Well, to start off 2009, I must say that I am grateful that Emily finally consented to marry me after 11 years of courtship. Not only that she is a competent partner in every way, she is also my best friend and spiritual counterpart.
At least my mother will be happy that finally there is someone to take care of me. Somehow mother always thinks that a son just can not take care of himself.
We just went to the Santa Ana court house, signed and took oath without broadcasting our wedding. Yet our fellow practitioners organized a surprise celebration on 1/1/2008 camouflaged it as a New Year Celebration. Emily and I are deeply grateful.
Additionally, she brought David into our lives. He is so much like me, yet much cool headed and balanced.
