One of my brothers got married today back in Colorado.  We didn't make it back for the wedding; we couldn't afford the airplane tickets.  Shit, we couldn't even afford one ticket.So we have come to the first down-side of living overseas -- missing the big family events back home.  ...  read more

Susie and Matt Zimmerman were married today in Jonesville, MI. Beautiful day with big looming storm clouds at some moments and heat lighting at others. It was great to see friends I hadn't seen in a very long time.

A few months before my husband (then fiancé) and I were to be married, I got myself into some serious trouble.  I had started a new job, and totally loved it.  But I’d had a cold for a little while, and began to notice how cold the air conditioning seemed.  I thought n...  read more

After few months of preparation, Chye Ee and I are finally declared as husband & wife

We all had a great time at the cookout / wedding rehearsal (really more of an overview) that took place at Ted & Liz Freemantle's home. My parents and grampa arrived (right on time), though my grandma wasn't able to attend due to slight illness.  She figured that it was better to miss...  read more
