A new chapter will soon begin.

       For just more than a month from now, I'll be walking down the aisle as the bride of the love of my life. We have been looking forward to that day since September 2012 after getting engaged. The original plan was to have the wedding ceremony in September this year, however a major change of the wedding ceremony date happened after we found out about a blessing. In September of this year, I'll be giving birth to our first baby and we are both excited about that.

      Last week I have already finished the draft of our wedding invitation. They'll be printed  this week and will be distributed 2 weeks before the wedding day.





        We have chosen mint green and peach as our motif for the wedding.  We are still undecided about the peg but most probably it's going to be cute and bubbly.
 

Three years later

What a life? 

It's been three years since last time I have opened this blog site and posted about how empty my heart was and how hard i hoped and prayed for God's perfect plan for me. As far as I can remember, the time I was typing the words in my last blog, I was hardly weeping because of emotional pain. (Read previous post.)

As I type the words is this blog today, I am again crying not because of pain but because of happiness. God has fulfilled his promise to me. I have found the man who has given me so much joy for two years now.

Yesterday, I and my fiance had gone to the local civil office to file for our marriage license. We will have our family code seminar on April 8. We are both excited about how we will face the future together. We believe that God has brought us together at a perfect time. Also this year we will become parents as I am on my 15th week of pregnancy. We have been blessed really. The future is still too big for us. We will go through a lot we know, and we believe that no matter what, God will be with us.

I met my fiance, Eduardo "toto" Gempisaw in 2011. He was introduced to me by a high school friend, who happened to be his childhood friend. The first time I met him, I was not attracted to him because he was not the person I visually dreamed for. But I did not close my door to him. I wanted to see what he had inside. We dated for 2 months before we became officially couple.

He's someone that I can really be proud of. He's best at playing football and have become a player of the Philippine National Team from 2007 to 2009. I admire his dreams, his aspirations, and the life he has lived. I knew from there that I have found the man I have been waiting for. A man of dignity. A man of words and actions.


Sometimes, want we want is not what we will get because God will give us what we need.
