The Dearest of Friends

Today has been a long day. Vic and I have been working all day. We both woke up a bit sick, more me than Vic. All I wanted to do was just be at home and lay under the covers. I wanted to make the world go away, but sometimes you just have to get up and do what you need to do for the day, and face the world. But then something really absolutely fabulous happened! We had posted on our facebook that we were feeling a bit under the weather and got a lot of "get well" wishes, which was nice and pleasant, but then our wonderful and dear friend Pamela Perna did a wonderful gesture. Pamela Perna decided to make homemade chicken soup and even added a nice touch of carrots straight from her garden. After she finished making the soup she packed it along with a few small, soft loafs of bread and decided that she was going to make a trip. Pamela Perna came by our job and out of the kindness of her wonderful heart decided to share her delicious chicken soup with us! The wonderful thing was that this is all it took to make our day better. We still felt sick, but the fact that she went out of her daily routine to make a stop to make us feel better lifted our spirits and it was then I knew it was all worth it when you have people like Pamela in your life. It is worth it because one day someone will step in front of us and will need a nice, kind gesture. Thank you Pamela for being so nurturing and having such a wonderful heart, and thank you for brightening our day.

Tomorrow we finish our photoshoot with Deanna so i am excited! School is lame right now! Dont wanna be in school, i just wanna lay in bed with Omar all night and day!! Oh and play video games!

Happy Monday!

When you wake up today take a moment to just breath and think about how it is good to be alive. Vic and I woke up this morning and all I wanted to do is crawl back into bed. Not because I was wanting to just stay home, but because I really wanted to stay with Vic and enjoy just being at home. Happy Mondays are not only about going out an tackling your goals for the day. Happy Monday can be about just doing anything you want to mentally keep you healthy.

Doggy Heaven for Maggie

Do you ever stop to think what your pets teach you? Do you ever wonder what they say or think when they see you and patiently wait for you at home? Recently a very wonderful and loved dog has passed away. Maggie...She was loved, she lived a good life and she died in piece at 17 years of age. But have you ever stop to think or appreciate how a pet comforts you when the world just does not seem to agree with you? That kitty or puppy that sits all day at home waiting for you. The most exciting day is for you to just come through the door and love them. They do not judge, they do not hate, they do not take sides...they just unconditionally love you for loving them. Sometimes life would be so easy if we just were like our pets, which are also family. So next time you come home and you have had a bad day or just need love, don't forget that your cat or dog has been waiting all day to just see you and be with you.

Thanks Maggie for 17 years of being an amazing dog and great memories.

After The O&V Summer Wedding 2010

The Summer of 2010 was full of surprises in many good ways. Vic and I had our Wedding Ceremony, and we were surrounded by amazing people that we consider friends. The best part is how everyone was so respectful and supporting of our union, not to mention those friends and family who came out of town to support this great day! Of course just like any wedding there were things here and there that needed to be fixed or fell apart, but hey what wedding goes without a few miss happens. What was truly important was remembering that Vic and I were ready to just be with each other for the rest of our lives. Ready to be happy with each other, ready to get mad, and make-up(make out) after our disagreements, ready to build a home together and ready to take over the world together! Never was there a doubt in our minds that we wanted each other, but what there was is miss communication, and sometimes being in a relationship we have remember that communication even when you do not agree is important. Many people in the world sit there and work extremely hard to analyze relationships by writing a book or seeing a therapist. Yeah, this is all good, but these are just tools and in the end it is the two people in a relationship that need to utilize these tools and apply them to their personal relationship to make them work. Everyone is unique and everyone can be the same, or even follow the same pattern in relationships. This is because we are creatures of habits. Some of us have to awaken to realize that a relationship is an investment of life, and you have to invest time, understanding, happiness, sadness, anger, and create memories. People have asked both Vic and I 'if marriage life feels different?' Well, for me it does, because you begin to realize how now it is not about the insecurity of a relationship, but how do we reach all our goals united as one? Things have been really great for Vic and I after the wedding. We have learned to be a lot more selfish with our time, and how we utilize our day. Just an advice, it is OK to say no because you need time to be with your partner, and it is OK to be selfish with your lover, boyfriend, husband, best friend, and enjoy quality time together. Vic and I have date night one or two times a week no matter what, just to block the world away, and focus on us. This works for us and maybe you and your other half should think, "what would work for us, just to get away from the world?"
