The Baby Blog

Holidays are here...
I really enjoy the holidays...thanksgiving to New years. Now that I have my own family, I find myself really trying to get into the holiday spirit... Hanging stockings, buying a christmas trees, looking for special ornaments for each child. This will be GIMB2's first holiday season!!! And CUD is also old enough to tear through the christmas wrapping to open his presents.

In the past Brahma and I would find ourselves travelling throughout the holiday, but I think this time we can try and make a compromise with our families and see if any will give in to having at least a Christmas Eve celebration.

Random Thoughts: cuz my boss is gone and work is slow!

I was reading the BRL blogs especially those by single folks out there! Wow, it seems so long ago when I was wondering when my next date would be. I was single for 4 years!! But I wouldn't trade that in for anything. I met different people. I learned more about myself, and even became comfortable with my independence. Didn't help that my girlfriends had their men, but that never changed our friendship! (and that's important!)

How is that related to this blog... don't know but I'd like to share my "Wedding Story".
Brahma and I actually met in college. When you sit in the PACE office you are bound to meet some people. When you get involved in PCN you are bound to meet more people!! At the time he was in a pretty serious relationship... they ended up lasting about 7 years i think (off and on)

During one of their off-seasons Brahma and I went on a few dates... movie, 9ers game, and even a Giants game I believe. But it never went farther than that , and he was off with his girlfriend. Then I met someone else... who broke my heart by cheating on me... but that's a totally different blog!!!

And I joined Likha, which Brahma was OG member, and got re-acquainted there. Hung a couple times, and even got taken to a wedding one time, but still no more than that. Then came our tour to MALTA. Brahma helped me by paying for my ticket (which I still owe hime for) and we travelled together, with a 24hour layover in Rome.

Malta was fun... but I felt the pressure from everyone about being with John and I just couldn't cope... I wasn't ready... I didn't have that strong enough feelings for him!! Then came Rome!! It was beautiful. As we were waiting there for our bus which never came cuz it New Year's Day, he poured his heart out. Let me know how he felt, gave me a blue crystal rose hand-blown in Malta with a matching picture frame with a picture of us in Malta's capitol. And all I could say is... I only think of you as a friend!

I know that those are the most hated words any single person could hear, but at the time it was true. We still enjoyed Rome, I still have unshredded pictures to prove it.... but when we got home... we didn't talk to each other for months!!! 6 i believe!... but we still had the dance troupe.

He moved on and found himself in a pretty serious relationship... they were already talking marriage. And here I was still wondering why I was still single...

I was alone in the office all morning and read different blogs based on links from friends here and there! I tell ya.. my life seems pretty boring compared to everyone else! All I can talk about our kiddie parties, teething, and potty training! but you know what... it's my life, and I am happy...

Brahma and I were driving to a party in Daly City for Milan's 1st birthday. It was cool too see friends from back in the day, but with all the kids running around versus at a club on a thursday nite! Anyways, as we were driving we started talking about planning our wedding. You see, we had a civil ceremony in SF city hall w/ close friends and family on tuesday afternoon *i was 3mos pregnant w/ CUD.

Now, we want to plan for our church ceremony and reception for ALL our friends and family to celebrate with us. So we started talking about money and how we can plan a wedding w/ 400 guests on a budget. Cutting the guest list is not an option. I come from a huge family where if i were to have this event it would feel wrong to not have them all there! Then John, although he is an only child he has a huge family plus friends and families he grew up with!

It would be nice to have it soon. Not that it's not real, but it would just make our commitment complete I guess?!
We already have a ring and coin bearer! heheheee

Why I love my husband...
He does laundry!! heheee thanks baby for keeping my clothes clean and smelling fresh!
He gives me spending Money!!! heheee actually when the end of the month rolls around and I am still waiting for my monthy paycheck to come in... he gives me lunch money.. especially on days when I work at the mall!
He gets us in suites to watch b-ball and other shows! Now that is a major plus!!!
Most of all... because he loves me, and will never do anything to harm our children! Although GIMB2 fell down bumping his head on the steps to the kitchen, but that could happen to anyone watching him!!
