It's me day ❤❤❤

Driving in my swimsuit 80km/hr. Listening to all kinds of rock music. Enjoyed the view, pool all to myself, rested to jack Johnson and John Mayer. 15 minutes sauna and unlimited steam bathing! L'occitane craziness! Feasted to some bolognese and some coolers right after. 🍸This is what I call a fantastic day off!

Mr. Incognito- Dada

Have I told you that you’re the most perfect man I’ve ever met?
The most perfect dad, a daughter could ever wish for? Well, yes you are. I could not imagine life without your teachings, wisdom and trainings. In you, I have learned to swim, drive and that life is pain, and that you need to learn to dance into the rain in order to survive...You have taught me the value of hard work, perseverance and faith in God; and even if you have not taught me, your life is a living testimony to it all.

As a father, you have always made the effort to guide us, sharing your version of what is right and what is wrong, but whether we listened to and followed that guidance has always been mainly up to us. Never a strict disciplinarian (you left that to Mama!), you preferred an approach of logic and reason instead.

I may have disappointed you sometimes, I know, though you are never too harsh with me. I have yet to read the Bible (will I ever do it in your lifetime?), and despite all the quizzes, trivias or debates during lunch time..I still don’t recall important historical facts and dates, nor do I understand politics or recognize politicians to any degree, even though “a judge's granddaughter should know these things or a law student perhaps.!”

Did you prefer that I choose a path different from the one I am now on? Yes, at times. Thank you for trying to influence and prevent me from making mistakes, but at the same time, for giving me the confidence to decide for myself, and the courage to make mistakes of my own anyway.

From you, I inherited my height, my smile, my faith in God and a penchant for reading and writing, some tenacity, a complete disdain of anything related to paperwork, (I remember how you told us stories during your college days, how you would put the dictionary on the second floor just so you could develop the discipline of going down and forth the stairs to learn a few words.lol..) a love for family, and an empathy for others.

When I got married you were there. Supporting me, whatever decisions I will be making. You have made me see the positive and not so positive side of it. When I walked in the aisle in the church with you beside me, how I smiled with teary-eyed.
But you made me feel less worried and even crack a joke while you were holding my hand walking me to Lester.

Thank you for all the life, values, experiences and trainings you have imparted with me. They have been my shield and armour in life.

We do not often say “I love you” out loud to each other, but the silent power of it within our family shouts out, for all the world to see and hear.

From your imperfect daughter with all my love. Happy Birthday and Fathers Day!

Some random pics of me and Lester

It's been 4 years now, how could I forget, the day you were hospitalized and the day you knocked me off my feet, how time flies and here we are, almost two years of being husband and wife.

We've laughed together, we've cried together, we've fought for and with one another; we've worked and we've played to be where we are today.

I have loved, sure. I have been loved by family, by friends, but the truth is, I have never loved like this, or been loved like this. There is no measurement that could capture it, and this time next year I will know a greater capacity of love, as I will every year after that, because when you meet that person that completes your soul - you hold on to them, and when you do that, you experience love and life you never knew existed. That's exactly what is going on here. A love that only grows with the day, next to you on the good days, and even closer on the bad.

Love isn't easy, we learned that early on, but something I learn a little bit more every.single.day. is that it's absolutely worth it. Because there is no one else on this planet that can give me a look, seeing into my heart making me let down my guard only to break into your arms, because that's where it's safe. There is no one else that can make me smile and laugh even on the bad days, where I couldn't want to either any less. No one else knows my likes, my dislikes and my habits the way that you do. No one else that I want to create and raise children with. No one else I look forward to the next sixty + years with.

One of those unplanned trips

Those unplanned dates with Lester. Feels like first dates...😘Holding my hand while driving, opening the car door, stealing a kiss and running away! Taking candid pics whenever I'm not looking! Those subtle priceless moments. I am blessed😍😍😍

A night of fun =)

Today, I don't feel like doin anything

Staying home from work and I don’t care.
Gonna spend my day in my underwear.
Gonna eat sweets and lie around.
Pretend my phone is nowhere to be found.
Not gonna think anything profound.
Gonna watch the space channel.
Under my sheets made of flannel.
A hot bath with lots of bubbles.
Aroma therapy to ease my troubles.
Now you might think that I am lazy.
But I really just want to be a little bit crazy.
Pop a trank. and life gets hazy.
Eat a steak with lots of gravy.
Basically just want to be bed ridden.
Ain't no rule says that’s forbidden.

My handsome nephews 10th birthday

Pizza, pasta, and whole lotta kiddie appetizers for our all grown up lad. 

Movies with neighbors kids right after.
