I know I have been neglecting the blog since I started vlogging and mommy life but I had to at least write a short post celebrating my 4th wedding anniversary. It only makes sense considering the blog started because of my wedding plans. Like any relationship we had our ups and downs but between it all we stayed together because we are a team guided by our Heavenly Father. So here's to 4 years and many more to come! This our journey and we have only begun!!</div>

The moment I found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted to document the journey. However, the task was harder than I thought. I want to lie and say I took pictures everyday but the truth is, there were mornings that the thought of getting up to put on the required attire just wasn't happening. However, I took as many pictures I could either day or night regardless of the lighting hence the visible differences in the video. As I compile the photos, it brings back memories and emotions followed by laughter as I watch my little being trying to nibble on my thumb. I hope you enjoy going down memory lane with me; thanks for reading and watching!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm excited to share the gender of our baby!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I actually wanted to wait until birth (labor/delivery) to find out the gender but my husband was too eager and not willing to wait. So, we had to compromise! At first I wanted to put together a gender reveal party and find out with family and friends. As we explored further in the idea, we realized we preferred to find out in an intimate setting for our first child. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We went in for my ultrasound and asked the tech to put the revealing photo in an envelope. I was sure to hide it away from my husband because I knew he would peek behind my back. Later in the week I purchased a card board box along with fabric and used card stock I already had to pretty up the box. I gave the box and the card to my sister so she can take it to a party store so they can fill it with the appropriate balloons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted both videos and photos, unfortunately we couldn't find two available people at the (same available) time we needed to record and the other the snap photos. What do you do when you can't get both? A time lapse video. My sister was an awesome help willing to come over and snap the photos for us. I went back and forth with the idea of taking the images outside, at a park etc.. but in the end it made sense to do the reveal in baby Rema's future nursery to make it more personal and intimate as we wanted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So there you have it; here's the video and we hope you enjoy watching as it was for me to put it together!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So you probably have been wondering "where have I been?". Well, simply stated a lot was going on in my life. The beginning of the year I was sick, dealing with a some health issues. So I decided it was best to take a break and take care of myself. Not too long afterwards this happened:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which explained some of the health issues and which meant I really needed to take a break. God had chosen us to be parents and I needed to get well, take care of myself and follow doctor orders so I could carry this gift from above. Thankfully, all has been well and gotten better so I am back!!! Can't wait to fill you in on our life changes.</div>

Briefing: We pick a location (Target, Ross, Walmart, etc..) every other month to pick gifts for each other to see how creative we can get with a set budget between $10-$20. </div>

I've been seeing these date night jar ideas circulating the web and thought this would be a great idea to heighten the spontaneity we already take on our current dates, also eliminate the few indecisive moments. It was important for us to be realistic with the ideas we placed in the jar and not be too vague.<br />

I only posted 30 of them and stated I wanted to make sure 31 was long term. Yes, it is overdue but I wanted to make sure I was doing this for almost a year consistently before I posted about my long term act of kindness.</span><br />

Well, I volunteer at Orlando Regional Medical Center once a week or depending every other week. Recently, some of the staff asked if my hours were almost up because they noticed volunteers I started with had already completed their assignments and were no longer volunteering. I replied "No, I'm just volunteering as a way to give back to my community". You should have seen their faces! Priceless, indeed!</div>

My challenge to you, is even if you can't devote your time as often, always find a way to give back. I started with helping with community service through my church, we distributed food to those in need. I still volunteer with the church occasionally. Share your skills, visit the elderly, mentor a child/teenager, find the nearest food pantry and donate or more!! A few minutes of your time can and will make a difference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Until next time, be ready as you can be!!</div>

