Today is the birthday of Mama Mary but we have another reason to celebrate. Hubby and I are celebrating our sixth year of hubby-and-wifey. We have nothing grand planned for the day. We attended early morning mass and we plan to spend the day together as a family, eat at a special restaurant and enjoy each other's company.
The past six years hasn't been easy. We have our own ups and downs, quirks and "not-pleasant" habits. Yet we strive to love and respect each other and try not to change our significant other (much!!).
Hubby and I are not the lovey-dovey type. We would not always hold hands and kiss, but we try to do things together. We are each other's barkada. We find common interests that would not make life monotonous and boring. We found out that have the same passion for collecting Coke, we both like to read and we are both homebod(ies). Now that Skid is part of the family, we plan activities with him in mind but also make sure that other important things are not (easily) forgotten.
Weekday lunch is time for hubby and me to be by ourselves; share meal and have conversation. Evening after dinner and work is family bonding time. We play Hide-and-seek under the blankets, read storybooks, play with Skid's action figures. When Skid finally falls asleep then it's Me-time wherein we read by our ourselves, watch TV, do our own thing. Sundays are spend either relaxing or attending to activities of our extended families.
It takes a lot of effort, it's hard; but it's not impossible. It just takes a little more maturity, a lot of selflessness. It's not thinking of yourself as first but as second, third or fourth. =)
