(Vy and I at Changdeokgung Palace in South Korea)
Well, just recently Vy and I
celebrated our three year anniversary. The past few years have gone by so fast
but then again looking back, we’ve done so much. I love looking back at life
through different times and seeing what was going on then and what changed. I
think back before moving to Washington where I was struggling in Florida when I
moved with my Uncle out back to Tucson. I love and miss the adventure out there
and seeing ghost towns and historic areas but I made a change. I had met
someone and she lived up in Washington and long story short, after a short
time, I decided to take the chance of a lifetime to move states apart to the
Pacific Northwest to a place I’ve never lived before. It was a challenge and I
was very nervous – especially moving up here without a job. I remember the
worries some people had about my move but I’m glad things have worked out. Things
started falling in place when I got a job interview driving up to Washington
and eventually got the job with Kellogg’s. Since then, Vy and I had gotten
married and moved to our first apartment. The apartment was an old rundown apartment but we never had any problems the year we
lived there. We’ve since moved to a different apartment for a year and a half
and have recently gotten our first house a couple of months ago. It’s amazing
the past three years thinking of the room I lived in for a little bit to us
getting our own house and making it this far. It’s been quite the process but
it’s nice to actually settle for the first time in a long time and have a place
to call home. In the past few years, we’ve also gotten two new cars and traveled to
different areas of the world. Besides Mexico and the Bahamas, I had never
traveled outside of the country but the past three years, Vy and I have gone to
Vietnam twice, Japan, South Korea, and even Canada. I love being able to travel
and see many sights with Vy and even met her family in Vietnam and had fun
getting to know all of them and learning many new cultures. I've learned so many things and tried foods I never thought I would try and some I liked but a lot I didn't. I liked shrimp head in Vietnam but not eel in Japan. There were many new foods, fruits and drinks and even got food poisoning twice from abroad. We’ve been on
numerous hikes, road trips, and have created many memories. I can only hope our
life together continues to be as fun and I can’t wait to see what comes up. I’ve
had a new job since first coming up here and we’ll see what waits on the
horizon for something new. I just look forward to new memories with Vy and
enjoy every moment together. Happy Three Years to Vy and I look forward to every day with you!
