Happy birthday, Hubby
Posted on: March 23, 2016
Today is Hubby’s birthday.
Happy birthday, hubby!
I’m a terrible gift giver. Lucky for me, Hubby and I aren’t huge on gifts. I think we’ve gone through many occasions in the many years we’ve been together that we don’t give each other anything.
And it’s ok.
However, I don’t want M or K to grow up being a bad gift giver. I want my girls to grow up thoughtful and good gift givers.
Last year, I let M decide what to give her daddy.
Last year, she decided to give him a set of socks.
I asked her why. She told me that daddy needed new socks because he was using his socks to wipe off the white board on her easel and that the socks are now too dirty for him to use. What she didn’t realize were that those socks were old and had holes in them so he really didn’t want to wear them.
It was a very sweet gesture and a very thoughtful gift.
When Hubby heard the explanation, he was very happy to receive his socks.
This year has been a little hectic, she seems at a loss at what to give him.
(I write these blog posts a few days ahead of time, and at the time of writing, we still haven’t gotten him a present yet. We’ll be going to Target soon, so I’m sure we’ll find something!)
Happy birthday, Hubby. You are the greatest dad and husband we could ask for. You work so hard for us and we really appreciate all you do! Thank you for all you do! We pray for continued blessings and many years to come!
We love you!!!
Quality Hubby Time
Posted on: July 22, 2015
With preschool just around the corner, I’ve been working on training M to have an earlier bedtime. We’ve been making good progress and she’s usually in bed by 8:30pm and asleep by 9:00pm. Of course, I’m with her until she falls asleep. Once she’s asleep, I get to go downstairs and hang out with Hubby.
By the time I get downstairs, K is either on her last bottle, or asleep.
Once the kids are asleep, Hubby and I get to spend time together.
It feels like it’s been YEARS since we’ve had alone time together. We actually talk about things, sometimes its the kids, sometimes it’s about TV, sometimes it’s about his work…
The point is… we talk!
It’s pretty refreshing and it’s been a great relationship booster.
I think we get so consumed with parenthood and just trying live our lives from day to day that we’ve forgotten about us.
I’m glad that these early bedtimes are allowing us to reconnect.
Korean BBQ-nivesary time!
Posted on: April 5, 2014
It’s that time of the year when I start looking back at Hubby and my relationship.
Today marks the 6th year anniversary of the very first day we met. We met at a Korean BBQ restaurant, so in continuing our tradition, we will be eating Korean BBQ for one of our meals today. Yum!
Six years!
It’s an understatement to say that we’ve grown a lot in these past six years. We’ve truly become a family.
We’ve had our share of adjustments, especially when M came along, it was a major adjustment.
I feel that only in the past year or so that we’ve finally found our stride again. We are laughing more, sharing more, cuddling more.
Because M was born so fast into our marriage, we had to learn how to become husband and wife AND parents all at once. I don’t regret having M so soon into our marriage, but I will say that it was a major jolt to the relationship. It wasn’t bad, it was just different. We shook up our dynamic by bringing in a child so soon. It’s been work getting us to this point, and I feel like we are finally at an equalibrium. We’ve found our balance between married and parents. We’ve found our stride. We’ve found our routine.
I know that eventually we will be bringing in another child into the mix (no, not pregnant yet). There will be another round of adjustments. There will be another time of unbalance and uncertainty. There will be ups and downs. There will be laughter and tears.
But I know that we are a team, and above all, we are a family. We will always find a way to work together and make it work.
There’s no one else I’d rather go through life with..
Happy “first meeting” anniversary, Hubby!

After watching a commercial about eHarmony.com that featured speed dating.
Me: I never tried speed dating..
Hubby: Me neither. We should do it.
Me: Huh?!
Hubby: Ya, we should do it and see who will get more numbers at the end of the night.
Me: Ok.
Gotta love our competitive spirit…
Be my guest…

