Journal of Value Growth [JVG] | Volume 31, Nov. 2011

TC and I celebrated our 20th year anniversary in Oct. 2011. Con-Ning is 11th grade in high school, a Girl Scout cadet & counselor, member of Beta club and loves riding horse. She also intern once a month at Greenock Farm Veterinary Hospital. Can you guess what she wants to be? TC continues to be an aquarium enthusiastic hobbyist. I hike twice a month with group of ladies locally.

I took my first whitewater rafting trip this year! (P.S. I don't swim ... ) It was a lot of fun and plan to have one soon in 2012.

We have a lot to thankful for this year!! Most importantly, I want to thank you for your continuous support!!

Drop me an email at jolly@chialichien.com or call 704-268-9378.
