Absence



I know. It's been a while.

Ever since my Rick stopped working and became a full time husband, my days are filled with spending time with him. Seldom do we stay home on days when I don't have to work. Therefore my time in the computer is limited. So, rather than me windows shopping and him watching tv, he prefers to drag me out of the house and find something fun to do. I don't blame him! It can get boring being cooped up in the house all day. What we do varies each day, movie marathons, property hunting, garage sales, pick flowers for the yard, or simply a walk around the block. He just wants to get out of the house. We are into biking this time, the weather is just too beautiful to pass up... besides, we do need the exercise! We are planning to bike around Shell Lake, which is about 9 miles, so this should be interesting.

We went to the Keweenaw Penninsula in Michigan last week. It's beautiful up there. Nature's beauty at it's best! It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful God's creation is. And the way the Americans highlight and preserve it - awesome! I know there's more to see... but so far, not a hint of disappointment in me. While up there, we spent a night at a rustic cabin. Rick found out the hard way that he married a modern Filipina and not a humble girl from the boondocks. Let's just say it wasn't a pleasant stay and he had to hear about it. Some of the little quirks about me that he still didn't know.

Marriage is indeed a lifelong process of getting to know your partner. It will have it's highs and lows, ups and downs. You are each others' cheer leader. It's a journey. Savor every moment.

Greetings




I'm taking a break from my very busy life to greet all mothers out there, who made life more beautiful and meaningful by their presence in this world. Thank you for giving us life.

To my Mama,
On special days like this,

the very best way to say everything
that's in my heart
is to say...

I love you!
