Oooh.. I hate that when you're reading a book and you have this feeling that you've read it before but can't quite remember.. I'm always so disappointed by that. I hope you enjoy it through the end and at least eventually figure out if you've read the story before!

Yes yes! We are back, mostly settled, and it's back to reading and BCF for me while Raja watches sports.. just like how we left it.

Things are good.. New apartment, new furniture, new(ish) city.. now just need a job and new friends!

You are still doing your internship yes? A few more months left, right? And how's BF? (Look at my discretion.. I'm the best secret keeper EVER!)

xoxo .. yeeeeeeey!! ii again!

Hi there We are good.. We haven't moved just yet, just took a weekend trip to mainland China this past weekend. We will be going back to the States on Sept 18th.. We have 2 weddings the following weekend, and that next week will be when we are moving. It's looking like Manhattan is going to be the final destination, although Baltimore is a distant possibility as well. Hopefully we will find out soon!

How was your weekend?

Glad to hear the French reception went well! If you have any pictures uploaded on any site, I'd love to see some. January, huh? Not much longer.. That's going to be so exciting!

Shenzhen was great.. And we leave Thursday for Thailand. Hopefully it'll be fun! We will go back to the States after that.. looking like Manhattan could be the final destination, but nothing set in stone yet. We shall see!

Hey no problem!! I probably forget half of the messages on here.. It's hard to keep everything straight! Between emails, Facebook, text messages, private messages, I figure I do pretty well if I get around to half of them.

Things are good here.. We're going to Shenzhen, China this weekend, and Bangkok the next. Cramming everything in since our time is almost up!

How long until the wedding ceremonies start?

Totally American here.. Born in Alabama, and lived there until I was 25 and was married. Husband is from Alabama also.

As for HK, we LOVE it here. If this place was in the States, we'd probably settle down here for a long while. There's tons to do, it's really nice here, there are mountains and beaches, and people are nice. Plus the Asia market is hot right now in the finance sector, so business is thriving and the economy is still growing, despite the hard time globally.

If you ever get the chance to come to HK to work, do it! What kind of work do you do, by the way?

Hello!

So Texas it is, huh? I've never been there myself, but we have 2 good friends living out there, and they love it! I'm glad you've gotten to spend quite a bit of time there, visiting your partner. My (now) husband and I spent the first 8 or so years in different states most of the time, so I so get the going back and forth thing.. It's definitely necessary, and usually fun!

I agree completely.. I am a BIG proponent of getting away from your small town where you grew up. I had a great childhood, even loved high school, but I still feel really grateful to have a separate adult life from my child life. Just something about knowing people look at you and don't see your past 25 years all in one quick flash.

Heh.. You joke, but I harbor a secret desire to live in England. I think it's from all these damn books I read by British authors.. Raja and I talked about looking for opps in London, but unfortunately, the London market for Citi isn't the major player it used to be since all of the banking shifts, so it wasn't a very good option.

It looks, right now, like we may end up back in Manhattan which is very exciting! I just find something magical about NYC, even after living there a short time. The change this time would be that I'd be working there, and I haven't attempted a job search in Manhattan before.. a bit daunting!

It has a FEW twists in it! It made the book REALLY good for me. The first maybe 70-80 pages were kinda rough because I felt like it was too formulaic chick lit, but soon after that, I was sucked in. The twists are REALLY good in this one.. I'd say get your hands on it if you can.
