The Corners of Our Home

One of my favorite songs  from the children songbook is entitled "We'll Bring the World his Truth".  And thus, the corners in our home has something to do with that song. Text in italics are taken from that song.

1. Marriage Corner

We have been born, as Nephi of old,

To goodly parents who love the Lord.
We have been taught, and we understand,

That we must do as the Lord commands

In our little office in our apartment, we have a picture taken during our wedding. I believe our example can do more to teach our children about the essentials of being married in the temple more than what we might say.

2. Institute Corner

We know his plan, and we will prepare,
Increase our knowledge through study and prayer.
Daily we'll learn until we are called
To take the gospel to all the world.

Even if we are already married, we still attend Institute Class. Improvement and progression don't have an end considering that we are imperfect beings. We want to establish the principle of gospel learning with our children as well. This will prepare them to be better missionaries and parents.

3. Missionary Corner

We have been saved for these latter days
To build the kingdom in righteous ways.
We hear the words our prophet declares:
"Let each who's worthy go forth and share."

We have this missionary picture and nametags on the table in our room. We want to instill in the minds of our children as young as they are about valuing service for the Lord. Most children have super heroes. It would be great if they have super mom and dad as their everyday heroes.

Alarm Kiss :D

During our 4th monthsary, the Gison sisters gave us some kiddie stuffs - diaper, hair clip, water gun and some toys. My favorite is the water gun. haha! I'll probably use this to wake Butch up. He is such a sleepy head. He sleeps in fetal position at times. Each morning when I am trying to wake him up with a kiss or kisses (haha) , he will just blink his eyes and hug his tanday tight as if he doesn't hear me. Is he pretending to be asleep or he just loves the alarm kiss?

Crush ko!

We spent our Sunday afternoon with mama, papa and hinablos. I spotted some of Butch's pictures from an album. Haha. He really has this non smiling face  since then. That's probably the reason why people would think he is so serious and supladito.

Since we are together every single day, I am used that he talks and talks and makes me laugh. And I find it uneasy if he is serious.

My Super Butch!

Last week while preparing for work, I saw Butch's notebook on the chair beside me. Knowing it's his lesson plan for missionary prep class, I just take a look and admired how neat and organized it is! When we were still dating he taught me how he organized his lesson plan. He really takes time to study each week before the class. He seems not getting  tired of reading and reading. This is one thing common about us. We love to read.

Also, he was assigned to give a talk during our stake conference about Preparing for Eternal Marriage. He actually formulated his talk the very day he was given an assignment. See? As if there's no tomorrow. Haha! That's another thing I love about him. He is always prepared. Even when he gives a talk in our ward each month, each topic is well thought of. Who will not fall even more in love with a man like him? 

Scanning from the Top

There are times that I'm just crazy and would read our chat history in FB from the top! It's like scanning 5000+ messages and laughing while reading. Sometimes we marry the person we least expect to fall in love with. BUT it happens. Butch is stern-looking so I had this impression that he is supladito to the max. It turned out that he is the sweetest guy I've ever met. Great, handsome guy! Haha.

He used to share some PDFs with me or anything he is reading. Chemistry works because we both love to read. And now he is buying me books and we share the same family name too! Haha.

When he said he missed me, I will just answer it with an icon or change the topic. Pakipot days! And I laughed when I read his reply "reply gusto ko".

 

We all go through the corny lines right? Ewwww. So corny me.

True, when his eyes meet mine I can visualize eternity.

I was sick then and he gave me fruits, sandwich. etc. We're only "friends that time". Now that we're married and when I got sick, I feel like I am a baby.

We had this chat before, he said if he has a wife already he will pamper her. Who would have thought the wife will be me? So I'm the lucky wife. He brushes my hair and buys me moisturizer,. He also choose the shampoo to make my hair a little bit thick. He supports my addiction to books by buying me more.

Books for me!

Butch really knows that I love to read. So he bought me books. So happy me! One is entitled the no cry sleep solution. It contains tips that mothers should do so their babies will not have crying episodes through the night. It also talks what moms should do so their baby can differentiate between day and night sleeps.

At the beginning it takes a little time since you really have to monitor the babies sleeping logs.  But as the author says, this is a brief period of a mother's life. You'll wake up one day with you children grown up.
