Time fly really fast. Imagine, we are already in our seventh wedding anniversary.

I can clearly remember seven years ago when I rushed Maan into marrying me because I was leaving the Philippines for a job offer abroad. I was afraid that I might get separated from her, so I thought I should marry her right there and then.

Imagine the reaction, actually the shock, from her family when they found out about our plans. Their immediate take was, “how long has she been pregnant?!” WFT?! Pregnant?! who said Maan was pregnant?! I love their little Nining (they called Maan, Nining) and I want to spend my whole life with her, and since I was leaving for a job abroad I wanted to make sure I could bring her along for the ride.

Looking back, I’m glad I made that faithful decision. And I’m glad Maan accepted my marriage proposal despite being a offered a cubic zirconium ring (hey, I was dirt poor back then, my company was in ruins, I was living off my credit cards for God’s sake).

And I can’t thank God enough for making me complete. And with the addition of Yana to our family, Man, I am truly blessed and I can honestly say I have fulfilled all my dreams.

Too bad Maan is working today, but we are going to San Antonio next weekend.
