August

Old news I think, but on August 5th Yen and I are getting married. Planning for that has been, to say the least, stressful (and expensive) but with less than 2 months to go I am suddenly starting to get excited.

The plan for now is for me to leave Nanning on August 2nd and fly to Manila, then on to Cebu on the 4th. My parents and siblings should be there already. Darren is meeting me in Manila on the 2nd and he very generously bought my flight from Manila to Cebu as a wedding gift. So we will be in Manila for a day or two. My friend Mike from China and his wife may also be in Manila on the 3rd.

I will then be in Cebu through most of August. I am looking forward to just decompressing. This semester at work has been incredibly busy, and paying for the wedding has eaten my savings. So just having a few weeks with Yen in Cebu sounds perfect. We will be doing a bit of work, such as organising her visa for China, but I can foresee a day where we don't leave the apartment, and I am okay with that.

I'll write more about the event closer to the time, for now I am off to work.
