5th Wedding Anniversary

A family of five in 5 years... What a great blessing from God! Marriage and parenthood have a way of maturing people and Joshua & I are no exceptions. God has graciously molded us towards Christlikeness through all that we've been through (esp during the hellish pregnancies) and we emerged miraculously from the challenges more in love with each other. I constantly thank God for our 3 children and I have a great sense of completion despite not intending to conceive the 4th child. Unless we have the financial capacity to adopt as a form of ministry or get pregnant through divine intervention, this will be the family to love, cherish and nurture for many years to come.

Last year, Joshua promised me that we'll have a professional photo shoot for us and the kids to make up for the absence of one for our wedding 5 years ago. However, with my father-in-law ill, it would be prudent to avoid such luxury and save up the money in case of emergency. Yet, I don't feel disappointed as God has provided free printing of 8R photos, lovely $2 photo frames from Diaso and a good friend who is into photography to take a decent family photo for us. There was no beautiful gowns and nice hairdo or make-up but I'm happy enough.

Blessed family


Our quiver of arrows :P Haha...

We loved the restaurant Kuriya at Great World City. Thus, we employed a baby-sitter to help my mum-in-law with the 3 kids and headed down for a nice lunch there as a couple.

Although the food was still nice, they had a change in the menu and tried too hard to cater to the local taste that the food somehow lost their authentic Japanese flavor. Seems like this will be the last time we're patronizing Kuriya.
