Marriage: The first year.


I absolutely love the way she sleeps. :)

When people tell you the first year of marriage is not a walk in the park, believe them. I rushed into this whole relationship and it has definitely been quite an eventful ride. We moved in together only after a couple months, married before a year and then instantly became pregnant with a precious baby girl. Sometimes I wish I would've taken things a lot slower. There's so many things you don't see until you live together, until you become his wife. All those little things that drive you crazy, you didn't realize that he's one of those guys who does all those things! But at the end of the day, no matter how crazy it drives you, he's still your love. I have to say, if it weren't for the grace of God, we wouldn't have been able to stand each other at all. So I must say, God is good!

After you've ignored all your Aunties' advice that's when you realize they were right and you have so much to learn. That you don't know everything. So ladies, when the older women in your family give you advice, take it and remember it. Your life will be so much easier and drama-free!

I have this Aunt who just loves to talk, so she lectures anyone and everyone nearby. You don't even have to be related to her, lol! She gives you quite an earful but definitely speaks out of love. She wants the best and you're too busy thinking you know it all. My mom was never around so I guess with that I always thought, she's not my mom. Who is she to talk to me this way? Eh, dumb move grasshopper! She is now one of my favorite aunties. Everytime I'm in town I'll try to visit her and get some good home cooked chinese food while I'm there.

Now let's move on to the more important topic, baby update!
She did it, she said her first word two days ago, Sunday morning. "Mama." I'm so proud of her especially since she's only three months old. Also, another great milestone, when I say Ohhhh, she says it too. And speaks her jibberish when I speak to her. She's such a smart baby! Thank God! I was hoping she would be! Below is a video of my baby girl speaking to me.

I'm just about ready to run out and buy all of the Baby Einstein videos!
