Happy New Year everyone!!! I hope you guys had a fun-filled holidays and that you finally have enough energy and positivity to welcome 2017.
For me it went very great in fact I never thought I can get my family and his altogether for holidays knowing we both are long distance ever since and I cannot wait to spend holidays and special gatherings with him for a life time. Yes, you just read it. Mon amour asked me to marry him last December and I might write a short blog about it in the future. We also plan to go back home and have a wedding so our whole family can attend.
I would say 2016 made me a better and stronger individual and partner. There were a lot of challenges and good times but I made it through that is why I'm here writing this short blog. Lols.
Anyway, if you have read from my previous blog my family came here for holidays and my wedding. It was intimate which I love because we both know having a big wedding in America was quite impossible for us at that time. Before that, we had no plans to get married we once talked about it but we both know we were not ready and we had our personal plans/goals for 2017. We wanted to focus with our careers and by the time we are ready we will have our dream wedding someday but I guess plans changed and sometimes we have better ones. At first I was scared because in my mind I was here for a grand holiday after all my hard work and money earned from my internship. I deserve a break and enjoy my savings before I work. But here I am sitting and sharing this to you which I'm totally happy with and I'm really enjoying my life right now. I have more exciting plans ahead and adventures to share with mon amour.

So our family met and we were able to spend a lot of time - I really miss being with them. Sooo much! Even before this, my sister have met his parents when she visited me during my internship and last 2015 my family met his mom. So this was like my family meeting his dad and elder sister. So much fun and I felt a little nervous you know? Has anyone felt that?
I was a little disappointed because the weather didn't comply with us. Most days it was either raining or snowing which made driving unsafe so we just spent driving around Lake Tahoe, Virginia, Olympic Valley and many other places. But it still better than not having them here, right? :-)
We went to food buffets, did sight seeings, ate sushi, more shopping, movie marathons, playing games and more eating and drinking. Hahaha. I wish we can do it again.
Sadly all holidays has to end. Last January 14th they left and I tell you the first two nights I was crying in bed but mon amour was there to cheer up :')
For 2017 I hope our plans will turn out as planned. We have many goals to achieve like going back to school, start saving up for our wedding in the Philippines, house, new car and hopefully having one baby soon.
Here are some of the pictures I took:
