Perfect Two

David and I have been so busy and so sick  for the past week. We've finished one bottle of NyQuil in less than a week and our DayQuil is nearly empty as well. Plus, we just bought some cough medicine and cough drops are our bestfriends! :(  Thank goodness we're finally recovering, almost. Throughout the week we've been sick, I felt the Lord's tender mercies-although both of us have been sick, there was always one day when one of us would be less sick to take care of the other. We're such different individuals and you would think we'd have tons of clashes but interestingly, our differences complement each other and become a complete couple. Being sick is kind of awesome when you have David Eng as your husband. He takes such good care of me-he's just amazing! (Once again, I realize how lucky I am!)

David is the apple to my pie, the straw to my berry. The mint to my chocolate, the kettle to my corn. The love of my life and the happy to my ending.  

There's a song that my good friend Emily loves- "Perfect Two," and thanks to this song, I started making up my own version and sing it to David!]    David always motivates me to become a better person. He says I do the same.  Yes, we fight. Yes, we are different but that's what makes it even better. Because we learn to accommodate and appreciate.

 Anyhow, David and I are doing fine now. David took off half the day from yesterday to rest and I took today off. I think we're almost back to normal, thank goodness. Hate being sick!!  Bundle up, drink lots of fluids, and rest-both of our mommys' advice. And boy, am I glad I listened to them. I thought I was somewhat young enough to let my body reach its limits and never rest, eat whatever I want but nonononono!

Since I had the day off, I made dinner! This is something I have not been able to do the past few days thanks to the dumb cold I had and the long hours at work.. I decided to make some American f00d! Thanks to my dear friend Rachel, I made chicken pot pie. (Well, kind of. I use cornbread, gravy, veggies, and chicken to make my own version). So, cornbread-chicken-veggie mix with a tossed salad was our dinner. Hopefully, I'll cook more from tomorrow. Now, time to snack and watch Once Upon A Time. We are addicted to this show!!

Three months

Davaid and I have been married for three months as of today! Is it good or bad it we both feel "married life" has been much longer than three months? To celebrate our anniversary, we decided to ... FAST and boy, was it a challenge! Seriously, we've been zombies the entire day. My eyes have been heavy and sticky with sleep. What do we need to do in order to feel less sleepy and less hungry during Fast Sundays?

There have been some changes in the past week. I said good bye to the Preschool on the 30th of this month. I took a day off on Halloween and on November 1st, walked into Goldman Sachs to start my new job in IT. Yeah, I know. Don't ask me why or how but I somehow did get the job. We'll see how long it lasts. For now,  I am so grateful for my language skills that never fail me in the job market.

David is doing well. He has been accepted to three Medical Schools so far and we're still waiting to hear back from the rest. Fingers crossed! We were so lucky to have David fly out to many different schools. We have been so blessed to hear back from them. I know that the Lord has been a part of this wonderful process.

My handsome hubby.
