myTarty

The streets and the sidewalks are filled with people and cars.
So many, that I think they could match the number of stars.

Drivers honking their horns, selfishly hogging the road.
It's like they have no Christmas spirit, like they're a bu-humbug toad.

Yet, amidsts all the blinding chaos and the stagnated traffic.
I'm smiling and laughing, thinking everything's terrific.

The kids in the back seat, all jumping and playing.
And you by my side all glowing and smiling.

All the noises outside are drowned out by your affection.
I've learned to appreciate what's important, giving me a better disposition.

My love, my life, my wife.
I love you more than life.

These three amazing kids are truly our most prized treasure. With the new schedule that we are now facing, I can't imagine the stress that you must feel.

Yet, despite their headstrong temperament, they are still our source of pride and joy. They give us strength to push through our challenges.

I completely understand that their willful nature can make us snap to our boiling point. Let's just continue to guide them and teach them the right actions to take whenever they don't.

The times when they are being boisterous maybe plenty but the moments where they make us smile are even more.

The kids are growing up into the persons that we've showed them how to be. I'm so proud that they have you as their mom.

At present, they may not understand the sacrifices that you've done for them but someday when they've become parents, they will understand all our endeavors.

For now let us just continue to enjoy these moments with Sean, Josh, and Jaedon. They are only 10, 4, and 2 once.

As always, thank you so much for everything that you've done for our family. The kids and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I'm very happy to have you as my partner through everything forever and ever.

I love you so much myTarty,

Our first monthsary as a married couple. This year God has blessed us with so many answered prayers. I can't help but think that it's all because this is our wedding year...

I've told you about how checking for the married status window made me smile. Well let me tell you that it doesn't stop there. Everyday there are small things that come up, that make me hear the wonderful fact that we are now officially married. I can't wait to hear more of those things as we grow older.

Even when we hear our grandchildren ask us about trivial little things that they may have just thought of. I'm sure that we will still be wearing the same smiles on our faces but with added enhancements like wrinkles of wisdom.

I'm really proud to have you in my life for now and for always. I may sound redundant but redundancy is just a sign of how happy I am.

As we continue to experience life everyday, we grow and change.  It's such a blessing that both of us recognize our changes and complement each others growth.

The kids are growing up really fast and as always they continue to drive us.... It may not happen anytime soon but someday these kids will leave us to live their own lives.

When that time comes. It'll just be the two of us.... I'm sure that we will still have a lot of new things to learn and grow into by then.

I thank God for answering our prayers but most especially for answering mine. When I asked for someone who would complete the missing parts of my being. Thank you for being my answered prayer wifey tarty. Iloveyousomuch :*

We may not always see eye to eye but we've known to understand and respect one another. One of the essential things that I find myself lucky to have is that we don't explode at the same time. When I'm mad you make the world still so I can find myself within my monsoon of emotions. When you're mad I try to do the same but with deep regret I confess that I'm not as good as you, good thing you still manage to come to terms with your anger somehow.

Living alone is a challenge on it's own, but living with 3 growing boys is a whole different ball game. I'm just blessed that I have you as my co-captain as we traverse the ups and downs of this ocean called life. I'm proud to say that I think we're doing terrific jobs as parents. They maybe rowdy and noisy boys but when we catch those fleeting moments when we see our kids show the person that they are becoming... Those moments leaves me speechless.

Like how Sean brought home a benidicted rose from the shrine of St. Therese to give to you to since he heard that you had a tummy ache, how Josh tries to look after Jaedon to give us some free time to relax within the day and how Jaedon just rushes to anyone who gets hurt and try to ask with his 2 year old voice 'are you ok? you ok?' priceless.

We've built a lot of precious memories together and the greedy me is saying that I want us to experience some more.
There are still so many things to look forward to that just thinking about them fills me with excitement. I'm really happy to have found you myTarty. I hope to add one more precious memory today that which will be engraved right at the top 10 fond memories. The day that we say I do...
