The Key of Life


On Friday, August 23, 2008, ZMW brought me and AFJ to a lovely downtown Ann Arbor Hibachi Restaurant for Anna’s first time. We strolled around downtown, visited the bookstore, had a cup of coffee and counted our blessings for how happy we have been this year and how close we have become as a family unit. We were thankful for our time with extended family, for our health and prosperity. When we arrived at home, still ‘high’ from yet another wonderful summer evening and sipping an ice cold bottle of Beck’s Beer (hahahaha), ZMW got down on one knee and proposed with a gorgeous diamond ring!

In the morning, he proposed again in front of AFJ after which time she asked, “Where’s MY ring?!?” We were so happy to see that she was thrilled at the news and made an immediate request for a bigger family - preferably, a baby sister - Ella (yes, she has the name and gender all picked out - wish us luck).

I never thought I would be so lucky as to find my soul mate and to experience happiness to the degree that I am experiencing it now. It is a surreal feeling to finally wrap your brain around true love, to finally understand certain cheesy lyrics for the first time and to be moved by the everyday feelings of another human being.

The blessings of both sets of parents and family is the icing on top.

Stay tuned for updates :)