<i><b>It is said that the first year of marriage is traditionally symbolized by paper (modern: clock). </b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
About a year ago I was given the special role of "Maid of Honor" (MOH) for a close friend of mine. As a MOH, I wanted to not only fulfill all the responsibilities as the bride's right hand lady but make sure she had memorable moments beyond the day itself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a newlywed myself (well, 2 years now) it still brings me joy when I look at anything from our wedding day. As a way to relive the same memories for my friend, as her 1 year anniversary approached I put together a simple yet meaningful gift.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I saved her wedding program, a copy of the speech I read (on card stock), printed a few her wedding photos along with photos we took over the yeas and created a frame. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Pick a frame, I purchased a 16x20 with the mat but removed it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxgwBMZguSHHpjfRqH7aVbecyUibr81Js4fB1D-kiIs9fDSOBF-dX6pH5SisWWx935iwe_D5HDLc546JIJY8i2ta8heqRVRHk4eU47VdBClB8RTafpfTmlyzfTPPqyKN2mr_pPuCdkgtI-/s1600/moh1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxgwBMZguSHHpjfRqH7aVbecyUibr81Js4fB1D-kiIs9fDSOBF-dX6pH5SisWWx935iwe_D5HDLc546JIJY8i2ta8heqRVRHk4eU47VdBClB8RTafpfTmlyzfTPPqyKN2mr_pPuCdkgtI-/s400/moh1.jpg" width="318" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Scissors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Glue ( I used the hot glue gun for the fabric and the liquid glue for the photos.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Fabric (I chose a darker fabric because it wouldn't take away from the photos but gave it a nice touch.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh75aya9VsR_EGg4WdfI9JHSvcPfV40eBDshN1l5hIDBRQ9H7q0GGNGnaIhBuijlEm_YF_dIzwERnK1qObZs__J863TGVdLSLteudphiBivwbwWM2PWZ038V1gg-98VHSdcSYeNWqedpPXn/s1600/moh2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh75aya9VsR_EGg4WdfI9JHSvcPfV40eBDshN1l5hIDBRQ9H7q0GGNGnaIhBuijlEm_YF_dIzwERnK1qObZs__J863TGVdLSLteudphiBivwbwWM2PWZ038V1gg-98VHSdcSYeNWqedpPXn/s400/moh2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Glue the fabric to the board (make sure you are ready before you apply the hot glue, it dries fast.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEiCYreONBPDDTPxS_I4uLly6JVqVD58BwYK2yLT9bveavVevg4RJpNoeMCsZNI-K1uKcxUFZ8od_iHhzWg_bTPmFRyysYZHgO6GSeahRlZLchdhUTbkRDkV79yxA1OQOUKhQPfm1I1I1y/s1600/moh3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEiCYreONBPDDTPxS_I4uLly6JVqVD58BwYK2yLT9bveavVevg4RJpNoeMCsZNI-K1uKcxUFZ8od_iHhzWg_bTPmFRyysYZHgO6GSeahRlZLchdhUTbkRDkV79yxA1OQOUKhQPfm1I1I1y/s400/moh3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Turn the board and lay it flat to remove creases and cut the fabric along the edges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtqmWMVhikAxnFjW8ON4Fv5MVbHbctXd3k4Qm30Ss2-uwQsDTgtxTPEkHg-HORxhr5ct5lP8aKSa_c7_wXXWbcbCWio6kSC_WFxZ1Zjy_3qpzFV9DEJuZMtxtcsTnYkOnyQ9QTdlFv6G0E/s1600/moh4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtqmWMVhikAxnFjW8ON4Fv5MVbHbctXd3k4Qm30Ss2-uwQsDTgtxTPEkHg-HORxhr5ct5lP8aKSa_c7_wXXWbcbCWio6kSC_WFxZ1Zjy_3qpzFV9DEJuZMtxtcsTnYkOnyQ9QTdlFv6G0E/s320/moh4.jpg" width="274" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. Arrange the items and play around with them until you make good use of the space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you have it arranged to your liking then apply the adhesive.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #727272; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Video created in 2009 for the friends I met and experiences while living in Korea. It was hard condensing 2 years and hundreds of pictures to a video. Though 12 mins long, it’s only a snippet of all the moments.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I began playing around and making videos/picture montages about 5 years ago. Most of them, I have only shared with family and close friends. I have decided to make them public (even the crappy ones) because I had fun putting them together, so why not show case them. Displaying my old work only encourage me to get back in to the fun of video composing and editing. Enjoy!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am finally going through wedding photographs to pick out images for the coffee table books we are putting together for our parents. As I browse through, I am full of joy, tears and unexplainable feelings from so many unforgettable moments. One of them that I wanted to share was our appreciation ceremony. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After God, if it weren't for our parents we wouldn't have been the individuals we are today. Therefore, it was fitting to acknowledge them on our special day. Our Pastor said a few words while we walked up to his grandmother, mother and my parents and thanked them with a small token of appreciation which was a rose. It was a special moment indeed because as they thought the Pastor was going to end the wedding ceremony, it was actually a moment for them.</div>

Hello loves,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I came across this article from Gerald Rogers. which he discusses key points of what he wish he had known prior to going through his divorce. The points spoke volumes, so I felt the need to share. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. </div>

