Our Love Story Begins Today

I don’t think I said anything today…There was lots of chances too. 👏  Anyhow. Hope you had a good time in Revolutionary War Country. Can’t imagine we’ll be going back anytime soon….

There’s really nothing to blog about at this point. At least not about our Love Story. It’s all blank pages here going forward. I will probably mess up and say something because it’s my nature, but I will work hard to make it natural. Ironic that the word natural is some times a result of hard work and habit. Pray for me (and us) 🙏.

I don’t know why people still insist on the rehearsal dinner and the ceremony in general. They all seem so stressed out over it. Seems dumb to volunteer and do things that stress you out. I’m sorry to run up their tab, but I’m sure they would have ran up mine and they don’t mind. At least it’s probably cheaper than alcohol…

Sorry it’s not Cabo and that there may be family drama, but it’s not like we had a choice to be here or not so don’t be too hard on yourself.  Maybe just drink “coffee” like Vinh and you’ll be alright. Just breathe and try to say the third thing that comes to your mouth. Or not talk. It’s gonna be alright. It’s only 3-4 days… 🙏 

See, you can do it and want to. Just remember that feeling. Anyhow, we should probably find a better way to pack early. Not be like Tony. I started having 2 sets of toiletry items to make it a lot easier… Otherwise it’s stressful for you. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. We can do it. Safe travels tomorrow Em. ATEN!!

And nothing of value on the T-mobile app. What a hectic day, but at least we have each other. I’m gonna  work on not sweating the small stuff as long as there’s not too much small stuff (that ends up being more than big stuff) You just keep working on filling the cup. Love you. TTQD!!

Does it feel different? You love me again like you did before? I almost bought you this vest, but I wasn’t sure if you’d like it. Costco sales are great. Need to go to Costco more, but now that Vinh is at So, I would need to start going to South Sac. I guess I could see Angeline. Anyhow, may today be the first day to a brighter tomorrow 🙏.

I’m hoping today is a turning point. We have some much time ahead of us I hope. 🤞 I don’t like keeping receipts, but I think it helps to visualize the issue. Thank you for acknowledging how much I do. If you really believe that, I hope it will spark lasting change. Nothing comes naturally unless it’s a habit first. Let’s make filling this jar a habit. For a happy and long future together 🙏.

In case you forgot, it’s doing the same thing and expecting different results. We got lucky to make it in the connecting flight today. I understand we could have had a longer layover in Dallas, but that would have doubled the flight time.  I will make an effort to make decisions with you in the future. Since I have let you make the decisions on your own, I can’t really complain. Now I know better so I will do differently and hopefully get different (and better) results. 🙏 

Happy life. My nuts are full tonight. They need to be empty before bed so I can sleep better. Which helps me deal with all the stress that comes in the day.  If you can’t function without enough sleep, you should be able to understand that I function better with my nuts empty. I do so much everyday for us, this is really something you need to do everyday for me. It’s a simple as that. It will go a long way. We both have to make the effort and sacrifices some times. It can’t just always be me…

Well technically I am still married to you so I can’t really say “I Do” again. I’m glad you said you still wanted to meet me. I’m pretty amazing I know. But I do want us to find a way to get the most out of our marriage.  Marriage isn’t about perfection. Marriage isn’t easy either. But we really owe it to ourselves, Vinh, and those around us to do better…

It sucks that you were a little later than expected, but at least you didn’t miss the ceremony like some people. Anyhow, it’s just another example that we can’t choose to be on time, but we do have the choice to be early.  I know you were stressed too. That’s why I think you should really try to be early so you don’t have to stress and stress out others. I just told Vinh today in his blog that he can do whatever he wants when it doesn’t impact others, but when it does, then he needs to think about the action and consequences. #evelyn

What a crazy day! Hopefully it will be okay for Jenn’s wedding tomorrow. This stupid now Google tool is getting in the way of my typing. I hope I don’t make an error.  It’s quite an interesting resort. Haven’t been able to enjoy it too much yet except food, but we still have a few days to try. Let’s also try to be better for each other. Not a perfect marriage, but perfect for each other. 

Welcome to Mexico. Hope you have fun. Doan said we should enjoy or reunion. It was a rough start, but we d still got time to make the most of it. I want to make live all the things I have to say during Jennifer’s wedding, but I really need you to live up to it as well. That’s the blunt truth. You ask and get a lot out of me. I need you to give. All these retreats and praying, it’s not really helping you if it doesn’t help our family. It’s not just me, it’s Vinh too. When you do things please really think who it’s for and who it’s impacting….

To stress and complicate my life. You seemed like you had a good time. I’m happy for you. I hope you got something out of it. But as I suspected it hasn’t really changed our relationship.  As I lie here in bed trying to fall asleep. It’s difficult. My BP was 142/93/70. I think about the wedding I have to officiate and I say they have to grow together, forgive often, and always choose each other. I was struggling with the forgiving often part cause it seems like in the one who always have to forgive (forget). And I feel like you don’t what it grow together and you always choose others before us. Not sure how I’m gonna fake it Wednesday cause I don’t feel it. 🙏 

It wasn’t bad. I tried to enjoy it as much as I could, but it was kinda hard since I had things I needed to do. But hopefully I get some time tomorrow to do it once you get back.  Hopefully, we’ll be able to balance that with Vinh. Anyhow, I really hope you got something out of the retreat. 🙏 See you tomorrow. TTQD

Hope you’re having a blast at the retreat. Me and Vinh are doing great, sorry. He hasn’t really asked about you. Also he didn’t ask for water tonight, but he did drink a whole juice at mom’s after dinner. The water is unused so I’ll reuse it tomorrow night. I had a revelation today. I’m a precise person. Doesn’t me you have to be. But when you ask me to do something, I would prefer you provide precise instructions or let me do it my way (but you can’t be mad about the results). It’s frustrating when it’s in the middle because then I have questions and you don’t like answering them. I’m also like a device, my battery needs to be charged occasional or it’ll die…

Until Sunday. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Maybe you’ll grow emotionally 🙏. Don’t worry about Vinh. I’ll try my best to keep him safe, healthy and happy. Hopefully he won’t forget you. Www Maybe Vinh will grow this weekend too. 🙏. Vinh is eating well now. We forgot what to call Kieu’s parents, bur they weren’t there so it’s okay. Maybe I’ll ask my parents Saturday. I just suddenly felt tired. It’s only 712P…

Hope you enjoyed your time with Vinh. It’s really interesting to hear you go from how much you love him to yelling at him. It happens so often and so quickly. Is that normal? I don’t think it’s good. Sounds bipolar. Or extreme. Anyhow, enjoy your time away. I hope it brings you closer to the best version of you for Team Matcha Boba Milk Tea. 🙏
