What a year 2012 was because...................

Jason B:
I was thinking of all the events that has happened in my life during 2012 and I think it would be an interesting read for all to share their own personal milestones for the year and will also show any newbies that it is all not doom and gloom and that their is light at the end of the tunnel.  I know it is not over yet but not everyone checks here everyday.

For me:
Celebrated our first wedding anniversary on 16 February, 13 April Laura was welcomed into the world, Xia's mum came to Sydney for 3 months, Xia got her drivers licence and her first car, we bought our first house together and are planning our trip to China next year......bit of a quite year really..... :P

Now over to you...

Pineau:
Nearly two years after filing we are headed home to the USA. 
Interesting she will first step foot on US soil on our 2nd wedding anniversary.
Spent an entire year away from home.
Learned to navigate the subway and buses in Guangzhou.
Made dozens of new friends.
Didn't die in China like I expected.
Found more new ways to annoy Chinese men.

To the newbies.  Nothing worth having ever comes easy but the rewards make the troubles and hardship worth your time.

If you find the right lady and decide to marry I recommend that you come here and stay with her until she gets here VISA. No sense in abandoning her after making her all those promises. If you get stuck here like me then make the best of it. At times you will hate it and other times it will be great fun but the experience will leave you with a lifetime of memories. So stay and enjoy all that China has to offer.  You will get sick of the food but the occasion trip to McDonald's takes the edge off.

And without a doubt the best girl-watching in the world is right here in China.

I survived two huge projects at work, and will come close to breaking the $100k barrier for the first time.  I hope my wife comes home soon so I have a good excuse to not work all this overtime.

I bought my first house.  At 43, I never thought I'd buy a house, especially in this town turned world class ski resort.   The Australians outnumber the Canadians here during the winter months. 

I made trips 6 and 7 to China this year, I think.  I'm starting to lose track.  I got to see a lot of my wife's province, Fujian, this time.  It is so beautiful, but also highly militarized.  I'd like to thank the army for delaying almost every flight I've made.  haha

David E:
2012 is such a great year for me...simply because I had a whole year of relative normality, living a normal life with my wife, doing all the normal things a happily married couple do.
We live, love and laugh together, we fight (not often), we talk more and more as her English gets better each day, we plan for our future together, we do stuff to our home and we always have interesting times finding the balance between our cultures.

I dont want to even begin to imagine life without my Princess.....just give me endless normality...I will settle for that...but how wonderful to have a normal life with your soul-mate    ;D ;D ;D

In May We went To Ark and seen my oldest son graduate high school.In July my wife had another baby boy.This makes 3 boys in six years.They are all doing good.And a joy to watch as they learn new things.The 4 year old and the 2 year old both speak English and Chinese.The 4 year old can count to 100 in English.And 20 in Chinese.He also can read simple words in English.Both boys can carry on a conversation with there grandma in China.Over the computer.

All in all it has ben a good year.I built a work shop.And started building boats again.My wife seems to be happy and content with her life in the United states.She has made new friends.Both American and Chinese.And she has adjusted well to American customs and culture.
