Surprising Anniversary


On 2/16/2010, we have been married for 5 years. Both of us cannot believe that it's already 5 years. But, we have a proof - our son, who born 1 year after our marriage, is going to be 4 years old. In these 5 years, we have experienced many different things, good and bad, happy and sad. Warren's important relatives passed away and we have seen changes of relationships. Somehow, it is very sad that people do not act like the same and they stopped to pretend to be friendly and nice. No more family gathering, no more talking...instead, there are argument on money, bad-mouthing, no trust. We saw how these happened and we sort of knew why. I hope that it won't happen to our family.

We have arguments, we fought, we cursed, we made up, we forgave, we tried to forget and we learned to love more. I could not know if we could be together until we die but I believe that we would not let our marriage die without trying to rescue. We have seen friends divorced or screwed up and we just learned from their lessons. Hopefully, we would repeat their mistakes.

With the current economy and uncertainty at work, I canceled the Valentine's dinner (I made it a Chinese New Year family dinner). But on our anniversary day, we went out for a dinner without the kids. When I am outside the door of home, Warren told me that he had left something downstairs and I believed that it would be either his phone or mails. Then, I heard that my mom brought the kids downstairs. When I opened the door, my daughter gave me a bunch of red roses which was the stuff that Warren left downstairs. He bought me the red roses. As a tradition, I made it into dry flowers and it would stay in the vase in the house kitchen for one year.

Honey, I love you!
