Boston, the wanna be NYC

this past christmas break, long and i were able to visit his momma and brothers.
we arrived on christmas day and when i heard the news that his mom would not be home til the next day
... i was not too happy...

but when she came HOME we enjoyed eating pho, pho, pho, vermacelli, and pho
did i mention we ate pho?
everyone's dream

i wanted to make sure long spent as much time as he could with his mom esp since we weren't really sure where we would be the next year since long would be graduating

long was so sneaky planning many events out in boston

he took me to the Nutcracker

a crazy insane rich restaurant at "Top of the Hub" where you take an elevator to the highest part of the building and pay $100 for a meal. we celebrated our 1 year of being engaged? didn't matter, we just wanted to celebrate. i won't even begin to tell you how amateur we looked but we loved playing the part :)

 1year ago. before i knew what i was getting myself into :) haha i love my longie!

still happy a year later!

walked around china town (but all the chinese were sleeping)

we even spent time with the bro hungyy. we mostly just made long make us pho, baked browines, and drank boba.

but the most special part of the whole thing was new years eve. long wanted to take me out and see the sculptures in the city, eat dinner and count down
but i knew the one thing that would the most special to him would to stay home and be with his mom

so hung and i (oh yah and long) walked to a store, bought birthday streamers, balloons, frozen pizza, fries
came home decorated heated up the food and got dressed up
momma xit thought we were cray cray but she joined the fun

and i can't even tell you how happy we made her heart

i guess when it was time to leave, she couldn't stand to look at the balloons any longer :(
all i can say is, i am so happy to have married a man with such a wonderful mother who loves me even though i can't speak a lick of vietnamese other than pho.

we had so much fun and can't wait to make more memories and share our asian babies with the nguyen side!
