The Beginning of Our Ever After

Confession #1: I'm still not over our wedding. How do I know? I still browse through our pictures at least twice a week! Here's a glimpse to our wonderful union last October 16, 2008, held in Eagle Ridge Golf & Country Club: (All photos c/o our official photographer, Smart Shot Studio.)

Captured moments during the preps, ceremony, and reception.
Flashback AVP - served as our opening billboard.
Same-day edit, shown during the reception.
Our e-session taken in Subic last June 2008.

We were also featured as one of Lito Genilo's personal favorites in 2008!

Coming up next (hopefully): Our trash the dress session! ;)

My New Baby

It's been exactly 3 months and 22 days since I became Almay Viado-Lacambra. Honestly, it feels longer than that. There are so many changes happening in my life right now, both expected and unexpected, that sometimes it gets so overwhelming. Like I said, each day is an opportunity to discover something new about me and my husband - new quirks, new habits, new expectations... While there's so much to work on, more than anything, I would say we're making the most out of this period in our married life, the "just us" stage.

Why superwifey? One of my very good friends called me this while we were chatting a few days ago. I was complaining telling her how there's so much to do at home and I realized that yeah, I'm a trying hard super-wifey! Hahaha! I'm never the domesticated type so just imagine the major transition I had (am) to go through. The list of things to clean/cook/wash never seems to get short but I'm quite surprised at myself that I'm starting to actually enjoy it. Just last week, AJ and I had this conversation:

Almay: We never got to send out our (wedding) thank you cards, noh?
AJ: Cuz you're too lazy to do those na.
Almay: There's always so much household chores to do kasi.
AJ: I told you. We should get a maid.
Almay: Nah, it's ok. Happy naman akong pagsilbihan ka e.
AJ: Really? (and then he held my hand)

Just like that, and I understood he meant that he appreciates all that I do for him. What better motivation to be the best superwifey there is than to see your hubby happy?

There's just so much more to share about my life as a new spouse, so until I have a real, live, tiny human being crying out to squeeze milk out of my body, this blog is my new baby. ;)
