Keys

Ryan and I are getting keys to our new place today! We’re moving to a condo really close to the chapel and it’s about 50 steps away! Its only a one bedroom (and we were hoping for at least 2), but this is good for now. We decided to just take this condo instead of the other apartments we’ve seen that had two bedrooms because of the fact that it’s across from the chapel and there’s ample parking!  If there’s one thing I learned about living in apartments/condo areas, it is this: (1) MUST HAVE A DESIGNATED PARKING SPACE and (2) MUST HAVE AMPLE STREET PARKING! :D  The other places either had one or the other, but not both.

Looking forward to buying furniture and making the place feel like home :D and since blog posts are better with photos, here’s a picture of me and Ryan in Seattle this past January.  It was taken by our friend and brother from another mother, Chris Alignay :D! He’s one of my favorite photographers!  Thank you so much Chris for taking this picture of us! Whenever I see it, it’ll remind me of how much I want to learn how to be an efficient Canon photographer (I still can’t figure out how to change the aperture/shutter speed/ISO on a Canon…)

Baby Portraits : Ina

It’s been awhile, yes I know.  A lot has happened these past months and I hope to share them on my blog pretty soon, but I will probably do that when Ryan and I are all settled in our new place.

For now, here’s a new blog post and what better topic than posting baby photos!!  Ina turned 3 months here and I am finally able to share it on my site.  Shey and Kuya Ed, sorry for the delay!! I hope you enjoy these photos of your little princess :D

9 Years

Today is our 9th year wedding anniversary and I can’t think of any other way to have spent most of our day. What a wonderful gift we both received from our Father in heaven, to be able to attend a w.s. officiated by our church leader…   Happy Anniversary Ryan!  I love you so much and I hope and pray that we have more years with one another :)

2011 Year End Recap

Today is the last day of the year, so as usual, here’s my recap for this year.

January: Ryan and I celebrated our 8th Year Anniversary! We did a staycation and it was a really great way for us to relax and enjoy our anniversary.

February: My lola passed away this month. :(

March: I celebrated my 33rd birthday. We also witnessed and help document the chapel dedication in Los Angeles, officiated by our Executive Minister.

April: Ryan turned 34 this year in April! We dined at the At Last Cafe and the Macaroni dish was to-die-for!  We also witnessed and documented the chapel dedication in Sacramento, officiated again by our Executive Minister.  What an experience this trip was for us. This month, my lolo passed away. :(

May: Multiple things happened this month but what stood out most was the INC Giving, Teacher Appreciation activity we had.

June: ES-Sense turned 6 this year! I also got a new job with Jones Lang LaSalle.

July: We celebrated the 97th anniversary of the Iglesia Ni Cristo this month.

August: I finally got to take my family’s photos and we realized it’s our 30th Anniversary as residents in the USA.

September: It was the first time Ryan and I ever attended a pinning ceremony for Chief Petty Officers. That was really cool!

October: Janice and Benson got a family dog. :)

November: The biggest thing that happened this month was the INC Giving Winter Wear Drive. I’m still in awe when I think about it!

December: Being able to document memorable events for the INC.

Happy New Year!
