Here's the last family shot we took together. This was in Quezon City, Philippines. christmas 2018.
My wife and I met online and chatted for about a year before I few over to Philippines to meet her. We were married just 3 months later in June 2003.
Ysa graced us with her presence in 2005. This collage is mostly of us living in California. The pic in the oval is of her baptism just before we left the Philippines.
The is when we visited Bohol, another island of Philippines where my wife's dad lives. Ysa is 2 1/2 yrs older that Alex who was born 2008.
We'll see Alex and Jasmine soon!
Had to share this with my hive fam.. SHOUT IT FROM THE MOUNTAINTOP! After over 2 years apart, my family will finally be together again.
Here's some mood music for u to listen to as u read..
I managed to catch the only and last flight out of manila, Philippines at the start of covid lockdowns back in June/2020. My wife couldn't fly out with me since she was not a USA citizen. She stayed in Philippines with our son and applied for a visa right after I few out. Our daughter Ysa was already here in hawaii going to school. (she was staying with my dad, but her silliness was too much for him and so I had to come rescue him :P)
The whole visa process was super slow, but yay! They (my wife and son) got on a plane and will be here tomorrow. I am so excited I don't mind cleaning the house before they come! :P
