To this day.. 6/12/12, Tuesday

We are still very happily married. Yes, maybe we had one argument but no couple is ever perfect. Especially if you have kids. Like I dunno.. 6 month and 1 week old TRIPLETS. And expecting boy/girl twins. 

We manage to get through daily with confidentially, happiness, care, love, and respect. 

(Most of my whole family lives in the house and some of Jason's family do)

Our Daily Routines: 

1.) Wake up Jason (6:00am sharp, he goes to work at 7:15am)
2.) Get him ready for work 
3.) Make breakfast & pack lunch & my parents go to work with the food
4.) Call Jason down for breakfast 
5.) Kiss and wave Jason good bye 
6.) Most the adults head to work (some have to stay home and take care of their wee ones, some are retired, and some just graduated University looking for a job) 
7.) Take care of our AMAZING triplets; Andrew Jackson Jones, Alessandra Elisabeth Jones,  and Annalise Rebecca Jones
8.) Chores & Errands 
9.) Come home, make lunch 
10.) Go to the park with the triplets (it it's warm and not raining) 
11.) Pick up my little cousins from school, make sure they complete their H.W., and check their H.W. to make sure it's correct
11.) Chill with the triplets & wait for Jason to come home 


Evening Routines: 

1.) Prepare dinner with the help of my mom, Jason's sisters/cousins, and my sisters/cousins
2.) Jason comes home (4:50-ish pm) 
3.) Greet Jason. (The triplets squeel) 
4.) Have dinner 
5.) Quick chores
6.) Short family hang out 
7.) Get ready for bed 

Bed time routines: 
We have three bathrooms. (One downstairs, upstairs, and attic) plus some bedroom bathrooms

1.) The little ones are first to take a bath 
2.) The elders are next to take a bath (including our parents, aunts/uncles, and grandmas/grandpas)
3.) The cousins are next 
4.) Then the niece and nephews  


The wee ones are in bed by 8:30pm. 
The kids who have school the next day are in bed by 9:00pm. 
The rest of us are in bed by 9:30pm or 10:00pm. 



Weekends:
The wee ones are in bed by 9:00pm. 
The kids are in bed by 10:00pm/ 11:00pm.
We're in bed by 11:30pm or sometimes even, 12:00am.

Yes, we sometimes take longer to settle in, but somehow we make it all work. 

We love each and one of us with all our mighty ol' heart and nothing would ever change that.  

How Jason and I met

It started since high school. We were set as partners in a science research project and I had a secret crush with him. I was extatected when I learned I was his partner. I was going to make my best move on him.

As we got to know each other better, we fell more and more in love and knew we were meant for each other. After we got an "A" on the science research project, Jason asked me out and I knew he was fit for me. That he was going to be accepted by my family. We're both Catholic. Our favorite subject was math. He was a math & science genius and so was I. We were interested in the same things. He was charming, smart, had the looks, and even had the manners. He even attended church EVERY Sunday. Never missed one. I knew he wasn't going to use me. His friends were all respectful. Basket ball players. And so was he. I had to take a deep moment to think of what my mother would say.
"Yeah, I would love too, Jason!", I finally replied.
We had a quick hug of one second romantic (sorta..)

The bell rang. School was out. Summer was here. "Bye, Jason", I told him as I gave him my number. "Call me maybe." As I quickly glanced back, I saw a small smile appear on his face and I couldn't help but smile, also.

We were dating for four years  now. Never had an argument. Graduated high school. We had attended & graduated  Harvard University. Had a job. Jason was an architect and I was a business/designer woman at the time.

Jason and I was 23, and we dated since we were 18. "Maybe now would be the time to get engaged?", Jason was probably thinking.

Because later that evening, July 14 2008, my 23rd birthday, he called me over to the beach. We hung out, had romantic conversations, then all the sudden, he began his speech, kneeled down, took out the ring box, and said, "Will you marry me; Elanise Eliah Ulrich?" I didn't have to think. I knew this decision would make both myself and my parents would be extremely happy, but more importantly me. "Yesss!! I will marry you, Jason Alan Jones!" And we swung around, kissing.

On April 2011, we had the most beautiful wedding ever. We never had an argument. We were love birds as ever. We had no words to describe our love, passion, and care. We were meant for each other. Don't take my word. But Jason's, my/his family, also. They would always stare at us when we came to visit. "You guys are truly meant for each other.",they would say.

On March 12, 2011; my little cousin, Damon's 8th birthday, we found out that we were expecting.
