Azarie's in 4D

Today I am grateful for having a glimpse of what Azarie looks like in my belly :) I think she is so adorable! Just 3 more weeks and we will not only see her but also hold her and play with her. We are very excited!!!!


she has chubby cheeks, doesn't she? :D

On Being a Connoisseur

Today I am grateful for the influence of the blog called "The Daily Connoisseur" in my life. It has taught me so many things on how to live simply yet with passion. By reading its posts on the French culture, I have learned to appreciate what are truly essential. :)

Exploring Savannah

Today I am grateful for having a nice time yesterday. :) The weather was great. I was able to drive around Whitaker Street and visit one of my favorite shops, "The Paris Market" while my husband was hanging out with people he met from "Meet Up". Then later on he joined me in exploring River Street. I never get tired visiting this place in Savannah. I'm sharing pictures below. Hope everybody had a great Saturday, too!

looking like we never had a big fight the day before :D

New Beginning

Today I am grateful for a chance to correct mistakes. An ending can be a new beginning. One day at a time.

Passed the Sugar Test

Today I am simply grateful that I have passed my test for gestational diabetes. I failed the first one and had to take the 3 hour test. I love sweets so much that thinking of not being able to eat anymore desserts was really heartbreaking! But God is so good, He gave me another chance.  I thank also my selfless patients who helped me in praying. :)

What is life without sweets?!


"So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you  know that man shall not live on bread alone; but man lives by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord."

Friday, August 31, 2012

Today I am grateful for all the blessings received in August. I know I have been blogging monthly now and not daily. But still I would like to end this month summarizing the good things that happened to me.

First of all, our baby Azarie is 6 months old already. Here is a picture of her ultrasound.

we're so excited to hold her :)

Second, my parents will be going to a vacation in Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. There was also an earthquake in the Philippines today and I am grateful that my loved-ones are safe.

Third, we will be moving to Savannah at the end of next month for my new assignment. I'm sure there will be more things to do and places to go.

Fourth, my husband found a way to know that our PR cards are being mailed, already. We are really looking forward to finally settling down in one place.

There are more blessings to mention. And for each I am grateful :)

Our Babymoon

Today I am grateful for the opportunity that God has given us to go to Canada and which I would also consider our "babymoon". :)

We were also blessed to have traveled to California, Las Vegas, and the Grand Canyon. God is so generous!
