HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY!!

Well, it is official!

Jo and I have been married for our first year! We got married in court a year ago today and then had the wedding dinner in Feb. to coincide with my parents coming, so today was a BIG day!

We both took off from work and just planned an easy day. Basically, exchanged some gifts and went out to eat at one of our favorite restaurants (Little Italy) and had a great meal. After that, we walked around both in and out and decided to head back home to relax and contemplate how we got this far....actually we saw a movie.

After that, I had to take Mocha for a walk since he was bouncing off the walls (literally) and then we just relaxed and sipped wine and chatted about the past year, our plans and hopes.

It was (and still is) great and I am so lucky to be the husband of Jo!

Here's to many more!

Well, we are in the middle of a pretty big typhoon now - bigger than others.

As I write wind is billowing all around us, the sky is grey and rain is going in seemingly every direction but down.

Actually, it is pretty cool, but I say that from my safe abode in Taichung, which usually never bears the brunt of a major storm (except once about 15 years ago, and coincedentally, I was studying in Tung Hai University at the time).

I usually work on Saturdays, but we only had half a day, thankfully. Driving home was interesting since I kept having to rebalance myself on the motorcycle from the winds.

Anyway, things are well here and now it is officially "Fall" season here and last night was the first night we did NOT use an A/C. And with this typhoon it should really cool things off.

Have a good day, where ever you are,

Jeff & Jo
