One of My Most Unforgettable Moments in My Life--My Wedding Anniversary  

Happy New Year, my dear wolfie. It is now 8:26a.m. January 1st, 2009. It is a fine day today. I am very happy to start with the first thing that I do this morning by reading and responding to your first response to my discussion.

It is a wonderful thing to have a flat or an apartment of his own for his freedom and space. In fact, I left my parents' house at twenty after I graduated from college. I lived in a room in the school where I used to teach. But when I went home for the summer and winter vacation, I still had to live with them and I still enjoyed it living together with my parents in their house. It was a few years after I go married that I could possess my own apartment with the ownership because I bought a new one. It is a very good feeling to have a house of his own.

I wish my you to get another place to yourself soon for the good feeling. Enjoy every moment of your life in the new year, wolfie.

Happy New Year, dear AmbiePam. I thank you so much for your nice comment to me. I am so happy to know that your parents will celebrate their thirty-fourth wedding anniversary in August 2009. I wish them all the best as well as you in the prosperous new year. Bless you all.

Speaking of your parents' year of marriage, it reminds me of my own parents, who got married in 1954. So far, they have been married for 54 years. My mother is a very nice one, taking good care of us three siblings while my father used to work outside home, making money to support the family. My father got retired before he was sixty and has been enjoying his retired life ever since together with my mother...

Take care, my dear friend.

Happy New Year, dear Bebs. I can see how hard it is to travel alone to a new and strange place, especially to a foreign country overseas. I am glad to know that you made it through. Yeah, it is really a moment that is unforgettable. Blessed be, friend.

Happy New Year, dear LittleMel. It is true that everyone wants their wedding to be perfect. Well, I have to say that both my parents, siblings and my parents-in-law were very helpful back to those days before and after my marriage. I am very thankful to them as always. Even now they are still helping me a lot.

Enjoy every moment in 2009.

Happy New Year, dear excellentfeng. It is good to know that you finally got married legally after having to wait for the marriage certificate for the second time.

I remember that it did not take us a long time before we got ours. My wife and I went together to the local Civil Affairs Bureau with our residency certificate together with our health certificate. We were the couple who went early to get registered that sunny morning in Oct and we made it smooth. I still remember the feeling of getting very excited to get the marriage certificate that means a lot to me as well as to my wife, because it is one of the greatest moments in life.

Enjoy every moment of yours in the new year--2009.

Happy New Year, Michael. It is now morning here, the first day of 2009.

First of all, I thank you so much for your nice response and comment to me as always.

I have to say that whatever unforgettable moments you have experienced, may I wish you a very prosperous and perspective and healthy year of the cow--2009.

Hello William,

Again I must thank you so much in a very nostalgic manner, sincerely. You want to know why?. You reminds me about the Year of Cow(Ox) 2009. Your words for that, really pushed my mind to be in my retro life a while for my year of birth - 1961. My birth year really endorsed in Zodiac Calender; 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997.

Hopefully, it real sounds good may takes me into reality.

Thanks, William.

People born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little, and inspire confidence in others. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster, and Rat people.

Happy New Year to my dear ElusiveButterfly,

Quoted: "Even though they are grown and have lives of their own, they will always be my babies."

It is well said that we are always babies of our parents however old we are.

The birth of my children is also one of my most exciting and unforgettable moments that will never be erased from my memory.

I wish you all the best in the new year, dear friend.

Thank you William. Many blessings to you and your family.

Happy New Year, dear Zelmarq. I thank you so much for the wonderful wishes to me. I wish you a very prosperous new year. Take care.
