Our Love Story Begins Today

It was odd not having to golf today. Also odd not having any real plans today either. But it was a nice surprise. Got to sleep in. Assembled the crib. Clean. Pack. Try random food. Hopefully win the $$$ lotto. Made food my Em liked. Rediscovered some good oldies. If only every day could be like today. TTQD!!!

Third times a charm they say. Peter text me to golf and it didn’t work out. TJ didn’t invite us. So me and Nate went on our own. Get to sleep in tomorrow 💤  I’d like to plant this in back yard. I think it’s called honeysuckle. Smells and tastes good. Cool. TTQD!!!

Hi Em! Thanks for all you do. Some progress is between than none. I cleaned the stove. I also got quotes on repairs. It’s like it’s never ending. I think I should start reading up on parenting. Anyhow. Have a great day. ATEN!!!

Weak as in sucky. Weak sauce. Sometimes I can’t tell if pain on my head is a pimple or somewhere I bumped my head… Anyhow, at least I got the stress project I was worried about done for the most part. Also I love you very much and we’re blessed. TTQD!!!

So much to pray for. Not sure how to prioritize. Lord hear my prayers. ATEN!!!

Life is often full of lots of things happening at the same time. Some things happen without a second thought (the lady bug that lands on my ball that I shoo away), but other things can linger. Anyhow, all we can do is try our best to stay focused on important things we can control. Not sure if I would have played better or got birdies had my mind been clear today, but it was a good day otherwise. #blessed. Time to wash and peel. ATEN!!!

Mother looks so disappointed in me, but I’m trying my best. I can only promise I will always try better…but likely, she’ll never be happy with me: But I hear she’s a good messenger to Jesus. Maybe if I pray for other people, she’ll pass my prayer on 🙏.  Love you mom. TTQD!!!

Man, can believe he’s only 5, but I guess that makes sense since he’s Lucas’s age. I’m currently waiting for tacos. Hopefully this party goes off without a hitch. Lots of things coming up that I hope goes off without a hitch. 🙏  I have to try to remember to only focus on what I can do and what I should worry about. But it’s hard. So I get when my baby is stressed about things, but it’s the best advice I can give.

It’s Friday, so that’s good. Found a dollar today.  But it could be better 😂. Been so busy, but so lazy. Just gotta keep on keeping on. Praise to God. ATEN!!!

Just working on the things I can control today and praying to God for everything else. (Can you spot the quarter? I loss one.) Just trying to take care of my babies. And then my parents. And then myshelf. Still blessed, but just a little stressed. 🙏 ATEN!!

My wife complained she doesn’t like life lessons. Maybe she should write her own blog, lol. Anyhow, I’m at the DMV, trying to figure out where her registration is. So much going on in life and it is overwhelming. All I can do I focus on the things right in front of me and work on that. Some things are out of our control. TLG!!! (Update: they said it’s slated to be mailed out tomorrow…so should get it next week. Can’t complain or request a new one until 30 days from issue date because I tried to ask for it today.)

Feeling a little lazy today. I guess these types of days can’t be avoided. But it’s important to minimize these days. There’s always things to do. I did do some laundry and install a shower head, but could do so much more. No luck with the lottery today, but there’s always next time. In the mean time, just gotta keep moving forward after each step back. TTQD!!!

Not like mmm good though. I was gonna post this yesterday, but then I saw you and mom. So I posted that instead. But here you go: Jesus is back. Gavin is coming. If ever there was a time to get my life together, it’s probably now. I’ve been working to do and be better, but it’s time to step it up. Monday is as good a day as any. ATEN!!!

This is the last reset hopefully. I guess I shouldn’t say hopefully, but nothing is for sure. Thanks for always chatting with Mom. My aunt says that we should talk to her. But I’m not that good at talking. Really appreciate it. ATEN!!!

Yesterday was the traditional Tax Day (and Vince’s oldest brother’s Taras’s birthday), but I think they extended it to Monday. Not sure why… It’s nice to know we already did our taxes. Slowly, but surely, things are progressing. It’s so easy to look into the future and be overwhelmed, but it’s all the little steps that take to get there that we need to focus on and enjoy. ATEN!!!

Hey, Jesus is coming back. You ready? I hope I am. Gavin is coming soon too. If my life wasn’t together yet, better get it together soon. 🙏  Sorry you didn’t get a letter or anything from Buffalo. Sigh. ASTEN!!!

I still believe the best part of running is when you’re done. I think everyone enjoys crossing things off lists, but we don’t always like doing things. But I’m trying to get it done. Tossing things and finding homes for things is getting easier. Woohoo! TLG!!!

