K & T’s Wedding

On July 2nd, we attended the first of only two weddings this year.  Coincidentally, both grooms have the same name and their weddings were on back-to-back weekends.

Since we were planning to head to LA for the long weekend, we rented a car one-way to Sacramento and then flew out of SMF to LAX.  I thought the drive was only an hour and a half, but it turned out to be almost three hours with all the traffic.  Thankfully, baby E slept most of the way.

I met K first year at UCLA.  I missed one of my 8am Econ classes and had seen K in my building before.  So, I went looking for him to ask if I could borrow his notes.  Luckily, he didn’t think I was some crazy stalker and let me use them.  Second year, we were both PAs and worked together all the time.  Despite K’s strong personality, we’ve always gotten along great.  I am so happy that he’s found the love of his life T, as they make a perfect couple together.

K and T’s wedding took place at the beautiful Wilson’s Vineyard in Clarksburg.  It was a gorgeous backdrop for their wonderful ceremony/reception.  We are so happy to have been able to celebrate with them on their special day.

The Last of My 20s

It is official…today marks the beginning of the last year of my 20s. Being 29 isn’t a big deal; it’s the looming 3-0 that is. Honestly, I know nothing is really going to change, except being another year older. But having a 3 in front just seems so foreign and strange. It was the same way 10 years ago going from teens to 20s and I am sure it will be like that with each future decade.

We celebrated with lunch at Maggiano’s Little Italy.  Baby E did really well and slept through the whole meal.  We definitely enjoyed our outing as a family.

Two Years Later

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Hubby!

A couple of months ago, I was thinking about our upcoming anniversary and was shocked to realize that it was only going to be our second wedding anniversary.  It felt like we should be celebrating our fourth or fifth.  When I mentioned this to Hubby, he was like no, no…it feels like two years.  A few weeks later, he messaged me to confirm our wedding date.  I asked him why, and he said that he was talking to a co-worker and told him that we were married for a few years (instead of two).  All I had to say to that was, “I told you so!”.

This year our gift to each other is the addition of baby E to our family.  She is such a blessing!

As a reminder of our commitment to each other:

On this special day,
I,…, give to you…,
in the presence of God
and our family and friends,
my sacred promise to stay by your side
in sickness and in health,
in joy and in sorrow,
through good times and bad.
I promise to love you without reservation,
comfort you in times of distress,
encourage you to achieve all of your life’s goals.
I will laugh with you and cry with you,
grow with you in mind and spirit
and cherish you for as long as we both shall live.

This year has flown by.  We moved into our house and did a bunch of DIY remodeling (some of which we are still working on).  We traveled to Hawaii for our first anniversary and Singapore for work.  We enjoyed a summer full of BBQs and continued to experiment in the kitchen.  We got pregnant and had a baby girl.  The memories are plentiful and the love bountiful.

Hubby, here’s to many more to come!  Cheers!
