Our Love Story Begins Today

Part of me is glad that the party is cancelled, but I also feel bad for anyone who wanted to take part. I just hope that everyone is safe and has a good start to 2022. I have to remember that it’s not just about you or I getting Covid, but also the people we can impact. Which sucks, but life has lots of responsibilities. Womp womp womp. I guess Tony and Trang had a little tiff about your parents being exposed. TTQD!!!

Today I was thinking…thanks for helping and worrying about my parents. It’s probably the best thing you can do for me. It makes me less stressed and happy like this: And not like this: Really though. Cam on Em. That’s all I got to say about that. TLG!!!

Don’t tell anyone except Em’s family… Anyways, I very happy that the health outlook is promising for now. Still gonna keep praying. Team Uyen-D is welcoming a bouncing baby boy hopefully in July 2022. Hopefully the year of the tiger will serve everyone well. ATEN!!! Trevor, Gavin, Harvey, Levi…

Thanks again for taking my parents to the doctor. It helps me and them out a lot.  As a reward, here is E. But for reals. I really appreciate it. Man I’m a little lightheaded still. Hope it’s from lack of quality sleep. TTQD!!!

I think I may have a cold or allergies. Forgot we had cold medicine so I took some. I also inhaled last night, but I’ll need to fill whatever new inhaler I can get for future. Can’t really tell, but it doesn’t feel like normal asthma cough. I’ve been opening old FedEx boxes and look what I found. It’s a cricket. Wonder when and where it founds it’s way in. Hopefully the white stuff isn’t deadly. Needed a break from work. I’m hungry, but I already ate a chicken bake. The frozen one is smaller than the one from food court. TTQD!!!

It’s the end of an era. Team Hanna. There’s nothing really bittersweet about this except they both have some closure. I can understand the pressure they must feel from the outside world, but I hope their decisions and future actions can be made outside that. Just like I think it’s selfish to have sick and suffering people stay alive so their loved one can see them. I think it’s selfish for us to want them together for our comfort as well. I just hope that new great beginnings will await them from this end. ATEN!!

Way to go Jesus. Thanks for being born. In celebration I left you a present at church. I also ate less food today for you. Also, it’s not too late Jesus and Mary, please delivery us a healthy and happy baby. No other presents needed. Wait, if you have more presents, please let me pray for the health of my friends and family too. We don’t need physical gifts just health. Oh also, look what Samantha made for Bella: Today I was actually able to upload 2 photos. Woohoo. TLG!!!

I’m not sure if I wrote about this before, but if I did, it just means that I think often about being blessed. If I didn’t I still think often about being blessed 😂  I won’t bore you with all the things I’m blessed with but you’re #1. It’s like I told Jennifer and Melissa all those years ago. You’re always the bright spot in my life. Womp womp womp. TTQD!!!

If I haven’t said it before, I’ll say it now. Thank you for all you do and try to do for my parents. It’s one less thing for me to worry about which really helps with the stress and anxiety. I hope it doesn’t cause you any problems. Also I just remembered I am golfing tomorrow at 7 if it doesn’t rain too much. But you’re also working so I don’t feel too bad. Wuv ya. TLG!!!

Me and Peter had our Christmas meal. I feel bad I said it was cheap 😂. It was $180 though. Anyhow, always trying to feel and remember the blessings. Told Mary that too. Flash makes it possible to see in the dark. Baby is always sweeping. Sometimes it’s easy to get distracted by the bad things and a little bad can overshadow a lot of good. Gotta keep life in perspective. #blessed (not like Ritchie though 😂). TTQD!!

My phone is full of sweeping pictures of my Em Chu. This from today. I hope she’s okay. Ah man. I need to go change the windshield wipers on Camry. Pray the rain isn’t too terrible for the next week or so. Pray also that this roof thing gets resolved. I know it’s ultimately just money, but it sucks still. I got distracted. TTQD!!!

