man oh man does time fly by! i just realized the last post was back in april and here we are in the middle of june...geez! well, let's do some catching up:
CHINA 2009: absolutley an amazing trip and gift from my in-laws! beijing, xian and shanghai were all so different and filled with rich history that i actually enjoyed. we ate well (besides the goose liver and duck dinner) and experienced some interesting cultural differences. beijing was HUGE...everything was just big. xian had the first dynasty and amazing history all built into the city. shanghai was very westernized and the city where we got lost! we packed in our trip with lot's of touristy outtings and were ready to come home! to say the least, i missed charlie EVERYDAY. not sure he missed us as much seeing that he had a blast with cousins obi and vader and his new best bud, hurley!
the month of may had some good times and some challenging ones. first, happy mother's day to my mom. she is a strong lady and can't imagine my life without her! we love you!!!
next, one of my closest and dearest friend sarah, delivered her precious baby boy on may 27th, three months early...he is heaven sent and is a little fighter! we continue to pray for the vogt's during this time...to follow their story, go to: http://jacksonvogt.com/.
sarah and i were to walk together for graduation but her water broke the day of...this is why graduation for me was SO bittersweet. but, i walked in honor of sarah and glad i did. my best friend and family was there to celebrate so we had a fabulous time...
we also welcomed the newest member, xavier raymond lions! we are so happy for ray and mandy (the proud parents) for this little bundle of joy...i love him already.
