Topic No. 1: Life After the Wedding - the Married Life.
What are the things you want them to know about life after the wedding?

When I got married, my mother had a very long speech. She spoke so fast for fear of water works that it was hard to understand what she was saying half the time. But the one thing that stayed with me is this: “Marriage is not a bed of roses”

I know before I got married that marriage life has ups and downs. But I had no idea how hard it could be. There are shouting matches, cold treatments, and resentment in every actions and words. And that was when we didn’t have a kid. Now, it’s so much harder because there’s just no time to talk about what happened. We had to kiss and make up quickly for our daughter’s sake that we always fail to find a solution to our problem.

So here’s what I’m going to tell Sandy:

You enter marriage not because all your friends are married and you’re sick of being alone but because you’ve found a person you cannot live without. Since you can’t imagine your life without him, you need to accept all his habits, his fears and weaknesses, his dreams no matter how far fetched they are. Remember your vows everyday - for better or worst, for richer or for pooer, in sickness and in health. It’s a cliché but this is true: “ang pagaasawa ay hindi parang kaning isinubo”. This is why marriage is hard work. Romance fades, even love. It’s a two-man team and both of you should do your best, as if your lives depend on it, to make it work.

Trust me when I say that there will be moments when you just want to be out. But as long as he’s not hurting you and your kids (physically and emotionally), you need to be strong and work with your husband to resolve your differences. Always put yourself in his shoes. Why is he acting this way? Was it something about you or could it be that it’s just who he is? Remember that even though marriage united you as one, you’re still two different people who have different views, dispositions, ways of expressing love and emotion. Find a balance too between being a part of a married couple and being your old self. When the other half is growing up (career, money, hobbies, etc), the other one should be too or else she/he would feel left out. This is where resentment and unhappiness enter the picture.

Be loyal to your spouse. You may find someone else better, stronger, etc. and even if you tell him so (which I suggest you don’t), at the end of the day, you’re still a team and he depends on you to believe in him (and vice versa). Never air out your dirty laundry with the opposite sex no matter how close you are with them. Telling your friends is one thing, but to pour out your heart to a male friend might be taken the wrong way. Communicate with your husband instead, that’s what marriage is for. No matter how hard you fight or whatever conflicts you may have, it should always be you and him against the world.

My internet connection was down last weekend so I scrapped instead.

The Canyon offers personalized drug rehab treatments because they believe that just because a program worked for one client doesn’t mean it will work on the next one. We are all different people and our needs and requirements vary. This establishment applies the best practices for dual diagnosis drug and alcohol treatment to ensure that you or your loved one will get top level care and treatment. Their website lets you contact any personnel easily through online chat or phone call. Whether you have a question on addiction medicine, drug use trends, alcohol abuse programs or just simply need someone to talk to, don’t hesitate to contact them. You can lose everything through substance abuse or any kind of addiction so don’t wait for things to go down before you seek help. Visit the site / send it to a friend to learn how they can get better.

I’ve always wanted to design papers (and soon elements!) ever since I discovered digital scrapping but can’t really find the right time. The reason I’m starting now is because I am so inspired by Jacq’s work. You can see her wonderful layouts and beautiful kits here.

Based on the information from the tracking key, that’s when investigators believe Ford chased Somers down the road in his truck and intentionally ran her over around 3:00 am.

So there you go. A crime solved with the help of technology. The GPS Tracking key is very small and can be placed anywhere in the vehicle, even under if the car is locked. It can store up to a month’s worth of data which includes the number of stops the driver made, the times and places he/she visited, and driving speed per second. These types of data were recorded using an internal computer that accurately determines the location of the device within 2.5 meters. It is also compatible with Google Earth and water-resistant so you don’t have to worry about it being damaged when splashed with water.

As useful as it is, you can not use the device that might violate the privacy right of others.
