I’ve been wanting to make this post for a while and not for any other reason than give a bit of reality to our instagram feed. I post a lot about Ricky and our marriage, and the profound love that we feel for each other. I feel like I oftentimes fail at portraying a reality other than happiness. Let’s be honest, no couple is madly in love and happy with each other 100% of the time. A lot of my friends and/or family comment on my pictures and stories or even in person and congratulate us for having such a great marriage or being so perfect for each other. Someone called us a perfect couple the other day! 😳 I just wanted to scream. Because a lot of our untruthful perceptions and unrealistic expectations come from “reels, and posts, and highlights “. It goes without saying that Ricky and I love each other so so so unbelievably much, and strive to be the best we can be for each other. BUT, right before someone saw us at dinner we might have had an argument in the car or before posting a story of a scrumptious and fancy lunch we had a screaming match-mainly because one of us was hangry. Conveniently enough no one pauses and snaps shots of those moments of our lives as couples when we might not look as dreamy as we do on Instagram. There’s been times in our marriage that I feel like I cannot stand him and I’m sure he feels the same way. But a marriage, or a committed relationship is not built on comments or views or likes. It’s built on the shared notion that you both choose each other no matter what, even when you are not pretty and photogenic, or even very nice. #realcouple

I left my heart in San Francisco

Yosemite National Park did not disappoint 🤩 everyone is probably tired of me saying the same thing about all the pictures during this trip, but the beauty of the parks we’ve visited is hard to put into words. We slept inside the park at Wawona Campground and ate veggie soup for dinner under the stars 🥰✨ There’s no one I’d rather check my bucket list off than with you @rickys21
