It's been 8 Years since we said "I Do"

Last month, we celebrated our wedding anniversary. 8 years ago, we had our small wedding in my husband's house garage. Ever the artist, our wedding set-up was inspired by the beach.

Even when we were dating, he had given me a poem "By the Sea" for my 19th birthday. We both love the beach so whenever we have a chance we like to be where we can "hear the waves lapping" and "calm our stressed minds with the song of the ocean"...

Here's the paradise where we experienced the lazy leisure luxurious life in a place of peace:

I am grateful to God for all the blessings He had poured upon our family. No matter what circumstances is, we have learned to be grateful for above all He had given us LOVE.

I find it amusing that after almost 3 years I have thousands of photos in a phone I hardly use. Ummm maybe not as much photos as an average instagram enthusiast.. 

Oh well, looking at these photos brings wonderful memories.. its time to save them in my laptop (upload in blogger, facebook,flickr etc) and delete the old photos so I can take new ones..
