California Adventures pt1 : First Class Experience

The Mister had to travel to California for work so he took me along! It was really last minute since we had to book tickets the day before we had to fly out. Is it lame to be OVERLY excited about first class?!?!?!

DUDE! It's my first time so I was jumping up and down inside

......until he told me that he bought himself an economy ticket......  

I was SUPER mad at the Mister for buying me a first class ticket and not experiencing it with me. I don't want to sit next to a strange old fart!!!!!  

Luckily when we checked into the airport he got a free upgrade and was able to change his seat next to mines :) 

I remember a time when I sat in those small economy seats and being feed meals. That was a longggg time ago. Now MAYBE you could get a can of soda and for $7.49 some cheese and crackers. Sadness.

First Class flight attendants are so much more attentive to you. Before the plane even goes up they offer you a drink. All drinks and alcohol is free, then during the flight they offer you another. They give you a warm towelette to refresh your face and clean your hands with. You can have white or red wine with you meal. They walk around asking Croissant or Cinnamon roll. And in the end you get a cookie!

Very classy :)

A+ !

XOXO,

July Update

Nothing much to update this month except that the Mister cerebrated his BIRTHDAY!!!!  He is now 1 year older and his body definitely has been rebelling against him. We went for a run and while I scolded him for not stretching, he would replied in a matter of fact tone  'I never have to stretch'. 
......a few hours later....... He can barely walk because he strained his left butt cheek- YES HIS LEFT BUTTOCK.
...the next day... he accidentally cut himself in the hand.
...a week later... twisted his ankle at work
...the month before... broke his hand

I think I have met my match because I have never met anyone as clumsy as I, either that or someone has cursed him using a voodoo doll. 
Anywho.....
I can't believe I have less than a month until school starts again. I was trying to document a lot of the stuff we say to each other because he just cracks me up! It will give me a chance to look back on it while I am stressing over exams. 


While watching a 'Kendra On Top' in Miami episode: Mister: oh hey!!! We went to that club!!!! ( pointing excitedly) ..me ignoring him.. Mister: HEY!!! WE WENT TO THAT CLUB!!!! ( giving me the pay attention to me voice) ...me giving him the evil eye... Marley: um when did we go to Miami together??  Mister:( gives me an oh crap look) ...me eye rolling...
Because I make such a mess: Mister:  I can't wait to do a full cleaning of this house. It will be so orgasmic. 
Arguing about his and mines: Mister: When you talk to your friends, it's OUR porch. But when it comes down to cleaning it, it's MY porch?!?!?!

When we go out:

Marley: Do I look like a grandma? Mister: ...... { walks away} XOXO, Marley

June Update

It has been pretty busy. Everyone is getting married this summer! For the past 3 weekends, we have gone to Philly, Rhode Island, and NY for weddings. Being engaged and going to weddings; you have a different outlook on it. I've gone to weddings before and I've never noticed details like I do now. We find ourselves always observing what we like, what we didn't like, and what we want to incorporate. I can tell when a bride  puts herself in the small pieces. 
It's pretty funny when the Mister guesstimates whether a table is 60 inches or 72 inches and how many people can fit in one. We don't like talking about weddings but it just comes up in everyday conversation.

Wedding 1 Theme: Love Next Door
The theme of the wedding was super cute 'Love Next Door'. The bride and groom have been friends since they were kids and lived next door to one another but never started dating until they were older. 

Groomsmen holding the bouquets.

We all wore blue (coincidentally was the bride's colors)!

Wedding 2:  I had so much fun because it was like a college reunion and the first of my close friends to get married.

Wedding 3:
There was A LOT of drinking. I didn't take too many photos because we were so busy dancing the whole night. It started pretty early and I almost missed eating my dessert!

So Cheesy! 

 It's when memories like these happen, the small details aren't important. 

You can't plan for events like ....

when your feet hurt and the mister lets you borrow his shoes because he doesn't want me to walk around barefoot. 

No Comment. LOL 

The Mister trying to catch the garter belt for me! He tried to jump in front of the crowd but jumped a second too soon. 

Yay! It has been really fun and we were so honored to be apart of our friend's and family special day! 

Thank you. 

XOXO

Engagement Photos

Last Tuesday we were lucky enough to get an engagement shoot with the wonderful Shang Chen Photography. When I got the email with a sneak peak of our photos on her blog, I SQUEALED! I was tehheheheheing as the site slowlyyyyyy loaded on my mobile. I just have an IPhone so our heads were knocking into each other as we I (the Mister does NOT like to read) excitingly read through her blog together. 
It was our first time being professionally photographed  but Shang helped us and was super encouraging in directing our shots. She is Crazy-A$$ talented and I am so heartbroken that she will be retiring soon. I have been an avid blog follower of her work for a while and without reading the captions of the photos you can tell the range of emotions and moments she captures of  each of her clients and for that, Shang is a true story teller.  
We are so happy to have had the chance to be photographed by her and to share some of the 'moments' she captured of us!
Her Blog: http://shangchenphoto.com/Our Engagement Shoot: http://shangchenphoto.com/engagements/boston-engagement-photography-marlana-phong/

I recommended looking at her other posts too. Literally whenever I read her other couples, I feel so warm and fuzzy inside because love is radiating out of her photos!

Laughing for no reason

Today I helped Mommy Yee clear out the garage and paint the doors so it will be nice and pretty for this weekend's Temple grand opening. On my way home I became very excited to see the Mister. When I did get home,  I found him asleep in bed at 7:30pm. 

I guess as we are getting older, our sleep schedules get earlier. Yesterday we slept at 8:30pm. The past few weeks it has been 9pm. 

Then I did what a caring fiance would do... I jumped onto the bed and woke him up! 

He was a bit dazed and confused. Even though he kept asking me for five more minutes I was too excited and wanted to wake up him so we could just talk. Then for some odd reason I giggled. He asked me repeatedly why I was laughing. I was laughing for no reason but I didn't answer. Then he pointed his finger at me and  responded with "ARE YOU LAUGHING AT MY MAN BOOBS!!!!!!" 

At that point I could not stop laughing. We were laughing out loud crazy as the Mister tried to cover up himself with our blanket. 

No worries honey, you have no man boobs and if you did, I would love them too- more to hug!

Google Video Date

 Our time is precious and few and far between.A little aside because I do miss blogging and it's the only ME time I love to give myself.
 I was just thinking about this --> post(click HERE)  the other day and again just a few minutes ago. It makes me feel so thankful how lucky I am. Despite the craziness of school/life/family, I am just so happy that I have that special someone whose always got my back mentally, emotionally, and physically
yay for free back rubs, an open ear and heart.... and for LOVE. 

Mister serenading me before bed. If only I could record his big head bobbling off tune, that would have been a lovely moment to capture. 
If you have love in your life or believe in love (and please say you do because it is out there)let me get a WOOT WOOT!

FaceTime Date

Just another post about how we communicate on a daily basis. 

It's crazy how you can spend loads of time with someone and yet still find something new about them. For instance after so much time together, I did not know your face could contort this way......

I love how comfortable we are together and that your not afraid to be goofy with me.   

You see this perplexed face? 
Doesn't it look like he's in deep thought? Especially with his forehead all wrinkly....
He must be watching a documentary of some sort????

Nope! He was watching cartoons.... specifically...
THE HULK

The mister's favorite quote?"hulk smash puny human"which he would repeatedly say over and over and over......

ohhh how I adore you ***sigh***
