The Unforgettable Weekend...

The past weekend, we joined CAT from Sacramento for a refreshing retreat over at beautiful Redwood Glenn (about 25 miles from Half Moon Bay).

Lovely faces of CAT girls. I enjoyed every moment spending with the CAT ladies.

I like how creative the guys are when comes to making funny faces.

Also, something very special and surprising happened...

Peter proposed during the fireside sharing....

WE ARE ENGAGED!!!

I am so glad that Peter chose to share the special moment with CAT.  God brought us together in CAT and the group held us accountable in our relationship and encouraged us during our rough time.  I thank God for this wonderful group of brothers and sisters.  I am excited even though we know there will be a lot of work from this point on. I treasure every moment I have with family and friends....

First Entry of the Year

Noodle has gone for more than a month.  I miss him so much and thinking about him everyday.  One of my family entertainment is to look at Nood Nood's pictures.  Even though we miss him so much, we know that someone is taking good care of Noodle and he is happy.  Good bye Nood Nood.


The day after Christmas, I got a guitar lesson from my friend Annie.  So I baked her my famous short bread. I alterned the original receipe by adding walnut chunks and changed to different flavors.

Peter's back! I am definitely grateful and happy that he is back to the city.  Even though he is going through quite an adjustment, he is with his family and we are growing together in the same social community.  I hope Peter will be more settled in soon.  I am really thankful for him and what he did for me   The picture was taken on new year's day with family at a popular dim sum restaurant.

My name is Noodle

Name: Noodle
Nick Name: Nood Nood
Gender: male
Age: 2 moths
Breed: Eskie (aka American Eskimo)

Noodle got his name from the box he first came home with. The box says "instant beef noodle."  Noodle is EXTREMELY playful, high energy, curious and smart. His best friends so far are....slippers, the floor mop, and chicken flavor dog bones.....

 smile...

 Next day morning...

 Noodle's day -- eat, play, sleep, eat, play, slepp, eat...

 Noodle loves the Asian pumkin. He hugs it to sleep.

Two and half weeks later...

 Noodle got a last name....Noodle Trouble-maker

 Noodle was about to kiss my camera

 "Do I look like a polar bear?"

Does Noodle look familar? Yes, Noodle's older brother is Be Be whom we had for a day.  See my past entry for Be Be's pictures. My family is debating whether we should keep Noodle because he is quite messy and don't like to be kept in the kitchen.  If we give Nood Nood away, I will miss him a lot for sure. 

Weekend in Tahoe

Finally, I moved in to my new place and have sometime to update my xanga.  I had to place a lot of things on hold during the time of moving and settling.  I love my new place btw.  So comfy and cozy.  We still need to get more organized, but we are pretty much unpacked.  Here are the pictures from the weekend up in Tahoe for Darren's competition.  He did great! Sorry that the pictures are bit out-dated.

I was sitting outside that Saturday afternoon. It was peace and quiet.  The sky was blue and so does the water. This was a view from the back of Darren's cabin. Beautiful view!

 
Another shot... love the reflection of the sun light from the water.


This is one of my favorite pictures I took.  I love the calm quality of this photo.  I wish I was on that boat...floating.....

Peter was resting after his injury.  Poor thing didn't look to happy here. He's recovering in good progress. I am so proud of him that he can walk without crutches now. (photo courtesy of Amy)

I love the smile on their faces.  :)  (photo courtesy of Amy)

Chatting in the living room at night.  We were very full coming back from a buffet and we had a long day...

Happy day in Monterey

It has been a while since updating the site.  Btw, I have started my new job for about a month now.  So far so good.  Here some pics from a trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with Peter and friends.  I never been to the Aquarium and I have been wanting to go.  I finally got my wish granted.  It was a lot of fun hanging out and getting to know others. 

The wonders of the water world

The penguins are taking a break...

I really like this picture of Peter and me.  Lovely bay view, smiley faces. But the person in the back...

Flooting seaweed in the water.

Jelly fish are so amazing looking.  They look naturally artistic!

Wow....aww...hahh...