MARRIAGE ADVICE I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD:</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Obviously, I’m not a relationship expert. But there’s something about going through divorce that gives you perspective of things you wish you would have done different… After losing a woman that I loved, and a marriage of almost 16 years, here’s the advice I wish I would have had…</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
1) Never stop courting. Never stop dating. NEVER EVER take that woman for granted. When you asked her to marry you, you promised to be that man that would OWN HER HEART and to fiercely protect it. This is the most important and sacred treasure you will ever be entrusted with. SHE CHOSE YOU. Never forget that, and NEVER GET LAZY in your love.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
2) PROTECT YOUR OWN HEART. Just as you committed to being the protector of her heart, you must guard your own with the same vigilance. Love yourself fully, love the world openly, but there is a special place in your heart where no one must enter except for your wife. Keep that space always ready to receive her and invite her in, and refuse to let anyone or anything else enter there.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
3) FALL IN LOVE OVER and OVER and OVER again. You will constantly change. You’re not the same people you were when you got married, and in five years you will not be the same person you are today. Change will come, and in that you have to re-choose each other everyday. SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO STAY WITH YOU, and if you don’t take care of her heart, she may give that heart to someone else. Always fight to win her love just as you did when you were courting her.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
4) ALWAYS SEE THE BEST in her. Focus only on what you love. What you focus on will expand. If you focus on what bugs you, all you will see is reasons to be bugged. If you focus on what you love, you can’t help but be consumed by love. Focus to the point where you can no longer see anything but love.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
5) IT’S NOT YOUR JOB TO CHANGE OR FIX HER… your job is to love her as she is with no expectation of her ever changing. And if she changes, love what she becomes, whether it’s what you wanted or not.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
6) TAKE FULL ACCOUNTABILITY for your own emotions: It’s not your wife’s job to make you happy, and she CAN’T make you sad. You are responsible for finding your own happiness, and through that your joy will spill over into your relationship and your love.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
7) NEVER BLAME your wife If you get frustrated or angry, it is only because it is triggering something inside of YOU. When you feel those feelings take time to get present and to look within and understand what it is inside of YOU that is asking to be healed. You were attracted to this woman because she was the person best suited to trigger all of your childhood wounds in the most painful way so that you could heal them… when you heal yourself, you will no longer be triggered by her, and you will wonder why you ever were.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
8) Allow your woman to JUST BE. When she’s sad or upset, it’s not your job to fix it, it’s your job to HOLD HER and let her know it’s ok. Let her know that you hear her, and that she’s important and that you are that pillar on which she can always lean. The feminine spirit is about change and emotion and like a storm her emotions will roll in and out, and as you remain strong and unjudging she will trust you and open her soul to you… DON’T RUN-AWAY WHEN SHE’S UPSET. Stand present and strong and let her know you aren’t going anywhere. Listen to what she is really saying behind the words and emotion.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
9) BE SILLY… don’t take yourself so damn seriously. Laugh. And make her laugh. Laughter makes everything else easier.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
10) FILL HER SOUL EVERYDAY… learn her love languages and the specific ways that she feels important and validated and CHERISHED. Ask her to create a list of 10 THINGS that make her feel loved and memorize those things and make it a priority everyday to make her feel loved.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
11) BE PRESENT. Give her not only your time, but your focus, your attention and your soul. Do whatever it takes to clear your head so that when you are with her you are fully WITH HER. Treat her as you would your most valuable client. She is.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
12) BE WILLING TO TAKE HER SEXUALLY, to carry her away in the power of your masculine presence, to consume her and devour her with your strength, and to penetrate her to the deepest levels of her soul. Let her melt into her feminine softness as she knows she can trust you fully.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
13) DON’T BE AN IDIOT…. And don’t be afraid of being one either. You will make mistakes and so will she. Try not to make too big of mistakes, and learn from the ones you do make. You’re not supposed to be perfect, just try to not be too stupid.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
14) GIVE HER SPACE… The woman is so good at giving and giving, and sometimes she will need to be reminded to take time to nurture herself. Sometimes she will need to fly from your branches to go and find what feeds her soul, and if you give her that space she will come back with new songs to sing…. (okay, getting a little too poetic here, but you get the point. Tell her to take time for herself, ESPECIALLY after you have kids. She needs that space to renew and get re-centered.)</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
15) BE VULNERABLE… you don’t have to have it all together. Be willing to share your fear and feelings, and quick to acknowledge your mistakes.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
16) BE FULLY TRANSPARENT. If you want to have trust you must be willing to share EVERYTHING… Especially those things you don’t want to share. It takes courage to fully love, and part of that courage is allowing her to love your darkness as well as your light. DROP THE MASK… If you feel like you need to wear a mask around her, and show up perfect all the time, you will never experience the full dimension of what love can be.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
17) NEVER STOP GROWING TOGETHER… The stagnant pond breeds malaria, the flowing stream is always fresh and cool. Atrophy is the natural process when you stop working a muscle, just as it is for a relationship that isn’t focused on growing. Find common goals, dreams and visions to work towards.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
18) DON’T WORRY ABOUT MONEY. Money is a game, find ways to work together as a team to win it. It never helps when teammates fight. Figure out ways to leverage both persons strength to win.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
19) FORGIVE IMMEDIATELY and focus on the future rather than carrying weight from the past. Don’t let your history hold you hostage. Holding onto past mistakes that either you or she makes, is like a heavy anchor to your marriage and will hold you back. Forgiveness is freedom. Cut the anchor loose and always choose love.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
20) ALWAYS CHOOSE LOVE. ALWAYS CHOOSE LOVE. ALWAYS CHOOSE LOVE. In the end, this is the only advice you need. If this is the guiding principle through which all your choices is governed, there is nothing that will threaten the happiness of your marriage. Love will always endure.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In the end MARRIAGE isn’t about Happily ever after. It’s about work. And a commitment to grow together and a willingness to continually invest in creating something that can endure eternity. Through that work, the happiness will come.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
These are lessons I learned the hard way. These are lessons I learned too late.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But these are lessons I am learning and committed in carrying forward. Truth is, I LOVED being married, and in time, I will get married again, and when I do, I will build it with a foundation that will endure any storm and any amount of time.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
MEN- THIS IS YOUR CHARGE : Commit to being an EPIC LOVER. There is no greater challenge, and no greater prize. Your woman deserves that from you.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Be the type of husband your wife can’t help but brag about.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello loves, I will get back to the scheduled events as soon as I get back from St. Martin. Can't wait to share and as I type this I remember that I need to share more pictures from Bora Bora. Well I am going to run back to the ocean and enjoy the remaining days of living care free. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unfortunately, my photos can't capture the sound of the waves or the taste of goodness but hopefully a treat on the eye. Enjoy and remember to be as ready as you can be!</div>

