A New Form of Home
Jan 20, 2016
For many newly married couple, moving to a new home is their first thing. A new home means a new place of belongings, starting a new environment that belongs to the new couple. For us, we do not have a physical home.
It was a grieving process for flOra to leave her parents home, first experience having a new physical home and then to leave it in a short period of time.
We were in a sorting process to decide what to keep and what we would not keep. Our lives were downsized to a few suitcases and the rest we let go or gave it away.
Afterthoughts:
When I was holding on to the house, I cannot leave the city to travel. If I am holding on to something secure, I cannot find have new adventure. When we decided to leave our home, I started changing my attitude to embrace new experience, explore new places and engage new people. We make ourselves home by being where we are together.
Wherever Dan is, that is my home.

1 Year Honeymoon Adventure in Asia

When Daniel was young, he had a dream: to have an extended honeymoon with the woman he loves.
He did not know how she looks or where is she from, but he wanted to spend the first year of his marriage with his wife.
Inspired by the Bible verse, Deuteronomy 24:5 : When a man get married. The first year he shall not call to war or business, but stay at home and please his wife.
He thought what if people actually do it?
Life is short and full of hustles. Soon we will have kids, pursuing career, earning money and the list goes on and on. If we are to be married for 50 years of our lives, 1 year out of 50 is only 2%. Why don't we devote one year to just focus on marriage, enjoy and learn about each other, build a strong foundation for marriage, and create the memories that we would never forget?
We would never have the first year of marriage back. If we rush back to work the next day after our wedding and be occupied with other priorities in life, will we get to know each other’s needs or spend quality time together? So me (flOra) and my husband Daniel decided to give our best time and attention to each other in our first year of marriage.
