Congratulations Myle and Frank!

Wooohooo!!!! Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Frank and Myle Gale! These two have the most beautiful love story.Please allow me to share their beautiful love story:

Myle and Frank dated for ten years! They met while Myle was in college. They were eachother's first and only love. But like all true love stories there were obstacles (I like to call them "fertalizers." ...They stink at the time, but they nourish the relationship and make it grow, just like fertalizer).

Myle's parents did not "approve" or "accept" Frank since he was not the nice Vietnamese boy that they had hoped their daughter would marry. But Myle stood by his side.

Frank desperately wanted children some day; Myle did not want children. Frank said, "Myle, I might be missing out on something great not having children, but I KNOW I would be missing out on something great if I lost you." Frank stood by her side.

Last year, Myle and Frank went to Vietnam on a trip. Myle got deathly ill. She was in the hospital for weeks, and the doctors said she might not live. Frank never left her side. He slept on cold hospital floors, he bathed her, he talked to her, he held her. His love for her warmed hearts...even the hearts of Myle's parents! They accepted him as their own son. Myle's heart too was warmed. Myle wanted to have children with Frank.

Talk about the power of love and blessings in disguise!

So here is to you, My Friends! Here's to unconditional love and to never leaving eachothers' sides!

Happy Flirty Thirty To Me!!!!

Hey...The thirties are the new twenties...Haven't you heard?

With my childhood, adolesence, and twenties behind me, I am actually excited about my thirties. I look forward to seeing what new adventures are in store for me, what new curve balls life will throw at me, and can't wait to experience the sensations that will bring a smile to my face and warm my heart. Bring it on, World!!! I am so ready!!!

I decided to really ring in this new year of mine with the people that I care about the most...My family and friends. I threw myself a birthday party (of course with the help of loved ones. Special thanks to Ahn, Allura, Charles, Michelle and Myle). I had such a wonderful time. And again, I am touched and feel tremendously blessed to have a loving and supportive family, and wonderful, caring and fun friends in my life.

I love you all so much!!! Thank you for making my "flirty thirty" so memorable and fun. Here's to 30+ years to come!
