Memory Lane: Old Town San Diego

Today, while taking a break from making phone call after phone call, I decided to go through some of our old photos. I honestly don't know what has gotten into me, I just wanted to look at them again, and reminisce. That's when I came up with this "Memory Lane" idea. I'm thinking of doing this every Monday on this blog. But this week, I'll start today. What I'll do is, I'll go through our old photos, post some here, and share a little bit of the story behind each of them. Isn't it good to have those memories to look back on, and smile about?

I'm all about time-traveling. And my time machine? Photos.

taken on June 14, 2009

For my first Memory Lane photo, I chose our first photo together here in the US. This was taken in Old Town San Diego when my husband took me there. I was already 7 months pregnant with our oldest in this photo. He took me out to show me around San Diego because at the time, I just got here. It was a good way for me to walk around as well, and I had a great time! We also ate at a Mexican Restaurant there, and after that, we went to a candy store and we bought a lot of candies! Of course, I didn't get to eat as much as I wanted to, because he didn't allow me. For the whole time I've been pregnant with our 3 kids, he was a "sugar-nazi". I couldn't eat sweets every time he was around. The only times I was able to really eat whatever I want, when he was at work. But, whenever I had cravings, he went and bought them for me. I was into cakes and cupcakes, and anything sweet, so I baked a lot while pregnant.

Anyway, when I look at this photo, I cannot help but compare how easy it was then for us to go to places because we didn't have babies yet. I remember, my husband would take me out for a drive every time he'd come home early from work. He would send me a message ahead of time, so I can have enough time to get ready before he'd get home. Those were the times when we were still able to go out on "dates". Now, I cannot even remember how a movie theater looks like anymore! Seriously. It's been that long. I miss our bonding moments, just the two of us. And, I think it won't be anytime soon that we'll get to do those things again.

I just miss "us", that's all! =(

Tingting Rimart said...: I am tempted to post an old pic of me and my hubby. Yes, indeed...old photos as nostalgic.; February 1, 2013 at 10:03 PM
Ria C said...: It's nice to reminisce especially when it was just the two of you. Like you said, it was easier to go around then without little ones in tow.

I used to feel trapped before when my daughter was just growing up. And I am a wanderlust so I have to keep moving and going out of towns. I had to lie-low for a while with my travels until she was old enough to understand why we travel a lot.

She's all grown-up now and enjoys going to different places too. Soon, you'll be travelling with your elder kids without a worry. Trust me, few more years:); February 2, 2013 at 1:44 AM
papaleng said...: You know what, each time na frustrations come in to our relationship, I can't help it but to browse on old photos. Kaka-relax and come in as inspiration.; February 2, 2013 at 10:05 AM
Rcel said...: I am like you! The photos I have, the old ones mainly, are my machine to travel back in time. It's always fun every time!

Kids indeed can sometimes stop us from going anywhere we want to. But I won't trade motherhood to all those trips still! Lol. Since we got kids, NEVER na kami ni hubby nakapag-date na kami lang dalawa. We always have our little boss(es) with us. Paano kasi, walang maiiwanan dito! :D; February 3, 2013 at 2:40 AM
Marriage and Beyond said...: Awww... you guys should make sure you still have time together. A date night a month. It is so easy to drift apart when we don't connect with our respective spouses.; February 3, 2013 at 10:12 AM
RonSilvoza.com said...: it's nice to reminisce sweet beginnings.... you two look great together talaga po..
