband who  was stationed there at that time.

Peers I met during our brief stay in Guam.

July 2005:  Came  a healthy baby girl, Ms. Burrito.  We also bought our Honda Accord  in September of this year.

February 2006:  We bought our home sweet home.  We  renovated it and moved in  in July 2006.

January 2007: Came another new bundle of joy, Mr Burrito.

February 2008:  We went overseas, the beautiful Land of the Morning Come, South Korea.

March and June 2009:  We went for a vacation in the Philippines.  Two months after the vacation we went back again for my  late brother's funeral.

December 2009:  We came back here in the mainland from Korea.

February 2010:  Hubby retired from the Navy and  went back to school.  He will be graduating  next year.

August 2010:  Ms. Burrito started  going to  Kindergarten.  Time flies, she will be in  the first grade  in few weeks.

July 2011:  We decided to have a vacation in Disney, that was  our pre-anniversary celebration.

Tomorrow will b our 8th wedding anniversary.

 

Nostalgia # 13 - Our Civil Wedding

Hey there travelers, sorry for this late entry. Today marked my husband and I's 7th wedding anniversary. Seven years of happiness and bliss together and still counting. My wish is for God to bless us more years of being together and good health so that we could see our children grow up and have a family of their own.

Below is the wedding bands that we had during our civil wedding.

It is now stored in the jewelry box that my daughter had when she was baptized. We bought another set of wedding rings when we got married in church the next year.

The date of our wedding and our names are engraved on it.

Here is the only photo we had during that day. We got married a week after we buried my father so we did not really have a celebration. We hesitated to do it but then my mother told us that it's what my father wanted. The guy in short is my father's bestfriend and our godparents are the principal in my high school (Mr. Galit) and Supply Officer in the same school (Mrs. Venus). Ate Leny (Mrs. Venus) was the one who helped me finish my high school studies, she is also one of our major sponsor's during our church wedding.

Some of you have requested last week for me to share our love story. I actually wrote it when I was just starting this blog but for those who haven't read it yet, you can take a glimpse on On Love and Education post and My Knight in Shining Armour post. Alright folks, gotta attend to some chores, I just squeezed this in. Will visit you guys probably tonight. Thanks once again for travelling with me down memory lane.