… a lot like Christmas. I was listening to Christmas music at work and singing it with womp womp womp words 😂. I’m currently waiting in line at Costco to fill up the truck before returning but it’s barely empty. Just didn’t want dad to have to pump sooner.  Anyhow, I’m still working tomorrow, but working from home makes it’s feel a little more like Christmas. Woohoo. I did open this gift, but saving rest for Jesus’s birthday. TTQD!!

It was nice to wake up to see Em Chu trying to discipline Lukasaurus. But when she walked away, womp womp womp. Anyhow I had planned to draw a picture and use the picture for today’s image because I didn’t have my phone, but I’ll use this instead. Assuming you didn’t want to see a picture of you sleeping in the car at Target (so I didn’t take it). Can’t wait to eat these and some salmon skin. That’s what I call a winning Sunday. Thanks be to Mary. ATEN!!!

…to the Kingdom of Heaven. Lucas is now Mr. Wah Wah, but it doesn’t seem like it’s appropriate to take a video of him. I’m not sure if Trang okay with anyone “saving” him? Not my 🙊, not my 🎪 . Man he stopped crying fast. Fake crying. 🤦‍♂️ ATEN!

What a day. So much up and down and all around, but hopefully it’s the start of something better. 🙏🏽  Thanks for listening. I know it was uncomfortable, but I hope it will help. Otherwise I’ll just have to throw you in the trunk. But you may not fit in a few months. 😂 TLG!!!

Womp womp womp. I guess I should also put this in writing too. I hope that someday you’ll treat me like an equal and how I ask to be treated. Especially when it comes to money. That you don’t get jealous how I spend my money as I don’t judge how you spend yours.  The flowers and fruit are nice, but to be treated with financial fairness and respect is what I really yearn for. If you could do that I would be very happy. I hope you can consider that. Until then, I really don’t want anything from you material. It would just be a reminder of the judgment and unfairness I feel. Money is a big contributor to relationship problems. We’re gonna have plenty other problems, I’m hoping we can solve this one and it doesn’t appear on our annual reviews for the rest of our time together. TTQD!!!

Let me put it in writing: thank you for all you do for my parents. It alleviates my stress and worry. Today I was little annoyed that I feel like you don’t worry about me sometimes. Like you complain that I do too much for others, but then you volunteer me for stuff and really put me on the spot. I hope I don’t do that to you. Congratulations on “your” gummy bear in your tummy. There’s the other piece of bread. ATEN!!!

Man, what a day yesterday was. So much stuff happened. Mostly negative, but at least the Doward Family arrived unscathed. Also I got the rest of the gift cards today. I know Em may not agree, but it’s nice to have problems that money (that one has enough for) can solve. The problems that money can’t solve suck much worse. Granted no one wants to spend money on things they don’t want to, but being able to do so is a blessing. I got some more towels and baby wipes. ATEN!!!

It’s gonna be busy now with the holidays and family so I’m trying take time during the day while I’m working to post to the blog. Right now I’m driving with Peter to Pho City. Hope this isn’t my lunch he owes me. So cheap…😂 Hang tight for posted picture and review. Wonder what I should get. Feel like I should get pho, but I don’t feel like soup… Peter liked it so maybe Em will like it too. They have small bowl for $10 so it’s a little bit cheaper than Sit Lo and they have fresh noods. He said he couldn’t taste a lot of msg. Ironically it’s owned by someone we know. Anyhow, hope the power comes back soon. Now that I think about it. There’s a battery backup in garage. I wonder what it’s for. TTQD!!!

Anyhow, I almost forgot but I didn’t woohoo. The gang is almost all here. I hope you’re ready for it. I can already sense some tension and stress. Sorry bruh. I didn’t get to take any photos today, but here’s some from the yummy food and company yesterday. Praying we all make it okay the next month. TTQD!!!

Today was a meh day. Slow day at golf course. Cold day as well. Long day in general. But you always need to find the bright spot: New boba spot. Wonder if it would be better if it was Bubble College. At least there’s always that and Em. TTQD!!

