Closing 2021 with Faith and Hope

Thinking back on what has happened in 2021 brings me back a lot of memories. Some of them are good memories, yet some of them may not always be good. I had a conversation with my best friend about closing 2021, I told her, I wish I could drink a sip of forgetful magic that could wash away all those feelings and memories. 

2021 starts with an invitation to take my current relationship to the next level. We were thinking about getting married, with a budget in our mind and things to prepare. Yet, due to pandemics and my Mother got infected with COVID-19 plus, there is not vaccine yet for the pandemic - we thought it might not be a good idea to hold a wedding in 2021. We like to have our guest to enjoy the party without using mask and can enjoy the dinner as well. Besides with that thought, we also in need of financial preparation, including place to live later on. 

During those process, there were few issues we had to address, and like any other relationship, we had our ups and down, arguments, excitements, reconciliation and forgiveness. Starting with financial issues regarding the place to live. The good part is that we found a house in Kelapa Gading with pretty fair price to get a loan from the Bank. Second, the venue for our wedding reception is gonna be held outside of Jakarta - which in fact, we did many research on place, budget and also price offered. We wants what we always dream about getting married to be realize this time. 

Eitherway, with our journey to take this relationship seriously, we want to close 2021 and open 2022 with an open heart, a grateful heart because we are blessed to find each other no matter what challenges come to us. So here we are, closing 2021 with faith and hope that tomorrow is gonna be a good day.
