SATURDAY Around midnight my momma, little brother, little sister and my mom's lovely friend, Margo arrived at my door! I didn't get any pictures of their arrival but it was wonderful! They brought me a new car with them, yay! It was a packed night that night...Lisa, my momma, Caleb, Hannah, Margo and I all under the same roof. The next morning we drove to the beach and it was so beautiful and such amazing waves that we just ran straight out into the freezing ocean and jumped the waves. I took everyone home and I took Lisa to the airport and we said our goodbyes.  SUNDAY Following church we jotted down to Santa Monica Pier. I don't know if I have told you this before or not, but whenever I have an opportunity to take a pictures in a photobooth, I have to take it. I love it, I have quite the collection of them. I will have to share them with you sometime. So naturally when we saw the ...

Up to me leaving for Kansas I had been (well, still am) quite the busy bee. I went to bed at 3am and got up at 7 or 8am many ah times this week. Design work, troubleshooting, dental appointment, dinners, meetings, Christmas partays and galavanting across Diamond Bar, etc. It has been a fantastic whirlwind (well, not the being sick, but the rest of it I have loved). So many things to do, so little time. With World Mission Summit up around the bend and Christmas time drawing nearer, I don't foresee things slowing down any time soon. Before leaving to visit my family, I was able to meet up with several friends and students. Thursday night one of my Chinese teachers, Eric wanted to treat Sara, Citrin and me to dinner at BDC Tofu House in Koreatown. While I am in Kansas he will be traveling to Chicago and then New York City and later to DC and won't be back till March, so it was a great last hurrah or more like a 'see you later' kind of dinner. I am loving the barley t...

During the Chi Alpha Christmas party we threw for our students we tried something new and put together a little photoshoot/photobooth area. We transformed the garage door into a studio area with streamers as our backdrop, my photography lights, props, and a mini printer to boot. From left to right: Wei. me and Eric, my summer Chinese teacher. n__n We have done photoshoot areas before for our Thanksgiving celebrations but we have never done this at our Christmas parties and we have never printed them out, we usually just post them on our website. We printed 4 to a sheet and each sheet was 4x6 so we all got cute little mini pictures as souvenirs.  I thought I would include some of my faves of the night. Though there are a zillion more on our website .  All I have to say is that I love my friends. They are too too funny. I have another Christmas party tomorrow night and then I have a couple days of work and then I will be off ...

I ate this sandwich. Bought this journal from Half Price Books with Autumn. Skyped with this Farrems. Went to this gallery, looked at this art with this Caleb. Had this picture taken in this bus with this Priscilla.
