Happy 3 Year Wedding Anniversary (12 years together)

6,307,200 minutes. That's how long we've been together.
Here is a timeline of us:
May, 1991: 14 years old: First time I ever saw Sheila Ponti. After winning our pee wee championship, the girls played their first game. I just remember seeing this tall filipino girl always throwing other girls on the floor.
Fast Forward to 4 years later.
18 years old: Freshman year college. January 95. I remember going to my english 301 class and seeing that same tough girl walking down the stairs, while I was walking up. I would occasionally say hi and smile.
Mid February 95: Sheila calls me to ask about an English assignment. We talk for a couple of hours.
April 24, 1995: Sheils and I turn in an English assignment, first time we held hands. I have never let go since.
Fast Forward to August 2000: We take a 3 week trip to California (LA and San Fran). Sheils leaves after 2.5 weeks. Bennie comes in to San Fran for a couple of days. First time I mention that I want to marry Sheils. noticed it when standing on Twin Peaks in SF. (One of the best views ever).
Fast Forward to Sep 2001: Bennie and I during one of our dinner outings find the ring and start planning the engagement.
December 9, 2001: Pistons vs. Rockets. Me, Sheils, Maria, and Rhands-Hooper (Pistons mascot) gives Sheila a ball in the beginning of the 3rd quarter. It says "you are everything to me, will you marry me" She says yes.
Fast Forward to April 24, 2004: Wedding day. Celebrate with 535 of our closest family and friends. Her walking down the aisle is still one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. And to be married on the exact date we started dating makes this day more special.

12 Years Ago my life changed. I met the person who would show me what it means to love, to be happy. I have spent 40% of my life with you, but gave 100% of my heart. After all of these years, I still look forward to your smile, your touch, your voice, your hug, your kiss. I know I never have to worry as long as i'm with you. I know I will never be sad for the same reason.
You are my past, my present, my future, my sanity, my happiness, my dreams, my hope, my love.
3 Years as your husband gets better and better every day.
I love you baby, Thank you for giving me my life.
I love knowing that i'm spending the rest of that life with you.

Love you always.

Fresh Prince - Jump On It

Went to a wedding last night and this song came on. Me and our friend Patty (small asian girl formerly of Pistons dance team) did this with the serious face and everything. Love this dance!!!!

Is Sheila Pregnant?

Something has become a huge pet peeve of mine recently.

Everytime we run into someone we know, either at a restaurant or a party. They all ask the same question. Is Sheila Pregnant? or...they just flat out rub her belly.
It amazes me that people have the nerve to ask that question, as if it wouldn't come out in conversation.
But it's just an annoying question. So i've come up with responses so that people might not want to hear about it.

First: I responded with We're practicing and we had 2 scrimmages last night. But that stopped when my mom started using it.
Second: Became more blunt and answering with...yeah...we're doing it. Did it alot last night. that way people don't want to ask and feel awkward to ask.
Third: can't...my stuff hurts. hahahahahahah. then nobody wants to hear anything after that.

Sheila, bless her, hears it way more than I do. People even go to the point of rubbing her belly, then looking up and going...Anything yet?

Don't people get that when we're expecting, we will definitely tell people.

Happy Easter!!! Whew!!!!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!!!!!

LENT IS OFFICIALLY OVER!!!!!

It was a hard 4o days. literally.
But I think I will attempt this lenten promise again in the future, but with something else on top of it, like no videogames too. something like that.
Well...nothing much going on in the past few weeks. Work has been kicking my ass. Budget season is in full effect, and it looks like it will be a hellish 2 weeks.

But it is what it is.

Sheila has been drinking coffee, she made sure I was awake when she had her first cup this mroning.
I will be taking her out a little later to get her a Venti Vanilla Latte.
