That’s what Cesar Chavez would have said. Today’s his day. It’s a good mantra to follow. What shall be the picture today?
Tada!!! Anyhow, thanks for trying and being relatively successful today implementing “The Plan”. Sorry you didn’t want me to drive you to work or kiss me. We’ll just have to pray when you get home. Drive safe. TTQD!!
Works on structures and works on relationships. I had an idea of what I wanted to write about today, but then I forgot. Sorry.
Anyhow. Here’s Mr. Crab. He had a good time, but nit too many pictures in Reno. Thanks for the tacos. Man, I had a really good idea too for what I wanted to write. Alright, time to pray. TTQD!!
Sometimes things change and that’s good. Sometimes things stay the same and that’s good too.
It was nice to see the Garcias. I feel bad we didn’t see them more during the last year. Hopefully we’ll be able to see them more often. Hope you had fun Em. ATEN.I regret eating the garlic 🤢
Today is the second to last Friday of Lent. I guess you could call it the almost Good Fri-yah.
Things have changed quite a bit. Can’t remember the last time we ate inside a restaurant. Do you remember this meal? Lots going on these days, but things are moving forward whether we want them to or not. I’m curious how future us will remember this time. 🤔 TTQD!!
Mr. Crab doesn’t get out much anymore. But times are different these days. Fortunately, he has some adventures ahead of him in the near future:
There are also less pills now too, but there’s still some pills. Don’t forget to pack Mr. Crab. Or he’ll be Mr. Sad Crab ☹️. TLG!!
Looks like it’s time for scheduled maintenance on the Honda Accord. I know Em is getting a Honda Civic, but I’m gonna stay away from Hondas for a while, at least older or v6 ones. Good thing your civic is likely a 4 cylinder and newer. Anyhow, I digress.
What I’m reminded of today is how insignificant my problems seem in light of other peoples’ issues. It’s not to say that my problems are not serious or important to me, rather to remind me that most things in life are things that we shouldn’t stress about. Going back to my idea of life in 4 squares. Thanks for choosing me. I really want you to be happiest. I hope I’ll always be that source for you. ATEN!!
Since you were disappointed I didn’t use this picture yesterday here you go:
Also don’t worry, I didn’t put anything in your coffee (or did I bwhahaha). Today’s posting is being create a little early. I hope you had a good day at work. I hope we were successful at my parents. I hope we have a good dinner. I also hope we don’t fight. I’ll make sure I bite my tongue when you say or do something crazy 😜. Anyhow, Anh thuong Em nhieuest of the nhatest. TLG!! I swore the chicken looked bigger when we were frying it, but it was soooo small when eating 😂.
I didn’t know what to post about today, but google reminded me of a picture from 1 year ago:
Why were we so happy on this day in 2020? Is this because we didn’t know what was gonna happen? Ignorance is bliss they say. Today we’re praying for your neighbor. Truly what a difference a year makes. Lub yooo!!!
I hope you enjoyed your day off today. I know you felt relieved after seeing decorator. I hope my flight stuff didn’t cause you too much trouble. Thanks for your patience. Haven’t had a life lesson in a while:
Cooking pho is an analogy for life. It’s not always what you put in, but better ingredients probably help. It’s about the effort and care you put in preparing the dish. I’m glad you enjoyed the pho today. I enjoyed hanging out with you and getting things done. Just know, your efforts will garner results. Not always what you may expect, but results nonetheless. TTQD!!!
It may be St. Patrick’s Day today, but I feel lucky every day. I got me an Uyen Do. She’s one of a kind. I know we don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things, but I think we do on the important things.
I also want you to know that I appreciate all that you do. I may not always like the results, but I appreciate that you mean well and you try. If you ever feel I don't appreciate or love you, please let me know so I can tell you you're wrong. ATEN!!
The day after the day after daylight savings has a sense of normalcy to it. Didn’t wake up too tired. Saw some old friends. Saw my parents. Ate some good food:
I’m sorry I’m not the best photographer, but the food was delicious. Thanks for making the food and making it the right way (not sacrificing health for taste). Sometimes it’s okay. Balance is the key to success. TTQD!!
They say that money can’t buy happiness or that money can’t by health or that money can’t buy time. I don’t think it’s that money can’t buy these things, it’s probably that money can’t buy enough of these things or that the buyer doesn’t have enough money or they’re probably using it wrong 😂 I’m not saying poor people can’t be happy and healthy and I’m not saying rich people can’t unhappy and unhealthy. I’m saying having more money is usually better than having less. Actually I can’t buy think of anytime it’s not better. So what’s the point of this long rant?
Let me first start by saying I love Em nhieuest of the nhat. And in no way does the money make me love you more or less. What the money does show and that I’ve always know is how much Em thuongs Anh. I joke about it all the time, but I know you love me. But to my previous paragraph, having this extra money doesn’t make my life worse, it makes it better. If it ends up making it worse it’s probably cause I spent it wrong. Anyhow. Thanks for the money. We can use it to ship your car 😂. TTQD!!!
