** WARNING : ULTRA LONG POST **
16th of April is a VERY special day. because on this very day in 2008, Hubby & I got together. Last year, we went for a simple dinner to celebrate cuz i was expecting pumpkin. This year, we are still goin for a simple dinner but with e companion of pumpkin. As a memory of our journey together, i've decided to blog abt our past 24mths.
that was us in the beginning. things were lovely. we were totally in love with each other. though we had different working hours, but we still managed to meet up at least thrice every week. i still rmbr how much i love when hubs could fetch me to work every monday.
towards the end of May was my graduation. FINALLY i graduated from poly n were no longer a student. it was also arnd this time that hubby & I started havin slight cracks. though we talked tings out eventually, but e pain still lingers.
End of July was Hubby's birthday. i plan a 'party' for him n gave him tons of pressies. i believed.. that was hubby's best birthday ever. psst... im planning a BIGGER surprise this year. definitely :)
August was really e start of our honeymoon period again. we travelled overseas together for e 1st time. though e destination was onli Genting. but it was a reali fun trip. many many memories. lets hope this year we'll b able to bring pumpkin along.
September n October were relaxed n chill out. spending quality time at home or simple shoppin at JB. life was really good. and we celebrated our 1st Mid-Autumn together too. over at chinatown carryin lanterns n playin candles.
November was more of a sight seeing period for us. i rmbr us gg science centre n bird park to explore. and i guess it was arnd this time that me n hubby started livin together. tings aint that simple at first. we had to get used to each others different habits n lifestyles. quarrels did arise occasionally.. putting our r/s on a strain. but hubby was more magnanimous, givin in to me everytime. and i guess... it was arnd tis period of time that we both tot of gettin a flat real soon. havin our own love nest was our dream.
December passed real fast. probably cuz of long holidays. We din really have much events that month. except for tryin to ballot for a flat :)
Jan-Feb were both superb months. my birthday, cny n our BKK getaway. e trip was really super memorable. cuz many unexpected events happened. and it was this month tat baby bryan was conceived.
after knowing abt e pregnancy, we decided to tie e knot and bring up the little life.although e preparations were rush, but hubs & I had adequate time to prepare n plan, allowing us to enjoy the process very much. and with the little life nurturing within me, we were both elated.
After the weddin in May, we got ourselves busy with e preparations for baby bryan's arrival. goin for gynae checkups became a routine. it was a joy seeing our little one through e ultrasounds. and for hubs birthday celebrations this year, it was just a simple dinner at swensen's. As the due date got closer, my baby bump grew alot bigger, limiting my outings to only every weekend.
FINALLY after 10months of waiting, our precious gem arrived in November. tings started to get real busy n tough for Hubby, having to juggle both work n family at the same time. But he never complains cuz being able to see ur little one grow daily, every effort made is worthwhile.
For 4months since 2010 arrived... hubby & I are still learnin to cope with a new addition to the family. Being 1st time parents, parenthood has been very challenging. We are spending much more time at home now as compared to before. taking care of bryan is really tiring but satisfying. being able to see his smile at the end of the day is the greatest achievement. Now that bryan is older, bringin him out is alot easier. hopefully, things will get alot smoother.
Just like lightning... 2 years have passed. Many things have changed. And before anyone realizes... my little pumpkin have transformed into a mega pumpkin. time seriously does not wait for anybody. Truly... i wish time would pass a little slower for me to rmbr every joyous moments.
To my dearest Hubby :
we've been together for 2 years/24months/730 days/17520 hours/1051200 mins/63072000 secs :)
thank you very much for tolerating my nonsense for the past 2years. although tings havent been very smooth sailing at first, but im glad that we both managed to overcome every obstacle together. i am really very grateful for the care n support u've shown towards me after the birth of baby bryan. i know my actions havent been showing so, but deep down... i really love u darling. I am looking forward to celebrating more anniversaries with u down the road. i promise to control my fiery temper as much as i can.
Ur Wifey,
Jeanette