I’m unmotivated at the moment so I figured I’d write the blog now to be productive. Unfortunately when I’m unmotivated I also eat more to kill time which is a real vicious cycle. I moved your bag out of the sun. I also ironed the tshirt for Lucas, but it moved so it’s off center 😞. I got the diapers. Didn’t find lighters for myshelf. Did get macarons on sale in case needed. And I returned the mugs. But I guess I should be doing more work. Anyhow. I’m gonna go back to snacking and tv. TTQD!!!

I got pimples in my ears. Plural. The one in the left ear I was able pop and it bleed for a while. Hopefully it’s okay. The one in the right could not pop. Sadly because it’s in the ears it’s actually really hard to tell if it’s popped or just bleeding. So sad. Now I’m haw soo soo too. Buon buon qua di. Also had to change some fluids in car I was expecting so that kinda sucked too. And then the sprinkler for cats  went off without notice. But it easy to forget all the good things in life too. I wonder if the canh is blander because I ate it with seaweed. Thanks for the food Boss. TTQD!!! 

Routine is nice. But sometimes it’s nice to have a little change. Went to a totally random breakfast and tea with your favorite brother from another mother. I also noticed how dirty the sponge container was so I cleaned it. It’s just the beginning. It’s gonna be a lot of cleaning and purging going forward I imagine. TLG!!!

I don’t know how to communicate this really. Today you were very critical of everything. I could let most of it go, but then you were attacking me and making negative assumptions about my future decision making. It just really hurts to know that’s how you think and feel about me. I wish you could learn to think better of me.  There’s such so much hypocrisy. You criticized Kieu for inviting herself to the baptism, but Trang invited herself to your trip. You asked what’s Trang supposed to say to Kieu. What are the wives supposed to say to you? I’m sure they could say no, but it puts them in an awkward position. It’s none of my business, but I just wanted to point out your different reactions for similar situations. I know I comment about life insurance and your house, but I want you to know that I’m just joking with you. And I want to make it very clear now, I don’t want you to get life insurance for me. I understand that I may have gotten it with you and a future family, but that do...

Guess who got married today? It’s also the beginning of the Christmas season (shhh, you’re not supposed to say “Christmas” anymore). It’s our first Jesus’s birthday as a married couple. How exciting. I guess it was also our first July 4, my birthday, Labor Day, your birthday, Thanksgiving and a bunch of other days, but Jesus is pretty important so yeah. Looking forward to a great holiday season. TTQD!!!

Crazy round today. Jay got into an argument with the clubhouse. My golf game sucked.  But it’s Mario’s birthday and it looks like Em had a good time with the girls. So many random to talk about. Hopefully I’ll remember them later. ATEN!!

I almost missed it today. Man. Anyhow, it’s been an interesting day of ups and downs which I guess is life. Hopefully everything works out 🙏🏽. But at least this is something we can agree on. Now you’re telling me to di ngu…ATEN!!!

I recall somewhere people talking and writing about “the last”. It’s often in reference to living life as if today was your last. Which is really important, but then I realize that there’s also “the last” time you do something. It’s sad, but many of the things we do, we may not realize it was for the last time. Which kind of relates to the first part. It really is important to enjoy the moment, it could be the last one. I took a run/walk today. Hopefully it isn’t the last, but the first of many more to come. ATEN!!

That’s all I hear about these days. But it’s the new thing. At the moment I’m feeling very unmotivated. So there’s the title for you. Not to say there isn’t a lot to do or that needs to be done. Just need to find a way to motivate myshelf. I wanted to take a picture of me when I lost, but I only lost the first time. The player is sad like I am. Very funny. Everyone asked who “Anh” is lol. Anyhow, I’m gonna see if I can maybe do some work tonight so tomorrow won’t be as womp womp womp. TLG!!!

Hopefully I haven’t used this title yet, but I’m sure I’ve talked about it. We’re pretty fortunate. I’m sitting here deciding if I want to spend $5 to get $25 from Uber Eats. Unfortunately, nothing speaks to me. I also am sitting here, regretting that I have a Nintendo Switch night tonight. But it’ll be nice to start a tradition to get together with the guys. #blessed. Hope my Em is enjoying her fancy smoothie and potstickers. TTQD!!!
