Thank you 2014!

Another year has passed by quickly. And for some, 2014 may just be another year, but I call it the beginning of my forever.

Why? Well, I became a wife and a mother in the same year.

The Wedding

Eric and I got married last June 27, 2014. We've been together for a year and a half. For some it might not be long enough, but for us it was more than enough. Sure it wasn't easy. Nothing is. All it took was to be certain that we want to spend the rest of our lives together and rest just fell into place.

The wedding preparation was nerve-wrecking! We were both hands on with everything! From the necessary documents needed, entourage, venue, and all other things! We were thankful some of our family extended their help. It was a good thing our work (and employer) understood us. We were able to have a decent and solemn wedding in 2-months time.

Erin Valentine

The highlight of my 2014 was the day I became a mother. I gave birth to a healthy and beautiful 5.11-pound baby girl we named Erin Valentine. She’s the most precious blessing that we received from God. Erin is such a good girl. Always has been, from womb up until she was born. She never gave me the sick feeling or anything while I was having her. It only took an hour of active labor and then I give birth to her. Truly an angel.

While major, amazing changes in my life happened all in 2014, there are also some difficulties. The biggest was when I have to suffer the consequence of something I did not do. (And never would do) I’d rather not go into details because number one, it’s complicated and number two, it wouldn't change anything. As they say, “Everything happens for a reason.” I may not have fully understood the reason/s was/were but in time I sure will.

I have so much in my mind right now that I want to accomplish this year. Resurrecting this blog is one of them because for 16 months I haven’t had any posts. So for this year I will do my best to regularly write. And maybe do other things, crafting like the ones on Etsy’s perhaps, do a lot of baby stuffs. I am actually working on something for my baby. Since I was not able to document my pregnancy, I surely will do for Erin.

I am so ready to leave all the negative behind. I only have room for positive things in the coming year 2015. With a new year comes a new hope of beginning something we've always wanted to begin. New opportunities to make ourselves better, bolder and brighter!  Cheerio!
