- My favorite quote about love goes...“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.” from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin. I must confess I've never watched the movie but I've loved that quote since I read it the first time! hehe so you must imagine my surprise and excitement when my husband started his vows with that exact quote. :D It was perfect. He was perfect. I am still all gooey inside when I think about it.
Weee...how lovely it is to be loved. My heart is a happy little heart. Anyway, enough with the cheese...for now. I've been blessed with a lot this year. A lot of changes have been happening and as my aunt texted me about a month ago, 2 big things happened for me this year. A change in surname and a change in career. Although there is always uncertainty when you venture out on your own there is also that excitement for what the world has in store for you. So even if recently I've been scared sh*tless because of the possibility that this might not work out I'm even more excited because I know God has so much more blessings to shower upon us.
On a more personal note, no we're not pregnant so please stop asking..LOL I'm having the time of my life being a wife. :D Ok, so I don't do all the stuff normal wives might do. I'm still lucky enough that I don't have to manage a household or do chores. But I still make sure I take care of the things my husband, eeep, still not used to that term, might need. Oh, and I love spoiling him. Making him happy makes me happy. So the PS4 might not have been the best idea, everyone keeps telling me I'll never hear from him again, I'm still happy about it cause he's like a little boy all excited. Oh, and I get to do whatever I want since he's always on that thing anyway. Win - win! :D
2014 is going to be a year of many firsts. I've given us a budget and the idea is to stick to it, although I'm already thinking it might not be enough. What a challenge! I've also decided that in 2014 I'm not going to go crazy shopping...all the time. It's time to invest wisely. I'm so freaked out because I think I'm starting to sound like a grown up. Waaaaah! It's so surreal. So here's to a better year for everyone.
Oh, and before I get too lazy to write another blogpost let me try to write down my resolutions for the year...bear with me here.
- Learn to live within a budget. A non-negotiable budget. LOL. There are just some things we can learn to live without. I won't die if I don't get to buy all the crap I love buying.
- This year I must learn to keep with the yoga program. Last year was crazy, loosing weight because of the stress was easy now they're back and they want to take over the world.
- Travel more with the husband. Although this may be extremely difficult because he has an extremely inflexible schedule I think short trips can be arranged. :D
- Learn to cook...or at least get back in the kitchen. It won't kill anyone until it actually does. Hehe...
- Spend time with family. Because in the end they are the people who matter.
So here's to an awesome 2014 for all of us! :D
