Special moments are any moments spent with the person you love.

Even if it means going for an errand in the city.

We still make it into something fun.

Most likely, I would have probably written something similar in the blog,

But I still can't help but appreciate how we are able to find the time celebrate the small wins.

I'm always grateful for everything that God has given me,

and cherish all of them, most especially our life together.

I love you so much, Tarty!

Happy Three!

The memories made with family is everything.

This gives us hope no matter what life may bring.

Our boys may be branching out to be their own persons.

But they will always have their roots with us, our sons.

This fact is always something we can be proud of.

These boys turning men are products of our love.

In this life full of uncertainty,

It’s the big moments that define us.

How we respond to such circumstances,

Tells us who we are at our core.

However, this core is forever growing.

It evolves as it is fed by small moments in our daily lives.

These split second interactions sends tingles to our brain,

Pulsates our heartbeats to run faster or slower.

And most of my small moments are made up of you.

It’s filled with thoughts of you and our family.

So, no matter what big moments in life might come,

I will face them with conviction, and my core held tight.

Happy 7th, Mommy Memay! 

I love you so much, Tarty! 

Looking at us from this pic, brings tears to my eyes.

I can't imagine how much we've lost.

I think together we've lost almost 100 pounds!

Let's make a side by side pic of this one. 

Today, we spent the entire day enjoying each other's company.

We were able to enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

We dined at a new place for the first and last time... (internal back story)

But all in all we had a great time.

Thank you so much for being the change in our lives.

Without your change, we would have still been the same couple in the picture.

I love you so much, Tarty!

Happy Three!

First time at Tam Bok Joo!

Love the name of this place. It's literally saying how "Joo" is tambok. 

We were able to stay for the entire limited duration of two hours.

And I was able to eat my fill good for two days! 

We loved the food and loved each other's company even more.

Once again, food trips with you is now worry free because we can easily keep off the weight.

I love you so much Tarty!

Happy Three!

A whole day outing! From our healthy breakfast of aloe, tea, and shake. Then, our first meal at Cocina Calza Naga! Then, our usual hang out place at big Gs!

We can now confidently go on food trips because of our daily healthy choices. thanks for introducing us to our healthy life style now.

I love you so much, Tarty!

A happy three spent in the city, delivering Herbalife products and strategizing their business growth.

Busy days like these are always welcome with a smile. 

Life maybe hard and unfair at times, but a quick workaround for that is to find someone who loves the same thing as you do. 

I love you so much Coach Tarty! Happy Three.

It is not who you've known longest 

Rather, it is who is there that persists.

Despite trials, differences, and disputes,

It is who is there that holds the same pursuits.

We may be broken people

but together our scars are beautiful.

Hence, I consider ourselves blessed

for that we have professed.

Mangled and torn but together we are whole

Strengthened by the same goal.

A great binge bonding of wandavision on a happy three!

It’s been a while since we were able to binge watch anything due to our busy schedules, but helping people reach their goals is the great kind of busy that we love.

So proud of you coach tarty! Continue to touch more lives and help them achieve a healthier and happier lifestyle.

I love you so much, Tarty!

Much needed Vitamin Sea on Happy Three!

Relax and unwind as we enjoy the company of the most important people... our family.

Can't believe the surprise adventure that we had today. It may have been just a quick trip to the beach with nothing but our change of clothes.

But it was truly a memorable experience. Loved the talks that we had about the business and how are kids are growing up so fast.  And how everything looks so positive.

Let's get strength from this memory of today as we continue to face the challenges of tomorrow.

I love you so much, Tarty! Happy Three!

The challenges have grown heavier and heavier.

But through it all, we only need to look to our family for strength.

Seeing them;

We know why we need to stand when we've fallen.

We know why we muster our last bit of vigor.

We know why we need to move forward.

We know that there's a bright tomorrow.

And for you my most adoring muse, I would like to share a poem by one of my favorite authors.

Still I Rise 

by Maya Angelou

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may trod me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?

’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells

Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,

Just like hopes springing high,

Still I’ll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?

Bowed head and lowered eyes?

Shoulders falling down like teardrops,

Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?

Don’t you take it awful hard

’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines

Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise

That I dance like I’ve got diamonds

At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame

I rise

Up from a past that’s rooted in pain

I rise

I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,

Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

I rise

Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear

I rise

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,

I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise

I rise

I rise.

Happy Three, Tarty! I love you so much!!!
