goodbye 2009, hello 2010

it's been an interesting past year. the boy and i have never lived out on our own and neither of us have ever lived abroad as well. needless to say, the move to the states was both exciting and daunting. looking back however, we wouldn't trade this experience for anything.

we've learnt how to look for an apt to rent, how to do all your household chores yourself, how to take care of ourselves (falling sick in a foreign land is scary), how to live with one another (but tt really has been a breeze, we love living with each other, no issues here at all), how to not compare what we had back home and what we don't have here and most importantly to be responsible for each other.

it hasnt been easy, and there are times where we asked if this was the right decision, but with each day, we find reasons why we shouldnt look back. we were at a place and time where it was time for a change, and what better a drastic change than to move to another continent all together! we're definitely looking forward to another year here with each other. as much as we miss our families and friends back home, this time here is necessary for us individually and together as a couple. we've grown so much, and we've learnt so much - something that i dun think we could have done if we stayed where we were.

we miss everyone back home but we can safely say we dun miss the life we use to have. we like this life here very much. and this is why we know 2010 will be a better year. to everyone we love and miss, we hope to see all of you soon, maybe sometime this year! and here's to another crazy year!