Look at Em. Isn’t you so dep gai? 😍
Thanks for offering to pay for shipping the car. I appreciate it. I just want to make it clear. EM IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ANH THAN MONEY. ALSO EM BRINGS ANH MORE HAPPINESS THAN MONEY. But having money doesn’t cause Anh any negative emotions 😂. Anyhow, I got here early so I’m gonna look through your photos. See you soon. TLG!!
Our big day is 3 months away. I know how anxious and excited you are. It's been a lot of work and effort put in to make this happen. I appreciate all that you've done towards that end. I hope that becoming Mrs. Uyen Nguyen (or Do...) doesn't change the love and energy that we have for each other now. That's one of the things that I think about. I know a child will change that dynamic for sure, but in the absence of a child, I pray that we continue to grow on our trajectory together as a couple.
Doesn’t quite have the same ring as Wild Wednesdays, but it’s been quite an interesting day. A lot of self-reflection and highs and lows. I want to thank you for letting me know that I cut you off. I can’t do better if I don’t know better. I’m sorry if I been kinda out of sorts lately. I’m just trying to figure out things. It’s not your fault, so don’t worry.
To make up a little, here’s something to make you smile. Thanks for your patience and understanding as I figure myself out.
Here’s another one. You probably seen these, but just a reminder. ATEN!!!
Well technically only half, but that’s better than none. I meant to post this picture yesterday, but I wasn’t able to:
Em made me a dish and I made Em a dish. It’s a Uyen-Nguyen situation. Food is a universal way to share/show love. I know Em means well, but it’s okay if the love tastes good too. TTQD!!
I ate this today. Em tries to cook for me. It’s one of the ways she shows she cares. She used to try to cook healthy, but it didn’t taste as good so now she tries to make better tasting food. Thanks. TTQD.
Mondays are always good because they’re busy and work flies by. It’s already 8:55PM. Em and I got stuff done today too. Yah.
It’s nice when Em really loves me, but when she is busy or ignores me it hurts. It’s not her fault. She can only feel how she feels at the moment. When it’s good it’s great. When it’s not, it’s horrible. That’s living life at the extremes.
Today you get 3 paragraphs. I wanted to take a picture of you this morning sleeping pretty, but you moved. Like a sandwich. Hehe. Thanks for your enthusiasm. It’s refreshing. 😘 I’ll see you soon and we can pray, yah. TTQD Em!!!
But it seems to have worked itself out for now. It’s refreshing that we were able to not get to bent out of shape over the things that went wrong today. Instead we were able to keep what we could right. Good job Team Uyen-D!!!
Even in light of the pandemic birthday she can smile I’m sure glad we could find the silver lining today. Also I didn’t think you wanted a picture of your broken garage or my Korean bbq 😂 I’m glad we’re in this together. TTQD!!!
I had a picture of Em sleeping for blog, but it got deleted...
So instead, here’s a picture of food. Sorry we didn’t take any photos in SF. I meant to ask you at the pier, but forgot. At least we have memories. Glad you had a great day today and that I was a part of it. TTQD!!
P.S. I got 🐥 🐥 so I guess I took care of some business too 😂
As long as we keep moving forward, we’ll be okay.
So is our love (I hope).
Sorry the angle makes your finger look fat...or does it? Anyhow, I just want you to know what I’m glad you resolved your problems with Paul. While I didn’t agree with the methods, I’m about results. TLG!!
Hi Em who loves me more in the morning... Anh loves Em more when she doesn’t criticize how he spends his money. Anh also loves Em more when she treats him fairly. I was just thinking about it this morning. I appreciate your mom thinking about my parents. And I appreciate you wanting to take your mom’s advice. But it’s okay too.
It’s been a while since I complained about being in Em’s top 100. I know that things won’t always be fair and that sometimes. Anh loves Em extra when he feels in the top 100 and when things are more fair. Thanks for all you do. TTQD!!!
Hi Em. I hope this message finds you well. I’m just sitting at your house. Waiting for you to come home. I’m sorry I ate a little and snacked a little, but I’ll eat again with you when you get home. Hopefully we’ll have time to do my mask tonight, but it’s okay if we don’t.
Looks like you’re getting overtime today. So that means you should be in a good mood. It’s funny, but money seems to bring us both joy. Anyhow, thanks thuonging me. I appreciate it. ATEN.
In 2019, we were eating at TJ and Joann’s. It’s crazy how much has changed (and not changed) since that time.
They made pizza last week. It looked good. They better invite us next time so we can decline 😂. Good food and good friends make for good times. I’m hungry, but I already ate dinner. See you soon. TLG!!
I think I may have written this title before, but today is the last blog post I will write as your boyfriend. But the truth is that this is ...
