First, we are expecting a little baby girl. The baby kicks around often, and we began to feel her presence in the family. We are excited and look forward to see her in person this coming spring. For sure, life will be different from now on. And, here are the rest….
Early this year, Lei resigned from her eight-year tenure as a construction manager at Bovis. She later started a business, which ended shortly. In fall, she moved into real estate, got a license and joined Corcoran. Since then, she was able to successfully completed three sales transactions, which is a pretty good start.
July marked Jimmy’s tenth year with Credit Suisse. Returning to work after last year’s sabbatical, he managed a new project to completion in May within very aggressive deadlines. Over the course of the year, Jimmy hired two people in New York and Raleigh and relocated one person to Singapore.
In May, Lei and Jimmy participated in the 42-mile NYC Bike Tour for the third year in the row. Lei was brave enough to finish the tour despite a bad fall. We attended a 10-day meditation retreat in Pinebush, New York in June. During the summer months we kept busy with various weekend projects for our favorite non-profit organizations. Exciting news of our baby-girl-to-be was announced in the fall to our family and friends who responded with warm wishes and lots of advice! In December, while Lei was in her second trimester, we traveled to Taiwan and Singapore, which was probably our last grand trip as a twosome for many years to come.
Although 2006 does not seem very eventful, we feel that there is a lot to be thankful for. As we are about to march into a different stage of life, we started to look back our life since graduating from college. We were really blessed in so many different ways, either professionally or personally. Lei is especially grateful to her mother-in-law for being so caring during her pregnancy. We thank you all for the friendship and love, and wish you a very healthy and successful 2007 to come.
Jimmy and Lei
