Because I'm a cheap Asian, I attempted to score a free Starbucks large iced coffee downstairs off of an expired coupon. Mission Accomplished! Furthermore, I drank as much of it as possible to try to finish it and cash in on the $1 refill policy. Unfortunately, my bladder wasn't up to par with my cheapology... but I still made my people proud. Haha. Anyway, I ordered the iced coffee the same way Joya always orders it - unsweetened with lots of room for cream. And like her, I added the three Splendas, the half-and-half, and then mixed well. The weird part is that even after years of preparing the coffee in the same EXACT way that she makes it, it seems to never taste as good as when my baby Joya serves it up. Technically speaking, it's mas o menos the same thing. Beyond that (unless she adds drops of love potion #9) the only difference I can think of is the human element....meaning when Joya makes my coffee, it (seemingly) tastes better because my heart knows that it's made by my most favorite person in the whole wide world. I wonder if I would even notice if she served me mud and said that it be some OG Columbian bomb shiznit, yo. Maybe, maybe not...but in no other area of my life am I as emotionally sentimental with my baby Joya as I am with my coffee. Anyway, can't wait to watch some more Bridezillas tonight and have some more of my favorite chocolate - Almond Joy!
Joya got her teeth whitened yesterday at the dentist...as if she needed to improve her smile. I think that's just flat out cruel - she should be jailed for looking so good! She's never had braces or any major dental work done and yet her teeth are pretty darn perfect. Her smile has always been photogenic but now if the photographers use a flash, all the pictures will be over-exposed and ruined from all the reflective bright lights! =( As the great philospher, Jerry Springer, once said, "Oh the burdens in life." So in some ways, I know it's poetic justice that she's experiencing some mean teeth sensitivity after the procedure - gives us normal folk some sense of justice in this world! Yay for uggers!!! =)
Today marks three months of being married to my bestest friend in the whole wide world. She is my deepest love and my greatest blessing from God. She is every beat of my heart. She is my wife. =)
I get this feeling deep down that she was the reason that I was placed here on Earth - so that I can lead her, protect her, serve her, and to love her for the rest of my life. Our relationship is almost five years in the making and is the best thing that I have ever been a part of in this world. Nothing else comes close and nothing else gives me more joy than to love my baby Joya. She is everything that matters in my life.
Lord, I pray that you continue to bless our relationship in ways that only you can. May you give us wisdom and the desire to keep you the center, and most important part, of our lives and our marriage...and to mold us into the husband and the wife that you would like us to be. Thank you, Father, for blessing us beyond what we deserve. May you continue to have your loving and merciful hand over our friends & families...and above all, our marriage.
