Love works in mysterious ways! I would have never thought I would end up here in "Almost Heaven, WV" but it must be fate, thanks to this wonderful guy who got smitten by a little Bicolana from the Southern part of the Philippines (lol). He convinced me that love can survive just about anything. You just have to work together, have faith, and be honest and respect each other. Not everyone I know believed we will ever get this far but it is CRYSTAL CLEAR now, the naysayers were wrong.
Growing up, I never dreamed of marrying a foreigner. In fact, my childhood dream is to finish school and find a job and that's it. I thought having a family is hard as I watched how my parents struggled raising us 9 kids. My goal since I was a kid was to succeed in school no matter what the circumstance is so I could find a good job when I get done. That explained why I was already 30 when I got married. Thanks
Since it is our 15th year, the crystal represents it. It said that the costliness of crystal is representative of the sacrifice and investment that the couple has made to the marriage over the past fifteen years. It also symbolizes clarity and transparency, reflecting the state of the couple's relationship. Below are some of the crystal things we have at home. My husband's chinese animal is rooster and I am an oxen, he got these when we were first got married to represent us.
He gave me this swarovski crystal roses when we were just dating. I thought, it's way better than fresh roses.
In 15 years, we have traveled quite a lot in different places. That's one of the many things we have in common and enjoys a lot doing together with the kids.
I am so glad I gave the online dating a try. I have one of my student assistant to thank for that. If it wasn't for her, I would have never discovered this online dating thing lol. I was busy writing my thesis back then and she told me she is going to make me a profile, I just laughed and thought she was just kidding. Well, the rest is history.
We don't do lavish anniversary celebration. We sometimes pre-celebrate our anniversary with our travels but mostly we spend it at home. Above are just some of the most memorable ones we have had. Actually, every year is special, I just don't have time to dig each event ha ha. I might update this post later when I get a chance.
