Home Sweet Home

Praise the Lord! Today we received our keys to our new house...Well, technically we don't own the house. We probably won't even own a house until we are way older. We are renting a new house, and the lease ends in 3 years so it will be our home for a while!

The way we even got chosen to be the tenants of this home was God's blessing upon us as well. We had someone really help us out and he was very beneficial on our behalf. I'm so excited to move into this new place because it will be our first "home home." We are already blessed to be living in the house that we live in (it belongs to Kev's parents) because this house is super huge and beautiful. But it never really felt like our home. We came into the house and everything was already decorated. We weren't living by ourselves as a married couple. Kevin grew up in this house as a teenager. This is the same house I'd visit Kev in as a 15 year-old. We used to dance on the streets as teenagers and ride bikes at the country club across the street.

Now it's time for a new beginning! This house that we're moving into is 5 minutes away from my mom's house and close to the divinity school Kevin wants to go to for his graduate degree.  We really could not choose a better house and location! We are excited to decorate the house and to fix up the backyard. I personally can't wait to put up pictures of our baby girl when she's finally born in 3-4 months! Time really flies. The timing of our move is also very convenient because I just stopped working at the preschool and while my tummy is big, it's not too big where moving would be a huge problem.

What a beautiful season of life! Pregnancy and a new house..Oh, this baby is going to have some really wonderful memories in this new home!

One Week Left

In exactly one week, Kevin has to decide where he will go for school...will it be Rochester, Miami, or UMass? He's still waitlisted at UMass so we aren't sure about that just yet, but we are actually visiting Rochester in a few days to see how we feel! His Miami trip was stressful to say the least. Evangeline had been sick the entire week beforehand, and Kevin even called the pediatrician to make sure it was okay to leave. The doc had been under the impression Evangeline was sick with strep throat, fever, and cold. But I felt like it was worse, and that it was progressing to become pneumonia. The doc gave Kevin the go, and once he landed in Miami, not only was Evangeline still sick, but Elianna got a 103 fever! It was a hot mess in our home. Both girls went to ER, Evangeline had gotten admitted and was in the hospital for five whole days due to bilateral pneumonia (which is the worst it's ever been!) Kevin was out of town for the first time ever, and it was just exhaustin...

This Is Us: Why It Hits Home

A little over two years ago, I was crying to my cousin because I had just found out I was suffering a miscarriage. Not only was it a miscarriage of a baby whom I was losing, but it was also the loss of a twin that Elianna would not grow up with. And when a person miscarries a twin early enough, the baby doesn't come out the way a typical miscarriage happens...the baby just gets reabsorbed into the mom and into the twin. "You should really watch This Is Us. The first episode is about a miscarriage too, except the character played by Mandy Moore loses a triplet." my cousin told me through her tears, as she comforted me since the wounds were so fresh. There are a lot of things within the show that I do not relate with: I never lost a dad to an unexpected death. I do not have an adoptive sibling or was adopted myself looking for a birth parent. I do not have an addiction to eating. But I could relate to miscarriage, and I do plan to adopt one day, so that's as far as ...

in sickness and in health...

Man oh man! Kevin and I are still sick. What a way to get used to being married huh? After saying our traditional vows we're already having to deal with sickness! He got better, and I got worse...Around 6 am this morning I woke up drenched in sweat and had a fever! Thankfully I took some Tylenol and felt a lot better...still felt kinda gross because my normal bed had turned into a water bed within the span of a few hours! Poor Kev is still working on his 15 page paper and I'm just trying to fill the time with recovering and looking forward to moving out of my mom's later this week. But since we've been back on Saturday we've been ordering out and I was like "Okay, enough is enough! I gotta cook for my man!" (And if you know me...you know I'm not very good at cooking...the most I can do is to fry eggs and spam and Vienna sausage and anything and everything Filipino) In all honesty, this is probably the most intimidating part of marriage for me (I...
