VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

We went to a short trip and had our 15 year anniversary two weeks ago. At first we planned to go to Bali Island for a holiday, but the government warned the Agung volcanic eruption soon and we didn’t want to take a risk. My husband is very kind man, he never blames me for anything and he always said my wife is the most beautiful and clever girl and sometimes my daughter said she couldn’t bear. When we first got together he was a policeman and I was a junior doctor, we didn’t have enough money to buy luxury things but we feel very happy yet. Now we still didn’t have enough money to buy our dream house and we still feel happy if only we are together.