I hate wasting useful things…$30 Fortunately, Lorraine will take it. So many more things to get rid of. But don’t worry, Em isn’t one of those things. I don’t want to get rid of Em yet. TTQD!!

And slow on the golf course today. We were moving okay, but it doesn’t look like we’re gonna finish today. Kinda sad because the round started off with so much potential. Then it was reverse potential. Now it might be incomplete, but it’s nice to be able to golf regardless. Anyhow, still blessed (albeit) cold. Nate debating if we should wait. It’s looking bleak. It’s been a while since I hadn’t finished, but I shouldn’t have expected to finish. TLG!! Didn’t finish, 17 holes….

Man it was hard to get up and to work today. It’s been like 2 weeks since I had to do that and spend a full day in the office. And I have to come back again Thursday… Just found out poor Avery will be sad Aunty can’t make it to his game. He asked about us last week. I guess uncle is cool enough. We not boyz lol. Maybe I’ll blow up a headshot of Em to bring with me. Avery Thuong Em Nhat…

Today, in front you Em, I told both my parents that if they need money, please let me know. I don’t spend their money. It’s in an account for them if they need it. They don’t need to ask Uyen. I understand that you’re concerned she thinks you’re spending or holding the money. So you asked me to remind them and clarify, that I have the money if they need it and you’re not involved. So I did that. You just need to understand how I feel. I feel that I’ve told them multiple times. One more time isn’t gonna make a difference. My dad seemed annoyed and my mom doesn’t seem to get it. But I annoyed my dad because you wanted me too. Anyhow, regardless of how either of us feel, at least the result is a solution for future. You will communicate with mom yourself should you have concerns. 

Sometimes you just gotta try to reset and try it again. Back to the golf course today. Wasn’t pretty, but it was still fun. Had chances to do well, but the putts didn’t fall. This soup was also www, but the coffee made up for it. Hope to get my life together as best as I can before Gavin comes. Hopefully I can be a good example for him and a good parent. 🙏 TLG!!!

…but I didn’t do as much as I could. Probably should have done more. But something is better than nothing. Didn’t golf, so that will have to wait for 13 more hours… I ate too much today. Bored is bad. Need to be more motivated to do stuff so I don’t eat too much. Womp, womp, womp. TTQD!!

Woohoo!!! Hopefully no one else reads this and knows where we live. They can steal our internet. I just need to update your phone and everything should have new Wi-Fi. This was Tony’s idea, but I’m not blaming him so don’t say anything negative to him 😂  If you’re on the sidewalk or in the backyard you should have good signal. So glad tomorrow’s Friday. I kind of want to go golfing. But we’re going Saturday. ATEN!!

Life is currently www. But I’ve always thought that if I could solve my problems with money (that I had), then it wasn’t worth worrying. This is how my life is: Busted candles is a good symbol. Anyhow, I’ll just pray that God can help with the problems I can’t solve with money and I’ll try not to worry too much. Also I seem to have a lot of small cuts. WWW. ATEN!!!

Today is gonna be one of those days. I think this week after vacation is gonna be busy. Lots to do on the personal and professional fronts. It’s always a double edged sword as being busy is good, but it can be overwhelming. Just ate while I had a meeting because it took longer to cook. I don’t like tomatoes too much except in sauces and salsa, but this wasn’t bad. Gotta go to work now and call our dentist about my crown. ✌️ ATEN!!

Guess who is currently “not sleeping”, but “resting my back” right now? Yes, my Em. I could probably have blogged at multiple points today, but you never know where the day will take you. Here’s the reason for this season (trip). Trang mentioned it early, but I think it’s safe to say it was a success. I’ll be back to the grind (and probably office) tomorrow. www. TTQD!!!

Not sure what’s gonna happen in Toronto today, but I hope it’s a good day. The whole point of this trip is for Em to have a good time. I hope she did and that I didn’t do anything to take away from that. Lord hear my prayer. We went to church on Saturday so one less thing to worry about today. I can’t believe it’s Sunday already. Only have a day left. I hope Em got enough family time. I was worried 3ish days was enough. TTQD!!

Sometimes we make bad decisions, but the result is good. That doesn’t mean we should keep making the same decision, chances are we just got lucky.  Sometimes I forget that. And then bam, life reminds me. Play dumb games, get dumb prizes. Life is hard sometimes, but probably a result of bad choices and dumb decisions 😂. ATEN!!!

So much drama surrounded golfing this week, but it did shed some insight on my life. Most importantly, what’s important and what’s not.  It was nice hanging out and golfing yesterday. It did cost money, but worth it. Much better than other ways I spend. Which I guess is it what it boils down to. Spending money the right way. Like spending time and energy the right way. ATEN!!!