Scenario:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Your significant comes home from work and complains about how he/she had a long frustrating day. About an our later a topic comes up that bothers you. Your significant notices the mood change and asks what's bothering you. You proceed to explain what's bothering/upsetting you however, he/she tells you that he/she doesn't want to talk about it/be bothered with that now because he/she had a long day at work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Person A</strong>: You walk away and say alright we will talk about it later.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Person B</strong>: You express that you would rather deal with it now so you can move on.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which person are you?</div>

My simple response: You have a better chance of succeeding on what you work on!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Marriage/relationship is work also. As an individual in your workplace, you're willing to go thru lengths or work on situations to prevent losing your job. So how is it any different in a marriage/relationship? You want the marriage/relationship to work then you put in the work. It's easier to throw a situation under a rug for the sake of peace and move on but you can't hide a huge pile. The more it builds the harder and worse the situation may become in the future even if it was minor.</div>

I know I'm repeating what has been said by many and for years, however, as human beings we tend to forget or not practice what we think we know. So this was just a simple reminder of putting in as much work no matter how frustrated or tired you may be from work/school or day; what's a few more minutes in resolving a situation at home?</div>

It's amazing how much one can get done while unplugged from digital media. I might have to do this purposely through out the year in order complete tasks in my journal. The same digital media that I rely on to keep up to date, use to blog and live off of is the same that I need to disconnect myself from, sadly. However, not too sad because I did get a lot done!<br />
<br />
I'm still in the process of unpacking and settling in to our new place. In the mean time be on the look out because a give-away is coming soon as a thank you for receiving 100 likes on Facebook (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ReadyAsICanBe">https://www.facebook.com/ReadyAsICanBe</a>)!<br />
<br />
Have a great one loves and be ready as you can be!<br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">By Aleah Taboclaon</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“Date a girl who travels. Date a girl who would rather save up for out of town trips or day trips than buy new shoes or clothes. She may not look like a fashion plate, but behind that tanned and freckled face from all the days out in the sun, lies a mind than can take you places and an open heart that will take your for what you are, not for what you can be</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Date a girl who travels. You’ll recognize her by the backpack she always carries. She won’t be carrying a dainty handbad, where will she put her travel journal, her pens and the LED flashlight that’s always attached to her bag’s zipper? In a small purse, how can she bring the small coil of travel string, the wet tissues, the box of cracker, and the bottle of water she’s always ready with, just in case something happens and she can’t go home yet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Yes, a girl who travels knows that anytime, anything can happen and she just has to be prepared with it. Nothing takes her by surprise, she takes everything with equanimity, knowing that such things are always a part of life. She’s reliable and dependable, traits that she’s learned while on the road.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">You’ll also recognize a girl who travels by the fact that she’s always amazed at the world around her, no matter if she’s in her hometown or in a place that’s totally new. She sees beauty all around her, not just the ones featured in travel guides or shown in postcards. A girl who travels has developed a deeper appreciation for life. She won’t judge you, or pressure you to do things you don’t want to do. She knows too much about the importance of identity and self-efficacy, and she will appreciate all the more if you won’t pretend to be who you’re not.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://jonesreportla.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/sunrise-at-warwick.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease-in; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: black;"><img alt="sunrise at warwick Date A Girl Who Travels" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3780" height="681" scale="0" src="http://jonesreportla.