I was born in one of southwest provinces of China, and moved and lived in Beijing China for more than twenty years. After I graduated from college, I met my husband and moved to the United States.
Before I settled in Seattle, Washington, I had been living in Midwest for six years. Madison, Wisconsin was the first city I lived in the United States. Madison is a university city, where the well-known University of Wisconsin is located. The nineteen century buildings and the lakes attract people to study and live there. It once was rated as the best city to live in by national magazines.
I have two wonderful boys, one is seven-year old, one is four-year old. Everyday my house is full of their laughter, the sound of their crying, shouting, and singing. It won't be quiet until they fall asleep. You can't image how much energy they have.
I was used to be a software testing engineer. After having kids, I had to turn to be homemaker. Now I pretty much enjoy my housewife's life. When kids go to school, I like to go to the gym to play tennis and make friends.
This is a great introduction, Donna - and a fantastic photo!

best living city to best city to live in
one is a 7-year old....a four-year old (or: one is seven years old, one is four years old)
have to turns to had to turn
pretty enjoy to pretty much enjoy
When the kids go ....the gym....to play...and make friends.
Donna,
ReplyDeleteIt is a small world! We come from the same provence in China, and my husband was born and raised in Wisconsin. In fact, he spent six years in Madison attending school. So you are a "cheesehead" also? :-)
I have gone there two times to visit his family. Once in the summer, which was fine, but once in January! I remember how cold it was and the snow was everywhere! How could you stand it? I could not live at that place, no matter how good the university is( Actually, I had some pictures at the buildings that you mentioned).
Thank you for reading my introduction. I am glad I built my first blog over here and have visitors. I have already corrected the grammer errors as you mentioned.
