Deciding to get Married
I had thought about actually making this decision and seemed to have
been made for us. She told me how much she loved me and how she was not
scared of having me in her life. But the strangest thing was that everywhere
we went that day we kept getting told how good we look together and how
happy we looked. Especially me! Family was telling Lydia how happy I looked
and that helped her to believe me. It also made me realize it was time
and it was right. I had wanted to make a big event out o fit, but instead
I just asked her right then and there. The gaze in her eyes, the look of
fear of the unknown. This is one of those moments we all will remember
in our life's when we make decision and to see the other persons eyes and
realize what you are about to take the first step of many in your lives
together. Well I won't go into detail but obviously you know the outcome
and now for the rest.
When I told my Mom (Family)
We had gotten together for my birthday at a local restaurant. It was
attended by my brother "Victor", his two sons "Jason", David", my mother
"Olga", my grandmother "Jennie" and ofcourse my fiance "Lydia". It had
been a good meal we talked laughed, my mother made fun of me and we where
about to get up and leave. I had been stalling. but Lydia had been pushing
me to do it "I guess I was nervous". When finally I said, "I have an anounment"
my mother imedately said "I dios", well I said me and Lydia are going to
be married. Everyone was shocked, my grandmother who was sitting next to
me hugged me with a beuatiful smile and said she was happpy for us. My
mother was still in shock, but then joined with everyone else in congradulating
us with hugs and kisses. The reason why I am writing is to most of remember
that look on my mothers face, I wish I had a camera so we can look back
at it years from now and laugh. Gotta love her!
Telling my Dad.
Well I arrange with him and his wife "Magli" a lunch date for us to get
together. Well we wound up going to the Chinese restaurant and my dad just
did not look happy "he's a meat and potato person". So I said suggested we
go to this Peruvian restaurant I had taken them to before. Lydia and Magli
where laughing at the situation because they new what I was going through
(nervous). So everything was good we where half way through a great meal
and my dad looked content. I get this well is it time look from Lydia and
Magli, so I let it out. Not knowing if he would give me a negative or positive
response, I simply stated to him "Dad I have some news for you". He then says
"I hope it is good because the news I always get is bad". Me "I am going to
get married", He then states "To who". I then look at Lydia and (with her
and Magli laughing) well we are looking. He then proceeded to congratulate us
and he stated that it is about time I get married go through what life has to
offer. All and all he looked and was very happy for me, I know this is what
he wanted.
When I asked for her hand from her Father
This will happen soon.....Keep an eye out for the update....
When we met!
I was taking care of a friends house while the went on vacation, when
a couple of buddies from work and I decided to hang out at the house and
go have some drinks. At the time I had set my mind not to have anyone in
my life and concentrate on my business. Well when we walked into the club
that we frequently visited I walked late after the other guys as I walked
toward where they where already sitting I saw her. I could believe it
she caught my eye and I had obviously caught hers. After
having a beer and drinking enough never I was about to approach her when
would you know it she was standing right next to me. She asked my name
and we sat and talked. After that moment it seems like we have not been
apart from talking to each other everyday to living together. It has not
been an easy road bought it defiantly has been a road worth taking and
glad that I have.
When I gave her Prizm

Prizm is our child (Cat). Lydia's birthday was coming up and I was trying
to think what can I give her that would be special and meaningful. Well
it came to me when she mentioned how much she misses the cat she use to
have. Well here I went, I looked up in the recycler for kittens and I happen
to find this breeder of Siamese who had two kittens left. I immediately shot
on over to get one. After I picked him I went and bought all the goodies
for him. She was at work and I left her a message to come over to my place
after she got out. I took Prizm and placed him in a gift bag when he finally
got sleepy. It was perfect! I met her at her car when she pulled up, I
had the bag in my hand. She asked is that for me, I said yes it is your
Birthday gift She opened it and out popped his little kitten face and she
screamed in joy! And know he bugs us everyday, when I wake up when I come
home when he's hungry! when he wants to play! His nick name is "Spoiled
Kitty".
