a year later…
Wow…a year of married life has passed so quickly. time flies, when you’re having (and sometimes, not having fun). Its been both a wonderful roller coaster ride, filled with unknown drops, curves, and loops. i realize that despite being together for most our 20s, we haven’t figured each other out completely.
for instance, i just found out that one of Soo’s biggest pet peeves is my constant noisemaking while eating. slurping my hot Korean soups, and proclaiming “aaaahh” after a nice cup of coffee, didn’t sit well with my wife’s appetite, but it took over 8 years (!) to find out it bothered her. talk about having patience!!!
Soo is an amazing woman, and I am lucky to have her as my life partner. I know this because despite all the obstacles that laid in front of us throughout these years, we have been able to hurdle them with the ease of Edwin Moses. God has placed us together, as only He saw fit.
We were fortunate enough to get away for a few days in St. Thomas to celebrate our 1st year anniversary. I took a risk in booking the vaca being that it was hurricane season and what not, but the deal was too good to pass up.
And fortunately for us, the weather held up until the very last day of our trip at 6 pm. WE got to see beautiful beaches and other sites on the island, eat delicious (albeit sometimes expensive) foods, and meet wonderful natives and other travelers.
Meanwhile we got word that the NyC area got hit with some horrid weather (torrential downpours, hurricanes, and such). I guess we all get lucky sometimes…
Its not to say that Soo and I didn’t have our share of disagreements during our trip. its something we’ve grown accustomed to. People’s reactions to our “interactions” are either laughter and joy because they feel like they are watching a live Korean version of the Honeymooners, or of discomfort or concern because they see it as very unhealthy.
and for us, either interpretation is fine. As long as we stick to the 4 Ls rule: Love, Loyality, LOL, and most importantly, Lord, I know we’ll be ok.
Love you babe.
Ecclesiastes 9:9 (New American Standard Bible)
9 Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your (A)fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun; for this is your (B)reward in life and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.
