The Mag Fam

on my 37th birthday, my dearest cousin gave me the honor of becoming his ninang. As I get older its abundantly clear that family is everything. for this birthday I was reminded of the childhood I was blessed to have with all of my cousins. This past birthday will be one I always cherish. Thank you and for saying 'I do' on my birthday. we love you forever.

3.11.26: we wouldn't be us if we didn't have an impromptu photoshoot in our backyard between appointments on our wedding anniversary.

TEN YEARS. To The day our lives together officially began. The absolute best day of our lives. Here is the video we had playing during the reception during this moment. We had recorded and edited it just days before so that we could just live in this 'first dance' moment without worrying about live dance steps. considering what would happen to me in 2020, I am so grateful we did. 🙏🏻

#2016: my bride era and 'accidentally on purpose' first weeks of pregnancy while honeymooning to the Bahamas and it was truly for me. Because it lead me to completing our family after surviving stroke at 31 and putting us into my dream forever home despite disability.

26 birthdays with you and forever still won't be enough;
I know how lucky I am to have met the love of my life at such a young age. Truly God-given made perfect for me. You were the first boy to make me feel seen through my ugly duckling phase. you made sure to let me know you were thinking of me (handwritten notes, emails that I still have on my bedside) now). When we were kids, the song playing in my head was "Wouldn't it be nice by the beach boys; well, here we are... older. You were the one crying for me at my HS and then college graduations (long story lol) then at the end of the aisle Happy birthday to the boy who has my heart always and forever 🤍

2025 is officially the year our little family makes it to game; this time for Filipino heritage night vs. the Spurs. .mag1unog and I have been attending games since we were teens. We are grateful we got to see some friends there and also enjoy some Filipino food pre-game; We had such a good time that at bedtime, Keluna thanked me for, 'the best night of my life!' 🥹 💜🧡
