A quote of love for mine.

They do not love that do not show their love.
William Shakespeare

I love Zack!

I am a proud proud wife

It is now posted on his blog, mine and now it is going to be posted here. Zack is the most fun person I know. He is a kid just like me. You will always find us jumping when ever we stop for pictures. My first picture ever with him was a jumper and on our most special days ever we were jumping. We will always have muscles in our legs cause we will never stop jumping. hehe

Enough said...
He entered a Facebook photo contest and his jumper
WON!!!
The prize: 1 ticket to Australia!!!
That means we are going to one of our much dreamed of locations. I hope it takes us to that yet another much dreamed of location, New Zealand. I will not complain if it is just the former. I am stoked and so proud of Zack!

Australia, here we come!

Happy Mother's Day Aniversary

This is the day Zack proposed. He did such a good job. He had given an excellent talk in sacrament meeting and has the engagement ring in his bag the whole time. We walked hand in hand through the park and Zack told me many, many reasons why he loved me. It was such a perfect Sunday. The day was gorgeous, the grass was green. I was really happy. Then he popped the question and I was NOT prepared. I said "oh my gosh!" at least 50/minute. I couldn't believe the journey to this moment. I just couldn't believe he was asking ME. I knew he was perfect for me, but he actually thought and felt I was PERFECT FOR HIM! We are so very much alike in the best ways and we are the best friends. I love that we can talk openly about everything. I love that we will drop anything when the other needs the time/attention. I love the communication we have in all aspects. We are so in love. This we mutually feel and work towards. I love Zack, he loves me. That is why he asked me to marry him. That is why we got married.

I love you ZRT!

A week of dates

We had many dates this week. Maybe I call it that because we were out many nights this week, which is not the norm. We walked a lot of the streets of the City. We went to a Hockey game. We went to a fashion show, Zack was actually in it. We were a part of the Kiehl's re-launch of their flagship store that has been there since 1851. We went shopping in and around Soho. We had 2 memorable lunch dates. We talked, laughed and loved so much.

We are the best of friends, truly. We always want to be around each other. We always want to do everything with each other. It is awesome how it works out that we, both being very independent individuals, would find such dependence in each other. It is the best outcome in the world. So glad we found each other. So glad we are a Manhattan Single's ward success story!

Happy 8 months and 17 days, my love!

I love this image.

One day........

Just look at us. We look like parents!!! So cute.
(I wish it were that easy to have a baby.)

The half aniversary: LOVE

I love Zack! I am so happy I found you. Now we can look forward to life together. We have become best best friends. It has been over 6 months since that lovely warm day in Denver when I made a sacred covenant to love, cherish, serve you, my dear love. It is the best way to live, married and married by a solemn vow. I hope I appreciate this love all my life as much as I do now. Life has been nothing but great and exciting. Love and happy is all I feel. I married someone who listens better than I ever thought possible and loves better and more deeply than I ever thought I could experience. You are my hero, someone I greatly respect and want to be like. You inspire me to no end. Zack you are a genuine man with a heart of a thousand golden hearts of love. I am continually amazed by you.

I love you, Zack and I know that is not the question here, but it is the point I am trying to make. I love you, and I am happy that 6 months ago we were married. This is the best life I could ever dream of. I could never have dreamed of a life or a man this wonderful. I LOVE love and I love YOU!

Happy 6 months my dear Lover Boi!

An aniversary for us

We started our dating this day last year. It happened after a weekend apart and together, after a walk with my nieces, after lots of laughing and pictures, after lots of talking and 3 hours of travel, it was clear that we both really liked each other and that we should start dating. I knew it was going to be great and, well, here we are, I am his wife and he is my husband. I love my new family. God truly knows what we need and I know He did hear every time I thought of a quality I really didn't want or had to have please please please. I am so blessed. Zack is such a good husband. He is so good at being a husband, you'd think he'd mastered it somewhere earlier. He just claims he is just loving me. Well, I am grateful that I can bring that outstanding, perfectness, in him and I am SO grateful that I have my dream best friend, husband. Life is beautiful indeed.

I LOVE YOU ZACK!

Happy Halloween

Today we are happy. As Zack left for work, we discussed our Halloween night plans. We will dress up of course (I am so glad he dresses up and still has fun for this holiday.) He will be a Princess. I will be a Canadian. If you don't know what word(s) fill in the blank, you'll just have to wait and see. Then we will go see The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D. After of course our ward party. hehe. We wish you all a happy, safe and spooky Halloween!

There are more posts to come. We promise. You can also check out our individual blogs too. Z: www.iamxaque.blogspot.com, L: www.birdouse.blogspot.com

On this day last year...

I was not married to Zack, nor was I even dating him. In fact we were barely friends. Just kidding, we were, but only sometimes on the weekends when we would hang out with a group of us or by our nightly text conversations. But, on this day last year I was with my family in Rhode Island visiting my family. My nieces were happy that it was the day they could wear their outfits and go trick-or-treating. I was so happy because we had just visited Salem, Massachusetts, home of many famous witch trial stories. I was stoked as always about Halloween. I was especially excited to go and hang out with "the boys" at our ward Halloween party that night. So as I boarded the Peter Pan bus to head back to The City, I was excitedly planning my costume for the night.

Later that night I was in serious disguise as a Russian fashion fanatic (I was one of 4 in a fashion team, Jessica was our model) complete with tight black clothes, huge heels, wig and lots of makeup. I was barely recognizable. Zack was a Kissing Booth. I knew many a dumb girl would participate and so I was adament against giving him any sort of kiss (besides I wanted him to kiss me first, helloooo.) When I got there and saw my future husband (I did not think of it in this way... more like of course I want to kiss him, he won't even recognize me) I got right in that booth with him, cause we were friends and I could fit and went for the left cheek. I thought it was pretty awesome that I was the only girl to leave a BIG red kiss mark on his cheek. No big deal. After recognizing me and eating some more singles ward provided treats, we went to a party and just hung out more (we really ditched the party folk and went on the roof. Everyone followed of course. We love NYC rooftops.) Anyway, that is a good little memory. Sorry, dumb girls, I married this kissing booth. He chose ME.

I love Zack!
