30 days: I’ve always wanted to do this

..and it’s about time I did. (:

True story. About a year ago (September 13, 2010 to be exact), I was in Hong Kong International Airport with David. He was flying back to New York but had to be on a 12-hour layover in HK; and me, well, I got myself round trip tickets just to spend those last 12 hours with him. And what an expensive 12 hours it was! Time can be costly, but when you’re in a long-distance relationship, you wouldn’t mind spending if it means more time. I remember how hard it was to say good bye. And I remember how my solo trip back to Manila seemed like the longest 4 hours of my life.

Oh how much has changed since then! He’s here with me now, we live under the same roof, and we never have to say good bye again (except maybe in the mornings when I leave for work, but okay, that doesn’t count). I often have to pinch myself, or exert extra effort to keep from smiling in the most random of moments. God has been awesome, and everyday we bask in His goodness and this new-found joy.

And our wedding.. our wedding was beautiful.

Today I’m going for round two of this 30-day blog challenge. I did this in August 2009 (remember those awesome things?) and I thought perhaps, it’s about time I start a new round. I’ll be posting mostly photos this time though, coz quite frankly, I’m not sure how to squeeze in writing in my growing list of responsibilities as a professional, a disciple, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and this just in, a wife.

I’m modifying White Peach Photography’s Photo Challenge for this purpose, and to make it sweeter, I’ll be sharing photos from our wedding.

So without further ado.. the photo list is below the fold. My 30-day challenge starts now. (:
