What's going on everybody. There were up and down on our road and there are bumps that need to jump over but there still be time where you can just chill and relax. I'm talking about spending time with your fiancee/wife/s.o on this coming Xmas and New Year.

What are you guys doing?

Where are you spending time with your SO?

I'm just gonna spend time over here in the States with my family and looking at my wife through webcam. I thought about spending time with my wife in VN and take her to Mass but I can't. Our plan was put back due to a better plan. We're spending time with our family and in January 2010 is a better time. So, I'm going back there on Dec 30th to be with my wife. I guess I will be there on American's New Year.

That's our plan. WHAT'S URS?

This will be my wife's 1st Christmas in the US. We are probably just going to spend it in Houston. We just closed on our new home last week and we are excited to get back and start putting furniture in it and decorating it. We also plan to put up a big Christmas tree up and let her smell the good scent of a Christmas tree. Since she is pregnant she probably can't travel much anywhere so we plan to just hang out in Houston and in our new home a lot.

I just came back last month. Even with an understanding boss, I'm still catching up at work for that 2 months away..so the earliest I can be with her again is mid Jan, staying for a month. Will travel back to Hanoi to be with the family for Tet and having our wedding banquet, with my parents also coming back...keep hoping she will have her visa by then and can fly back with me...I promised her last Valentines (09) we will go to Napa for wine tasting this coming Valentines, but I guess we will celebrate Tet/Valentines Day in VN instead..may be I will see you there H&P.

I will be spending Xmas at home visiting with Binh on webcam, getting things ready so that I can move there early next year. I am not sure if I will be there for tet or not, but just taking it a day at a time.
