Nice to read your mail.I really don't know even a single word from spanish but I think you are familiar with some of french words.Anyway aunty has promised me that she will teach spanish when I get back to Blue mountain town in November after completing my course. Learning something from my husband is not an easy thing as he is a short tempered person and I am too sensitive!!!but you know, when he gets angry I really like him :)It shows his real affection towards me...Am I going too romantic??? I really miss my husband and son a lot, still 4 months to go,hope they fly..

About my daily routine,since I am not working and have classes only in evenings, my day starts at different times!!!!My morning drink is either orange juice or limejuice followed by 2 slices of bread or corn flakes as breakfast.My lunch time usually at 12.30pm and dinner at 7.00pm.My husband and in-laws are always advising me to improve my eating habits,but I really don't know how!!!

Then about my hobbies ,I like listening to music and watching TV.We don't go to theaters to watch movies as my mother used to get headache when watched a movie at a stretch, so once in a while we used to take DVD for rent or will buy video cassettes.since I have assignments to submit every week I too won't get time to watch movies a lot.That's how life is going on here.

Both aunty and uncle are worried about your brother since none of the proposals are getting sorted out.We too are praying that his marriage should be soon.

I am not too good in cooking but not too bad.Since I have 4 months time ,I will utilize this period to learn as much as I can.My husband is not particular in having non-veg and sam, our son, don't eat non-veg ,so I escaped.I like all vegetables and fruits.I used to include salads with lunch.For dinner, noodles is my favorite.I will show you my culinary skills when you come for your brother's marriage!!!!!!!!hope you are not scared?!?!?!?!

I had been to Dubai 2 years back with my parents.Our university don't have campus over there, if they had then I would do atleast one quarter there.Even my friends wish the same.

My hotmail id susansp@hotmail.com, u know a small and happy family is residing in my Id, my husband calls me susan, s for sam, our cute little son and p for patrick.

-- Please learn to leave spaces after the punctuation that follows a sentence or clause (periods, commas, exclamation points, etc.) Single question marks and exclamation points are standard. In informal writing, you might use 2 or 3 for special emphasis, but things like that are easily overused and lose their effect if you use them often. Maybe once or twice in every 2 or 3 letters would be reasonable. After taking some out, I decided to give this warning and let you decide on the others. About non-standard short-hand spellings like "u" for "you": please don't ask me to correct something and then deliberately use spellings that you know I will have to correct.

Nice to read your mail. I really don't know even a single word <strike>from spanish</strike> of Spanish, but I think you are familiar with some <strike>of french</strike> French words.

But you know, when he gets angry I really like him :) It shows his real affection towards me...Am I going too romantic??? I really miss my husband and son a lot, still 4 months to go, hope they fly.. [These last few sentences are very informal, but they are fine in this context.]

About my daily routine, since I am not working and have classes only in evenings, my day starts at different times. My morning drink is either orange juice or lime juice followed by 2 slices of bread or corn flakes as breakfast. My lunch time usually at 12.30 pm and dinner at 7.00 pm.

My husband is not particular <strike>in</strike> about having non-veg [I do not know this short form; it probably stands for "non-vegetables" or "non-vegetarian food". You should spell out the full term that you mean] and Sam, our son, <strike>don't</strike> doesn't eat non-veg, so I escaped.[I'm not sure what you are trying to say.] I like all vegetables and fruits. I used to include salads with lunch. For dinner, noodles is my favorite. I will show you my culinary skills when you come for your brother's marriage!!!!!!!! Hope you are not scared?!?!?!?! [Again, avoid overuse of this non-standard punctuation.]
