Something Borrowed

I don't like movies that have a love triangle story. I didn't like Something Borrowed. But In most cases Love always wins. If it's between friendship and love, it's evident the person will usually go with love. I didn't like the fact that a lot of cheating was involved. Do these things really happen in real life? It scares me to know that they do actually.

I remember my mom telling me about one of her college friends ended up with her best friend's finace and another story just like that when we moved her from Armenia, happened to one of her best friend's son. His girlfriend's best friend knew all about him because of all the stories she shared with her friend and so she knew the way to his heart which she eventually ending up winning.

One can look at it as it was meant to be and another can say it was betrayel.

What do you think?

Happy Birthday to My Hubby!

I am the luckiest girl to be married to the sexiest, smartest and funniest man alive!

He has gone from this crazy, fun,  funny wild guy, to a crazy fun, funny wild husband and an amazing daddy. I am so proud of him for everything he is and everything he has accomplished since I met him. Wishing you the stars and the moon babe!

I love you!

Oh My Mother

The transition to becoming a mother has taken some time for me to adjust. I have gotten the hang of things: joggling, full time work, home, baby and being happily married. But, sometimes I feel the pressure that I'm not doing what I should be doing or I could be doing more.  I often think that there must be something wrong with me that drinking coffee and eating chocolate takes away my time from praying and reading the Bible. I also tend to look at others in an elavated way and want to be more like them because from the outside everyone has it so together while at home I'm running around with my big crazy hair and sometimes go to bed with my make up on because I'm just too tired to wash my face 

Today, I read the perfect article that I wanted to share a part from.

Miller-McLemore quotes medievalist scholar Elizabeth Dreyer. Parenting, Dreyer says, “is the ‘ascetic opportunity’ par excellence….A full night’s sleep, time to oneself, the freedom to come and go as one pleases – all this must be given up.”  The sacrifice of parenting is a no-brainer, but I have to admit: it leaves me feeling a little defeated.  This whiney, poopy, chaotic quotidian life is the field in which our spirituality grows and matures?  There’s not some glorious mountaintop waiting for me?

It’s still a little shocking, but perhaps the most spiritual thing I can do may be to embrace my life as a mother. Not a spiritual, metaphorical mother, but a snot-wiping, baby-chasing, diaper bag-toting mother. Because sometimes it’s not the bible stories or the lectio divina, but the Help! and thank you that a relationship is built on.

I love you all my mother friends, do you feel me?

Make Up

I've either been too lazy to wear make up or I've lost my desire to wear a lot of it as I get older. Recently, I've noticed that I feel so much better with less make up on than I do with a lot. I don't know maybe it's a part of becoming a mom. Whatever it is, I'm fine with it. I don't like washing off mascara anyway and even though in my earlier posts I mentioned Olive oil is a great make up remover, I really don't feel like washing my face at nights. I still like getting dolled up for special occasions and that's probably what I'm going to use my make up for...special occasions.
