He also works everyday from sun up to sun down, sometimes on weekends just to pay bills.
He washes dishes.
He does his laundry.
And cooks better than any chef in any restaurant.

He bathed me and rubbed my feet when I was pregnant.
He changed the very first baby diaper EVER in the hospital like a champ… on no sleep.
He took on the role of mom and dad, housewife and business owner, for the last 4 weeks of my father’s life, with no complaints whatsoever, just so I wouldn’t have to miss a moment.

On December 8, 2019, we will celebrate our 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY 💍

And it has not come without a fight

We have faced pride. AND OVERCAME IT.

We have faced losing our faith. AND OVERCAME IT.

We have faced nonstop fighting, cursing, & unhealthy communication. AND OVERCAME IT.

We have faced jealousy. AND OVERCAME IT.

We have faced dishonesty and mistrust. AND OVERCAME IT.

We have faced depression. AND OVERCAME IT.

We have faced our differences. AND OVERCAME THEM.

We have faced addictions. AND OVERCAME THEM.

We have faced separation. At least 3 times. AND OVERCAME IT.

We have faced divorce. Literally in front of a lawyer. AND OVERCAME IT.

We have faced bankruptcy. AND GOT THROUGH IT!

Maybe one day, when we are fully on the other side of our battle, I will share the wonderfully messy details of how we got here. But for now, it’s time to finally rest. To celebrate beating the odds and fighting for one another. To celebrate making it to five years when I thought we wouldn’t make it to one. To celebrate just how much our Heavenly Poppa TRULY loves us.

SO… I FINALLY DID IT! I SURPRISED MY HUNK WITH A 7-DAY CRUISE TO THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN NEXT MONTH FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY! MEXICO, BELIZE & HONDURAS, HERE WE COME

🩱👓👒🌴🌊 ☀️🐳🐸🐒🦋🐠🦀🍍🥥

You have no idea…

There has never been enough money.
There has never been time that we could sacrifice to get away.

NOT SINCE OUR HONEYMOON. Until now. 😭😭😭

Thank you to all of you who have known our story, walked out our journey and prayed for us. After 2 babies, a broken marriage, financial hardships and my dad’s death, it still feels surreal that we will actually be OK to get away for a week (Boris is still a bit nervous so make sure you tell him this is a GOOD thing for him and for our marriage) hehe. He’s so use to working non-stop that a break almost seems irresponsible. But alas… it is booked and there is no turning back.

Stay tuned for photos and videos from these two lovebirds! We hope this encourages you to NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER LOSE HOPE and as long as both people work hard to stay together, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

Love and healing to you all
