Thankful Thursday - Miss Kelani

Miss Kelani

I am honored and Thankful to be a God mother to my best friend in the whole wide universe since we were four years old, daughter. She was my first friend ever in life, haha! I love her to death and I miss her so much.

As Ninang I want to be in her life as much as possible. To remind her how much her parents love her when they bump heads. Most importantly be apart of her support system. And get her little treasures wherever my Hubby gets stationed. Picking God Parents for your child is a big deal, you shouldn't just pick anyone, so you can tell how excited I was when I found out that I was gunna be Ninang.. I want to have a strong relationship with my God Daughter.

She told she was pregnant on my birthday, which makes it the best present EVER! I was so excited for her and supported her any way I could. One time we went to Black Angus for lunch cause she was craving some meat. Black Angus is my family's go to spot for celebrating anything, specifically my Taytay's birthday. So going there for lunch was a bit odd for me, haha! I loved eating with her cause I'd always know where we'd be going. There weren't any moments of silence thinking of where to go.

When she was closer to her due date maybe two days, we tried everything to get her to pop. Went on a long walk around her neighborhood, stopped by Spouts to buy snacks for the hospital, finally walked to Scramblez to eat something spicy. Nothing. Kelani is just like her mommy, a DIVA. HAHAH!

Kelani was born in June, I got all pretty for her, so she could be like I'm the pretty Ninang. Babygirl was asleep the whole time I was there. Best asked me if I want to hold her, I was freaking out inside cause I scared that I might hurt her. Then she asked if I could re-swaddle her and did a horrible job doing so.

She is the prettiest baby ever! Looked just like her mommy, then out of no where morphed in to her Daddy. I miss her so freaking much, can't wait to see her this year. I hope she remembers me. She better with all the times she had her spit all over me and pee all over me, LMAO! I was screaming, I didn't realize why there was this warm feeling on my lap, when I realized she was pee'ing it didn't stop. Beng was just laughing the whole time. When we see her this year Ninong and I will be spoiling her. And I'm take her for the day.

Babygirl has so many people in her life that love her so much, and with all these personalities she won't have a dull moment. Ninang and Ninong love you!

BABY FEVER

It's just that a fever, hahah! I was on pinterest and saw the cutest nursery. So naturally I end up looking at other nurseries and ended up making a board for it. Now have all these cute ideas for a nursery, but no baby on the way, I think it's too funny. I mean that with no sarcasm, which is a first. But I do know that when we are blessed with with a baby he or she will have the cutest nursery.

I can't wait to make all these pretty Chevron designs. Hopefully my sissy will be able to help out cause she's so artistic. I'm loving all these bright color themes but I'm leaning towards the more mellow colors. AAHHH, I'm falling in love. I know for sure I want one wall to be covered in a pattern.

Happy New Year!

This is the first New Year that I didn't get to see my sissy go ham on a bottle of apple cider, haha! I'm sure she did back home though.

Dinner with a couple of friends. I made din din, but I forgot to take pictures :( This year was kinda weird for me cause there was no Lumpia, casava cake, puto (rice cake) fried rice or pancit. You know my typical Filipino New Year fest, HAHA! But I did make Fettuccine Alfredo (for long life, Filipino superstition) the homies killed the pasta. Pizza bites, garlic monkey bread and chicken casserole. Had our 12 fruits for the up coming year, had some change in our pocket, and wore red. More importantly got my midnight kiss from my handsome hubby.

At the W with my Hubby

 I wanna look for more views like this. This was at the Mayors house, we were there for one of Tui's friends Reenlistment. Was pretty cool to watch, the only one I've ever seen was my Hubbys.

These are PRETTIEST Christmas trees I've seen, EVER. Most definitely want to do this for next years Christmas tree. Probably a mini tree unless I can grow a ton of orchids. I can't get over how pretty these trees are.

We have a couple of good friends leaving the island moving to different orders or getting off deployment. Gunna miss them, but we wish them all the best. 

I'm excited to see what adventures Hubby and I will get in to. I have a couple of places I wanna see before we move. 

Once again, Happy New Years! May it be filled with love, drama free and wonderful memories.Whatever you wanna achieve in 2014 make it happen. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Whatever issue you had last year let it go and shake it off. I need to work on that too. With that said, go make memories, don't BE the drama, and make things happen, one love!
