And I thought the adventure was over...

About this time last year, I have returned from States and settled back into worklife, returning to work for the same boss before leaving. It seems like life back home was on pause. I could recall many work stuff, I typed in the year as 2008, the year I left work life and pursued the life of a homemaker.

I thought for most bit, the adventure was over but little did I know more is on its way. We were adapting to life back home, reconnecting with friends, missing the great cool weather... enjoying our hawker fare and not having to work out mentally how much tip to give. We were talking about couplehood, living for the rest of our lives as a couple without kids. We were talking about moving to a smaller apartment, getting a un-family friendly cars... in fact, we won't just talking, we were already looking. I came to like the life we had in the States, small 1 bedroom apartment with min stuff, only necessities and some core interests...min maintenance.

Then I got pregnant...and that wasn't all. We have twins. They are a little more than 3 months now, definitely starting to present their own characters, at least it appears to be in the making. They are a bundle of joy for sure, but they do require work and help. Bye bye to our comfortable couplehood.

And yes, we are looking to move too, just not to a smaller place, but perhaps even a larger place for the boys to have space to run around. Then there is also school which I need to start working on for Yi, because of his special needs. Then there is the part about making sure they both get sufficient attention and love from us, which can get especially hard when one requires more...

Life is truly an adventure and I thank God that though we have no idea how we will do this and what life lies ahead of us and how our actions will impact our boys' lives, I am thankful we have a God we can call upon and rely on. We have come so far. We thank especially our mothers for all that they have put in to make this easy for us. And above all, we thank God for blessing us with our mothers.

To God be the Glory.
