Things have started to take on a more personal note as the wedding gets closer and closer. I was sorting through some old photos today and found this one. It’s one of our first photos together. It was taken back in 2004 in Changchun, China. I think it’s one of the few candid shots I have of us together. John does not like being in front of the camera and mark my words, it is a rarity to see him smile in front of the camera. That’s my guy, alright. Love….love.
Four years down and a lifetime to go…

Happiness.
John sounds a lot like me. Lovely photo. My wife recent found some photos of us from when we first started dating. Rather amusing.
What a wonderful memory to share! You haven’t changed a bit!
Thanks guys. This is one of my favorite photos of us. And the good times keep on coming!
Stevo,
I’d love to see those pictures. You’re quite photogenic and the Mrs. happens to be gorgeous!
Joanna,
Arg. A little older, but also a little wiser.
Hi,
Im Neil Alado from Philippines, I saw your blog and I find it interesting related to my blog too. I love photography too.
http://www.insidenegros.com is my personal blog. The main purpose of the blog is to promote our province (Negros Philippines) to the world via internet. There is also a part where i feature my photos around the province.
Thank you and God Bless.
That is such a nice picture, makes me smile
I hope you don’t mind me asking you this (personal) question. Were John and you apart (area wise) for a while? I thought you spend a long time in different regions/countries. I had to deal with a similar situation with an expat boyfriend, so I wanted to know how you handled the situation. (I don’t mean to pry, so feel free not to answer if you don’t feel like it!)
Hi Kim,
I don’t mind at all. My life is pretty much an open book. John and I met in China. We fell wildly in love, spent six intense months together and then went through a nine month seperation. He was in the States and I stayed in China. It was horrible. Our phone bills were atrocious and we both really struggled to make it work. By the end of the nine months, neither one of us knew what to expect because we had been away from each other longer than we’d been together. Re-uniting meant we had to get to know each other all over again. That was also hard, but I don’t think there’s ever been a time when we thought we wouldn’t be together or we couldn’t make it work.
Hi Carrie,
Thanks for your answer. I certainly know what you mean by ‘getting to know each other all over again’. Nine months is a very long time, it’s admireable and good to see that you two have made it work
