and feel free to bring your friends too.

(But if you come earlier or leave later no one will be mad at you.)

Bring your kids if you want, or don't if you don't, and if you don't have any, you are still invited.

You can leave a comment to RSVP

Hasta la fiesta!

I uploaded this picture by accident.....
let the good times begin!

En Espanol

There is this adorable woman in our ward who just turned 90. She has the most amazing giggle and is very hard of hearing. She is always making loud comments and asking the people next to her to clarify announcements.

A few months ago, during a discussion of talents and the gift of tongues, I heard her "whisper" to her neighbor that she has always wanted to learn spanish. I laughed so hard and couldn't wait to go tell Li.

Fast forward to today. She got up to bear her testimony and her first words were, "Es verdad." She proceeded to tell us that she is literally learning spanish.

Why?

So she can share her testimony with the spanish speakers that she meets.

Please tell me that I will be that rad when I am 90 years old.

April Rules

Do you remember when I wrote this post about this article? You know the one where people did small things every day and got BIG results.

Well this is my mom.

On March 1st she did one push up (the "boy" kind, if you will) and was spent.

She kept at it every day and on March 31st did 15 push ups!!

That's amazing if you ask me.

This month she is working on her vertical jump. And I want to play too. I'm thinking I will pray out loud every day. It's either that or else red lipstick every day....but I don't have any, so probably prayers.

Who else wants to join in the fun?
Leave a comment if you want to play.

No such luck

Phil's official forecast as read February 2nd, 2009 at sunrise at Gobbler's Knob:

Hear Ye Hear Ye

On Gobbler's Knob this glorious Groundhog Day, February 2nd, 2009

Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of all Prognosticators

Awoke to the call of President Bill Cooper

And greeted his handlers, Ben Hughes and John Griffiths

After casting a joyful eye towards thousands of his faithful followers,

Phil proclaimed that his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers were World Champions one more time

And a bright sky above me

Showed my shadow beside me.

So 6 more weeks of winter it will be.

Check out groundhog.org for more information.

Apparently some Phil wannabe called Staten Island Chuck in NYC didn't see his shadow, and.....he bit the mayor. So we obviously cannot trust the little rat.

LOST, for real

Our Lost addiction has gotten a little out of control as of late. Last night we went to our friends' house to watch it and they weren't home. So we wandered around our apartment complex listening at everyone's door to hear who was watching it and then invited ourselves over.

And then the kicker....
This morning in Li's prayer he said, "We're grateful that Locke was able to get the compass to Richard."

Do you think I should tell him it's not real?

Crazy busy.

Li is uberbusy this semester. He is doing an internship at the counseling center. He is on one of his professor's research teams. He has all his regular classes and homework. Plus I made him join the Hawaiian Club with me and so I drag him to hula practice twice a week.

Last night he laughed at me when I said I wanted to go to bed at 9:30. But when I got back from brushing my teeth I found him like this.

on the road...

On our way from Florida to Utah we saw lots of funny things. Like this place called South of the Border. Words can't explain. These pictures really can't either, but take a look at them and then let your imagination go wild. And then next time you are between North and South Carolina and you see the billboards, stop. You won't regret it!!



If for nothing else, at least go for the free golf.
