Couple Time - Attending the Wedding (Sep 1, 2018)


Last Saturday, we were invited by our church's friend to witness their marriage sacrament as well as wedding party.
We attended the marriage sacrament in the morning at the church where our marriage sacrament took place 10 years ago. We came with our children.

It was beautiful to witness the sacrament, the marriage vow which at that time we took for granted and by words only. But after 10 years journeying the marriage together, we realized that the vows we made 10 years ago were seem powerful words.

The celebrant father also gave us beautiful homily about marriage. There were three components to build everlasting marriage.
1. The planner : Jesus
2. The worker : Us
3. The materials : Unconditional Love

Sometimes we love to take control the planner's role to head our marriage life which resulted in not so happy ending.
We need to do our role as worker to work on our marriage life according to the planner's.
Because He know what best for us and our marriage.

After that, we left our children at home with my sister and we attended wedding party at one of prominent hotel in the city.
We enjoyed the delicious spread, each other companion and I also had a chance to entertain the bride and groom by joining dancing contest games and I won hahaha...

Story aside, we were so grateful to have each other until now. Witnessing and attending wedding celebration is like reminiscing our memory back to where we began.

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 7)

This is the highlight of Cappadocia which is hot air balloon ride. As it depends a lot on the weather, we were lucky that we could fly to watch sunrise. We were picked up around 5.30am in the morning to Urgup area and arrived 20 mins later. They provided us with light breakfast while they lit up the balloon.  We started riding it around 6.20am and it's so breathtaking to see the Goreme area and hundreds of balloon joining us. The sunrise is around 7am and by 7.30am we already landed safely.  We had champagne celebration and received certificate too and returned back to our hotel for breakfast. Around 10am, we were picked up for Green Valley tour. Stopped by at Goreme Panorama and Pigeon valley for photo spots. After that, we went to Underground city where Anatolian people lived underground to survive from natural disaster and dangers. It's amazing how they build the houses and lived there for a long period of time. Then, we continued our tour to Selime Monastery and Cathedral ...

Reflection

It's been such a long time that I sit down, press a pause button and reflect back what has happened in my life, what things I should be grateful, what are the lesson learnt and what I should improve Things have gone so fast in my life and it's like unending cycle. It's been almost 2 months since I helmed the new project in the company I am working and it took half of my life. I felt like I had a new baby but not "literally baby", it's more responsibility as many lives are on stakes. I had no experience, no mentor and coach, no team per say, only one person who's not hundred percent fully committed in this project and on top of that, the company threw me in the deep sea that  I need to swim and survive. It reminded me back when I started my motherhood journey. With no knowledge, no experience, no mentor, no helpers and little money, we need to nurture the living baby and finally we survived. The first one was always the harder, but after the second and thir...

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 6)

It's time for another dream destination - Cappadocia. After arriving at Athens International Airport, we miscalculated the transit time. We only gave 1.5 hours in between without realising that we needed to change the airline and domestic route so we rushed out and checked in 25 minutes before the flight departed. Thanks God, we were still allowed for checking in. After settling in Turkish airlines, we were provided with warm baguette and drinks which could calm ourselves and our seat was next to emergency door so we got leg room. We arrived at Cappadocia airport which was very small and reminded me on my hometown's airport in the old days. Then we were picked up by airport transfer to our cave hotel - Panoramic cave hotel. The journey to the hotel was amazing, we saw many natural chimneys that we never saw before. Arriving in the hotel, we checked in to our pigeon nest room which was chimney suite and never stop took pictures of the room and the scenery surrounding. In the lat...
