5 Years On and we have a new house!

Well, Bree says it's just an apartment/flat, not a house.

But it will be our home in Hong Kong. After 2 months of temporary living, we are glad to have a sense of being settled.

We are not on Hong Kong island, but a 30 minute ferry ride away at Discovery Bay. which seems to be a nice blend of the best of Hong Kong with some Western comforts. It might be one of the only times in our lives that we live a 10 minute walk from the beach!

Moving in was fairly simple as the place we chose is fully furnished with all of the utilities, including cable and internet already switched on (though we feel slightly ripped off that included cable is only 3 channels!). The movers were at the house before we were with all of our stuff.

It's the nicest place we've lived in together and so our sixth year of marriage begins in style.

I'd say we ended year 5 pretty well, even if my coworkers gave me a hard time for it. We spent the night living the magic . The photos of me jumping on the bed and the answer to what happens when Bree puts an entire bottle of bath gel in the jacuzzi tub are only available in person. The ones of us with Mickey and Tigger we will try to upload once our bag of cords is sorted out.

To finish off the anniversary celebrations doing our best to act young, we are headed out again.. We might need to find some ear plugs, but we are definitely in a seated section.

Now... to maybe venture out for some groceries. Our phone is up again, so give us a call tonight (our Sunday morning).

Happy Anniversary kiddos!

After considering it further, I might come visit you this summer after all.

I think I can sell my kidneys on the black market in exchange for a plane ticket. I'll see how it goes.

I wish you would tell the story of the bath gel to my little prep boarding girls. They like to put half the bottle on their legs so they can get a nice enough lather to "shave"... with sponges? haha

Miss you both muchos!

So, in which "development" are you living? I want to "see" where you are!

I'm glad you have a home and had a spectacular anniversary!

I'm glad to hear that your phone is up and working. I tried to call you several times to no avail. Actually, finding a time to call you is somewhat of a problem!!! Martha sent me the link to your new dwelling and it looks a lot like the place where you were having your palooza here in CS. It looks very modern and very clean. Hope Bree is feeling better. Our weather currently is about the same as yours there. Love from MawMaw
