quattro anni = apat na taon

     It was april 19th when I took my flight from Osaka International Airport to Rome International Airport. It was my first flight via Alitalia, and I will never fly with that airline again. Their service is so bad, big time.

     It was my leap of faith... I was about to get married and I was flying in my scariest plane ride ever, no joke intended. There were ashes in the air, a certain volcano in Iceland was fuming lava... It caused flight delays here and there, God knows how scared I was... but still I flew across miles and I got married.

     The 24th day of April, It was 2010. It was a sunny day. I was wearing new dress, really pretty dress in its ivory color. I was feeling like the most beautiful lady that day. At least I hope I was in the eyes of my then future husband. I was able to put into use the make up that i had been buying in Japan during sale season. Hahahaha finally, I can put on make up with a good purpose: I am getting married.

     I was born in 1973, my husband is just 15 days older than me. Had we been born in the same country and the same city, we could have been great friends and lovers. Too bad we met too late, but anyhow, we have a family now. We are blessed with our healthy son we named from my mother and my husband's grandfather. We call him Nicholas Luigi. We believe in Santa Claus and we are happy to name him like our favorite saint... Saint Nicholas

     Today, we celebrate our 4 years of togetherness while we are apart. yes I am in his parents house with my son; he is in our house, an hour and half hour flight from here. Oh dear! I don't know if that's a good sign. I got fresh flowers though, delivered right here with a note that says he loves me and sorry to be away. hahahaha I love it when I get surprises. Thank you for the flowers, Amore!

           There are many number fours...
We hope to get luckier and happier. We hope to have more blessings and more real friends. We hope to be healthier and much more in love with each other. We hope to celebrate more four years ahead. We hope to be richer in faith as we travel this journey of married life...

            It is not always an easy road, but it is really interesting journey every single day. Thank you for conspiring with us. Thank you for making us enjoy each other and share our life together.

            FOREVER we will be in love, not just for FOUR years!
