moving on...

I was sitting in my flat about a month before Christmas 2002, I saw an advert for Thai introductions, I thought to myself my lifes going nowhere.
All I do is train in Aikido and swim, I had come to a happy medium of rest,  relaxation and training, I still find ways to overdo things!
Anyway , I phoned the agency and booked an appointment for 10th January 2003.
I actually met my future Wife on 15th January 2003.

We picked each other out from hundreds of photos and the rest is history.

I went back to Thailand in April 2003 and we were married on 9th April 2003.
I travelled back to Thailand 6 times before buying a house , cost £35,000 and has a swimming pool. There is a sports centre being built just outside our house and the house enjoys 24 hour security
The house is located just half an hour away from my wife's parents, which is ideal for us..

Everything has happened at the right time for my improvement and I'm once again enjoying life to the full.
I will be setting up an Aikido club in Thailand as I enjoy training in beautiful Bangkok with Seni Futzakua.

For some strange reason I always believed I would have an accident and my premonition came true.

Its been a very slow and painful experience to gain my health back and I thought that the serious injuries would ensure I would be a bachelor for the rest of my life.
I contacted the agency and fell in love, raise a glass to the next 30 or 40 years.
View my wedding images below.
Best regards
Andrew

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.
