My WorkPlace

One of the blessings I have is my homebased job. Cleaned up and decorated my work place today. I found lots of Mormonads in my stuffs so I used them to make the room colorful. And I also get some good reminders to make my day fruitful. :)

Imagining

I am home alone when Butch is on his duties so many things just pop in my mind. Like what will our children look like? Our future little Butch will probably look like my Bubutch! Haha! :D

Oh Books!

Last week Butch and I were scanning some photos in Pinterest on books and bookshelves. I really dreamed of a house with a library in it. I just love books. Fortunately, I am married to a man who is a book lover too. Each month he buys books and I so love them. It just brings excitement and spark in my eyes each time the word book rings in my ears. :D

We've been together 7 months already and I guess we need another bookshelf! Way to go for more books!

The Sweetest Husband

My amazing husband made these! Great minds can explore new things indeed. The choco mousse float tastes like rocky road. so namnam! What a lucky wife he has. :D

My Choco Message

It's Butch's 27th Birthday and our 6th monthsary. The past week I was thinking what to do for a little surprise - something unique. I came up with the idea to find chocolates with names that I can use in a sentence. My original sentence was In the Milky Way galaxy and in the planet close to Mars.... blah blah blah. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any Milky Way in the store. Haha! See photo for my super duper choco message. :)

From the Isles of the Sea

In our church, we have a November Affair each year for married couples. Those who are not married 30 years old and above can also attend.  This year's theme is Welcome to the Isles of the Sea. We dressed in our Hawaiian costume.

Butch and I are still in our 20's and the majority in attendance are the 30 up. Even those in their senior years are still attending. And we danced the music of 80's or 90's. It was never boring being with the old ones after all. haha. They literally flooded the dance floor. They even prepared dance numbers. 

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.
