Nostalgia


Every newly wed should have a first year together like ours. Two weeks after our wedding, we moved to a new town where we knew nobody and it was located on the other side of the earth far from where all our families and friends were. The transplant to a new place gave us space to adjust to live together without much interference from our original family and non-mutual friends. There, we were known as "Stefanus and Fitri" instead of "Stefanus and his wife" or "Fitri and her hubby." We had an excellent beginning 17 years ago. It helped of course that we spent it in one of the most beautiful towns in the world and met the people who become our life-long friends.

I don't know that you came only two weeks after your wedding. We moved about ten days after our wedding. So, we're exactly the same fit!! I agree that it's the best thing that you can do when you're starting a family. Not too many people hava the courage to do it. But it's well worth it.

Hahaha... we rocked, Trin. Btw, which side of the stadium is Marine Court? I thought the bottom right corner of the photo is towards Marine Ct. Am I right?

Yup.I think that's about right. Have you been there after you moved? Geez, I almost cried when I came back (several years ago). Too bad that henry wasn't with me. It IS a VERY beautiful city. Memorable times......sigh..
