Happy Anniversary, Thuy and Chi!

On July 25, Thuy and Chi will celebrate their first wedding anniversary. Their wedding was pure joy ... every minute of it. The bringing together of their families was heart-warming and I will always remember the vows that Thuy and Chi spoke; they were promises to each other of course ... but were also filled with gratitude, joy, and unending devotion to their families.

I asked Thuy to catch us up on their first year together. Here's her update!

"It was great hearing from you, Randy, and thank you for thinking of us!  Chi and I are also very thankful and blessed to have had you as our wedding officiant!  

The past year has been absolutely wonderful. We're continuing to learn so much from each other and about each other daily - keeping this journey fun and exciting. Aside from my parents' unconditional love, nothing compares to the feeling of a full fuzzy heart knowing that there is this one guy who cares for me so deeply day in and day out.  

Almost once a week, Chi would ask me in his pretend childish voice and confused looking face, 'why are we married?' I jokingly answer, 'because you can't live without me" and his eyebrows would raise so high I could hear them saying 'Ha! Sureeee...'  Of course we've had our fair share of disagreements and arguments, but at the end of the day, my answers to his 'why are we married?' question always win over any silly fight we've picked. 

Over the past year, we've got the chance to visit Brazil, Canada, Orlando, Seattle, Chattanooga, Chicago, D.C, and took many smaller and closer weekend trips. The construction of our townhouse in Cary was completed February of this year and we're now well settled into our new home. As we moved into the house, Chi also started a new job and seems to be liking it quite well.  

Despite the language and cultural barriers that our families shared, both of our families worked together and showed us so much love and support the past year. What a blessing!

I can truly go on and on, but will spare you and Chi the mushiness. To sum it up, my life is full and meaningful thanks to Chi Wang Yiu!

Have a wonderful 4th of July!!"
