Scrappin' and loungin'


Ahh yes today is Friday, the night is young, the air is cool and perfect snuggle weather.  After dinner, Vien and I glanced over at each other, by the look in our eyes we knew we wanted to stay in tonight.  We figured we'd spend some 'us' time, quality lounge around the house time, a movie or two tonight and maybe scrapbook somethin'.  When we scrap, typically we do a page each of a particular weekend or holiday.  For example, in a typical 12x12 album, I would design the left page and Vien would design the right page.  By doing it this way, we showcase how we envisioned the weekend or that particular holiday by how we decorate it or by which pictures we choose to print and use.  The last time I remember scrapbooking was back in May 2010 when we went to Santa Barbara for our first time, to see 30 seconds to Mars concert @ the Bowl.  Yeah ages ago!

But now with all our wedding planning behind us, we now finally have the time to do what we want to do and be able to plan a whole weekends dedicated to us.  And now normal everyday life sets in, but only difference now is we are officially a married couple!  Just the ring to it, still gives me chills and I still can't believe that we made it.  In a good way of course!  But I know, we will continue to do the same things we normally would do, such as hanging out with  with family and friends, looking for new places to visit, taking hundreds of pictures, and our favorite past time, dining at new restaurants on Sunday mornings.  It's now been 4 weeks since we've been married and so far its been a blessing.  I look forward to our new family, and where the future may take us.  As a reference to Maui, on the Road to Hana, we had a saying...'its not about just finishing your journey, but its about all the stops along the way, enjoying each and every milestone along the way towards the finish... is what the journey is truly all about'