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/sunrise-at-warwick.jpg" style="border: 1px dotted rgb(204, 204, 204); clear: both; display: block; font-style: inherit; height: auto; margin: 5px auto 10px; max-width: 492px; padding: 6px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Date A Girl Who Travels" width="1024" /></span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">You can make mistakes with a girl who travels, and you can also be as idiosyncratic as you can be. Trust me, she has seen so much worse in her travels, and knows firsthand the vagaries of human nature.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Date a girl who travels, because when you’re with her, you’ll realize that even though she’s napped at a temple in Angkor Wat, went boating down the Mekong Delta, ran by the streets of Saigon, or went skinny-dipping in the caves in the Philippines, she still retains that humility that is the mark of a real traveler. She knows she’s been to a lot of places, but she’s humbled by the fact that the world is still a big places and she’s only seen a small part of it. Seeing this in her can make you feel all right with yourself too; there’s no need for you to do more, to be more. What you are is enough.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">When you meet a girl who travels, ask her where she’s been and what she’s going to do next. She will appreciate your interest, and if you’re lucky, she may even invite you to join her. When she does, do. Nothing bonds people better than traveling. On your trip, you will both see each other’s best and worst characteristics, and you can then decide whether she’s worth fighting for.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It’s easy enough to date a girl who travels. She won’t want expensive gifts, you can buy her (or both of you) cheap ticket to Thailand for the weekend, and she’ll be more than happy to take you to the longest wooden bridge in the country. You don’t even have to go overseas, you can take her out on day trips, caving or hiking, or treat her to a full body massage.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">You can also buy her the little things that she keeps forgetting to buy for herself; that carbine that will attach her backpack to her seat so that she will feel easier about sleeping on her bus trip, or a backpack cover, a small alarm clock, a money belt, or many another sarong that will replace the one she lost in China.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">She won’t mind if you get lost on your way to a date. She knows that often times, the journey is more important than the destination. She will help you see the lighter side of things. She’ll walk along with you, not behind you, pointing out the interesting bits of things you’ll see on the way. Before long, you’ll realize that yes, the journey has been more memorable than the destination that you’ve planned to take her to.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Is a girl who travels worth it? Yes, she is. So when you find her, keep her. Don’t lose her with your insecurities and doubts. Because when she says she loves you, she really does. After all, she’s seen so many things, met so many people, and if she has chosen you, better grab that opportunity and thank the gods that you were lucky enough she’s chosen you and not that bloke she met while watching the sunrise in Angkor Wat, or while whitewater rafting in the Padas Gorge in Sabah.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">If she says she loves you, she must have seen something in you, something that can always call her back from her travels, something that can anchor her to the world in the way that she wants to after weeks and months of being on the road.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Date a girl who travels. Make her feel safe, warm and secure. Make her believe that no matter where she goes, and however long she’s gone, you’ll always be there for her, the one that she can call home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Find a girl who travels. Date her, love her. and marry her, and your world will never be the same again.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">After
a heart to heart with my awesome friend talking about life, I was inspired to
write this post. It came to me, “as long as you’re alive” and I wanted to share it with you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We all know too well that as
beautiful and wonderful life may be, it also has its bumps, trials and
tribulations. At times we may be feeling weary, incompetent or so stressed that
we may wonder if this is the path that God has chosen for us. But I want to
remind you that as long as you're alive there is always time<span style="background-color: white;"> </span>for change, second chances, trying again and hope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m
a journal collector (save that for another post) so I write down everything. I
mean everything as in any little scribble, thought, idea, feeling and more.
It’s very therapeutic and keeps me on track. I also have a goal board, which I
try to update often because I like to keep goals specific (like a month or 2
month goal). I place it in our bedroom near my headboard so I can have a daily
reminder of my goals. I don’t have a photo of mine at the moment but here are a
few similar/ideas I found online:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
