Another 12 hours to go before we embark on our second honeymoon and we are totally thrilled.
And not forgetting panicky too as we have yet to pack our luggage.
Despite the fact I have so many things undone, I decided to steal some time to write this post before my 2 weeks of disappearance.
I am a voracious reader and I can gobble up a 300 pages book in a day or 2. At the moment, I am reading this book title “Leaving Microsoft to Change the World” by John Wood. He started RoomToRead.org after he left his high-paying job to start schools in less developed countries like Nepal and Vietnam.
After reading this inspiring book, there is a burning desire in me to do much more beyond what I am doing now. This book has somehow answered some of my deepest questions on what is my purpose in creating my wedding blog.
Yes, now I am working in local family service centre reaching out to single-parent families, including the children.

In fact, I wanted to write a blog post to thank my wife for being present. I think I should take a break from writing about wedding gowns or wedding hairstyles and I am just thinking it has been quite a while I wrote a love letter for her. This gives me a brigt idea to label this post as “Love Letters for Your Wife”
This video is about my nephew’s first try to stand up, unassisted.
The parents and grandparents were clapping excitedly for every attempt he did to stand up. Even when his little legs gave way and he fell, there were encouragements to try again.
As I was watching this video, I am wondering to myself and asking my wife.
