First Home Together

Oh sweet daughter
and oh yes, you too
sweet son in law to be
one day...(right? right)

this is an exciting day
you moved into your very
own place together
and now the fun begins

There will be moments
when you find that you 
just a moment or two
of "space" from one another
and so you must learn
not to take it too personal
sharing a place is wonderful
but you still want to maintain
your "individuality"
also, a little bit of time 
not spent together 
will make the time you do spend
even better

you dont have to wonder
far away, just into another room
or take a walk outside
and when you do think about
the two of you
of all you have been through
and of your future dreams
and plans
when the moon is full
gaze upon it and make wishes together
always remember
to support one another
count on eachother
respect, honor, cherish
all important to hold onto
especially when the days may be hectic
when you may be short on cash
or one of you left an empty milkcarton 
in the fridge or you lose your keys
or forgot to do some necessary "household" chore
When life gets hectic
and yes, it will, even in "la la perfect land"
just breathe, just pray , thank God for all your blessings
especially the blessing of LOVE
which is the foundation most important
and that turns a place to live
into a place you both think of as "HOME"

Enjoy this brand new adventure
laugh at all the little things
like the table you make out of  an  ironing board, lowered
just enough for the two of you to sit side by side
or the pillows you place in your living room
which you will call "the couch"
the book shelves that perhaps are pieces of wood
on top of a few cement blocks...you can paint them rainbow
or decorate them with beads and things...you will use your 
imaginations and you will make somethings out of nothings 
and they will be awesome to you,not because they are perfect
or expensive things from some department store, but because
each thing,every thing,will be yours...yours together.

so, do some dancing
do some singing
eat some cookies, after the top ramen dinner
make plans, watch movies, rest in eachothers arms
and oh dont forget, call your mom 

Congrats on your first new home together
may it be blessed with good friends that visit
good memories that you hold close to heart forever
may God send Angels to keep you safe
and may laughter and joy and love be the paintbrush
that you paint your home with.  

Dear Daughter, Dear son in law to be( yes, yes)
I send you best wishes and all my love

BLESSED BE
