Day 8: a very special day

Today was my love's birthday. It's the first time we get to spend it together. We've been together for 10 months and I hope it will go on until we are old and wrinkly :) (kinda cheesy, i know xD)

Before meeting him for lunch I was frantically deciding what to wear because we will have dinner later with his family.

The happy birthday card was made of cardboard and the paper from our sky lantern that got wet..hahaha..I didn't want to just throw it away, so I found a way to recycle the paper by twining it.

He couldn't wait to blow out his candles. But actually the cake didn't have candles and he just did this for the pictures. haha :)

This cake was absolutely scrumptious :) It had mango toppings that had a contrasting taste with the butter frosting.

A photo of his family. It was also his parents' wedding anniversary.

Before we went to the restaurant, I came with their family to attend mass. Indeed today was a very special today because I got to spend time with his family and there were a lot of reasons to celebrate. I am really happy and thankful for this day and I just hope more of these opportunities will come along in my life.
