Am I still being Romantic ?

So here I was the other night , Qing in a certain way tells me .. that I'm not as Romantic as I was .. during the time we were apart and waiting to see each other again . This of course made me think . You know what ? She is absolutely right there . It has nothing to do with , that I love her less . I guess it is only normal for a relationship to take a step back .. if you will .. so to speak , in that department .
Anyway , what do I do the next day ? Feeling kind of guilty towards Qing , I spend my Lunch time to write another Poem .
I never want my Sweetheart ( LaoPo ) to think , that I'm not the same Husband now that she is here with me . It is quite the opposite , as our love is still young and growing each day . Just one look into her eyes is the very proof of that .

Well .. so here it is . As I write it here , Qing has not even seen it yet .

My Sunshine !

Qing is the name of my Sunshine
brightening and warming my Heart
each and every day of my Life

Qing not only shines during day's
but also the lenght of the night
how wonderful it is
to be calling that Sunshine mine

Never to be without light
having her near and always bright

As one can see
I'm mostly satisfied and in delight
to have Qing's Sunshine by my side .

So I hope , this will show .. that I have not lost my Romantic side by any means .

Today is a little Anniversary , in a way .

Yes , today it's been exactly eight months of my Sweetheart's arrival to the U.S.A. . One does look back and think . For one ; where has the time gone . Second ; how has Qing adjusted living away from where she grew up most of her Life . Third ; how did I adjust to being married again to such a wonderful Wife .

Of course the time factor is not hard to figure out . Time always flies when your Happy/having Fun and things just run the way you have in visioned before I ever started on this journey to the Far East .
I can truly say , Qing adjusted very well .. considering she does not have a Drivers License yet and is Home all the time . Except weekends and when she goes out with one of our Neighbor's Lady .
I know , Qing is not the Person that gets bored easy .. as she finds many productive and meaningful things to do around the House or the other two ways she spends time with .. is she studies hard on her English and she loves to Cook ( Chinese or western Foods ) doesn't matter . What does matter , she is happy and content with the situation at hand . I can feel it and see it , as I get greeted with slippers in Hand and hot Water always ready for my first glass of Tea or with Lemon .
After a .. sometimes hard day at Work , like today . Pulling out a complete Heater Unit out of a Volvo , to replace a Heater Core . I tell you this is no fun , when the Unit is as wide as the dashboard .. which pretty much comes all apart . Looking like a Bomb has hit the poor Car . Haha .. what am I saying , poor " ME " . Anyway , coming home and seeing my Sweetheart .. let's me forget those not so pleasant Job's quickly and in minutes flat .
Now , I had of course to do some adjusting as well . But to be truthful , it was a lot easier for me . So reflecting back those very eight months and the two years plus , I can not say/feel any more complete as a Person and happy as can be .. also .
If this is continuing this same path to both of our twilight days , so let it come to be .. we both are ready for that test of time too .

*** 8 is our special number always , as this is reminding both of us .. of our special day back in 2008 .. me carrying my Lao Po on my Back and making that one of our happiest days of all ***

*** I have " ONE " true love to share and that belongs to my " QING " always ***

July .. and it's getting Hot and Qing is .... !

The Temp's going up and Qing finally is taking off that Coat in the House .

Ahhh .. just kidding Sweetheart .

This week is something coming up , that I'm sure Qing was looking forward to very much . Thursday we sign her up for her fourth level ESL Class again . It will start beginning of August and run till May next year . Coming up also on August 3rd. is Qings try again to achieve her Drivers License ones more . She has been , or I have let her go all over the place .. to get as much practise as possible .. in before then . She must have already over a thousand miles under her belt . I feel very relaxed being her passenger , as she has learned so much by now . I think , ones she receives the License .. I would feel somewhat okay .. her driving herself to nearby Stores and even the Mall in the Antelope Valley . Maybe even to School in the not so far future . Nothing more then .. say 10 miles at a time .

It will give her some freedom to choose and get out of the House here and there . This has always bothered me a lot , having my Sweetheart restricted to stay around the House all day/weeks/months while I'm at work . This will change soon too , as we are going to try to find a part or full time Job that she would be satisfied with for the time being . There is nothing more gratifying , then to see my Lao Po happier and smiling more than she does now . Hope all goes well .

My Lao Po , where else .. but the Chinese Garden in Pasadena . This and several other doorway's like this are a exact duplicate of the ones at the Yu Yuan Garden in Shanghai .

So it's all over now .

It's kind of sad in a way , to watched the last Game of the World Cup and knowing .. that it will be another four years of waiting . I'm having already withdrawal symptoms of all that action on the Soccer Fields of Africa . I'm very proud of my German Team ( even though they were asleep against Spain ) third place is nothing to sneeze at . I'm also very happy Spain won over Holland . Maybe if they change their Orange everything , their play will get good enough to actually win a Cup some day ? As I saw that Jong Guy practise his Kung Fu kick on a poor Soccer player , not only
" HE " but the whole Team should be punished for that .. including the ( like to play a little dirty to win ) Coach . This gives not only a bad impression on their Soccer Team , but also on the Fans and their Country . Maybe they should all cut back a little on their Smoking P.. ?
Anyways , now I have some more time for my Sweetheart .. not that she did not enjoy all the Action . But , I think deep down she's happy it's over for now .

I stay corrected , Qing really does not mind if it went on longer . She is even sweeter then I thought !

We did managed to have some wonderful time together on my Week off from Work . Just last Saturday , I took Qing to see a Concert at the Park close to our Home . In Town , were the " Spinners " .. with two of the originals . It was awesome , well for me at least . Qing listened and tried to remember if she ever hear'd from them . As she was born in '68 , the time the Spinners took off on their great success .. she did not recognize one of the songs , but loved the Concert anyways . The Guess Who are next on the list and after that a Beatles Salute to the Fab Four .
For now , we just try to stay cool .. as the Temp's hit near the 100's outside . But always time for a Swing in the early evening on our Swing - Bench as the Sun goes down and it feels cooler .. then inside the House .
First day back to Work and already time to write in my Blog , as it gets time to go home to my " Sweet " Lao Po .