The other day, I came up with the brilliant idea of having Hubby guest post on the blog..
That idea did not go over well with Hubby.
But, I think it’s a good idea. He’s been the subject of many of the my blog posts, especially before we had M..
This blog in 2009, when he and I were dating for a little bit under a year. This blog has followed us since then..
A little male perspective on our lives would be a fun little change of pace. I think it would be interesting to see him pop in every so often… don’t you?!
If he did, anything you’d like to see him write about?!
Sunday date..
Posted on: March 12, 2013
I took Sunday off from the blog. It was unintentional. I just totally didn’t have time to write anything, and it’s well known that I have been suffering from a little bit of writers block. I guess a day off was needed.
Sunday was a great day. The weather was marvelous. It wasn’t raining. The sun was out. It was warm, but not hot. We didn’t have to bundle up M in layers of clothes, with a thick coat and blanket. It’s much easier to carry her around when she’s not layered like a big ball of cloth!
We went to the 12:30pm Mass. During Mass, M drank a bunch of milk AND was sleepy. During the car ride after Mass, she fell asleep..
This led to M falling asleep through lunch.. the result of that was a mini-date with the hubby.
We had lunch at a nice little pizza place in a cute little plaza near our apartment. After that, we took a little walk around the little plaza and found ourselves at a frozen yogurt place. We shared a frozen yogurt, how romantic! We finished the “date” with a visit to Fresh & Easy, yes, we know how to party!
Even though M was with us, it was nice to have some quiet time with Hubby. I know we don’t do it enough. Dates are important in every relationship. As M gets older, I’m hoping that I will be brave enough to separate myself from her to give Hubby and I some time alone..
Mommy guilt… that’s a whole other blog entry…

With our two year anniversary coming up one month from now, I feel like there are times I don’t give the hubs enough credit.
In the four years that we have been together, we endured a long distance relationship, long-distance wedding planning, moving in together, and then having a baby..
Four years seemed to have flown by so fast because milestones in our relationship seem to just fly on by..
It’s been nothing but constant adjusting.. from living apart.. to living together.. to living with a child.. and there are days that are definitely easier than others.
But isn’t that true in all relationships?
Now I’m not one to gush and giggle over a relationship.. but I feel the need to give credit where credit is due.
Almost two years into the marriage, we still have a lot to learn.. there is still going to be a lot of adjusting.. but there’s really no one else that I’d rather do this with..
I’ve got a lot to learn about patience, and just letting things work out on their own.. but he’s pretty much mastered that art.. and while I dont always want to keep my cool, I know that he’s there to help me do so..
Makes my heart jump!

So Hubby thinks its funny to hit his hand up against the wall, car door, or anything near by, whenever he’s picking up Little M and carrying her. It makes it seem like he’s hit her against something as he picks her up.
Maybe it’s better seen than heard..
Anyway, I fall for it. Every. Time.
He says that when she’s older he’s going to teach her to react so they can fool Mommy together.
That’s my family.
3 years..

Three years ago, my besties and I took a trip to Sea World..
Little did I know that very day would be the beginning of the rest of my life..
Three years later.. I’ve been married for a little over five months.. and a little over three months pregnant with our first child..
All of that to the guy I met at the Korean BBQ place and shared my rice with..
So amazing how God points you in a direction and guides you through it all.. it’s just amazing..
Anyway.. I’m pretty sure I wrote something similar last year when it was our two year anniversary of meeting each other..
And I’m pretty sure I’m going to be writing something similar every year for the rest of our lives..
We’re starting a tradition that I wanted to start last year.. but since we weren’t living together yet.. it was difficult since it didn’t fall on a weekend..
This year.. and hopefully every year afterward.. we are going to eat at a Korean BBQ restaurant.. we will bring out children with us.. so they can appreciate our history..
Corny? Maybe.. but I think it’s important that our children know that their parents love each other and will hopefully strive for a relationship that will be fulfilling and will make them as happy their parents..
So.. Korean BBQ tonight.. can’t wait!!!
My hubby loves me..

Hubby is the best.. I truly think I have the best hubby.. EVER..
I’m so spoiled.
Yesterday I totally forgot to get gas on my way home from work. I was going to tell the hubby to go with me after he got home so we can go get gas, but he came home too late and I was sooo tired that I forgot to tell him until this morning..
So what does hubby do?
The first thing he does when he gets up this morning is to get dressed and go out and fill up my car.. AND in the process.. buy me a breakfast souffle at Panera Bread! All this while I’m getting ready for work..
I have to remember all the great things he does for me when I’m feeling grouchy about him.. because he truly is a great guy.. I’m lucky to be his wifey..
Living life in the carpool lane..
