Um ... I'm sensing a theme here :) Okay really, other than "food" ... I also miss ...

- Being only 5 minutes away from my friends (now it's an hour flight!)
- Family dinners
- White Rock beach (esp. the milk shakes ... Daryeen/Kuya - you know which one is JC's favourite!)
Now, here are some things that I love about Calgary:
- Pho Kim
- Towa Sushi
- Falafel King
... oh, is there another theme happening? Just kidding ... okay other than food ...
- my husband and our family of course!!!!
- our friends
- less traffic
- i enjoy winter here ... except when i have to drive in the snow
- our church and our church group
My oh my, I think the list can go on and on. But really, what i love most is my husband.
He is the greatest blessing in my life ...

Congratulations to my childhood friend, Rodney and his wife Jeanette on the birth of their son, Xavier Cesar.
Aww ... Rodney's a dad! I still remember when I was a flower girl and Rodney was the ring bearer at Tita Cita and Tito Manny's wedding ... Congratulations Rodney and Jeanette!!!!

(0) commentsWow, where has the summer gone? I am so thankful that I did not pick up any summer courses b/c my oh my, our summer has been so busy.
Unfortunately, we were unable to go home to visit Surrey ... but many Surrey folks came to visit! Alona and Jay, the Palma's, the Faron's, Jason, and my parents ... as well as some family friends from the States ... and summer is not yet done ... we still have more family and friends coming in the next few weeks :) It has been so much fun going out to eat, sight seeing ... and most of all spending time with one another.
Isn't it amazing at how fast time flies? I can still remember walking down the hallways at Holy Cross ... or even playing in the playground at IC Delta. Now look at us! Many of us are either married or getting married ... some of us even have children!
Oh wow, where has the time gone?
Next thing we know we'll be attending Isaiah, Tyson, and Lauryn's wedding!
Oh my oh my.

Welcome to a new game on our blog.
From time to time I will be posting pictures or stealing ("or borrowing") ones from your websites, friendster, myspace etc (i figure if it's on the web, it's all fair game) ... and as readers of our blog you need to try and guess who is in the photo.
Here's my first one. Guess the name of the couple ...
Answers will be posted in a few days ...

I have been watching the news since 7.30 a.m ... been switching between CNN and CBC, plus checking various news websites. After a few hours I needed to leave the house to get my mind off of the disturbing news and to get some work done. 2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare 4 He will cover you with his feathers, 5 You will not fear the terror of night, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, 7 A thousand may fall at your side, 8 You will only observe with your eyes 9 If you make the Most High your dwelling 10 then no harm will befall you, 11 For he will command his angels concerning you 12 they will lift you up in their hands, 13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; 14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; 15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; 16 With long life will I satisfy him
When I came home, I tried to do some paperwork but I had the tv news blaring in the background. This did not ease my anxious feeling. I finally took a hold of myself ... and told myself to pray. I then reached for my bible and searched for the passage that I find comfort in:
Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
my God, in whom I trust."
and from the deadly pestilence.
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
and see the punishment of the wicked.
even the LORD, who is my refuge
no disaster will come near your tent.
to guard you in all your ways;
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
and show him my salvation."
Please pray with me today and always for our Lord God's refuge that no harm shall fall on His children.

Rome
I love this picture.
Florence
My husband likes to climb on bridges and dangle there while we are on vacation so he can take pictures. Now, of course it freaks me out each and everytime, and normally I am holding onto one of his legs (as the other one dangles above the water) ... but when I saw the light and the potential picture I ran to snap a picture ... and then ran right back to hold onto his leg again :)
Venice
We would walk 45 minutes just for this pizza place ... oh and trust me, it was well worth the walk! We also discovered a very yummy pastry and gelato store too!
I cannot believe this was two years ago ... I have been so blessed by my Lord God for his wonderful love ... thank you God for the gift of my husband and helping us make you the centre of our marriage.

So what is new in our world? Not too much ... just winding down before summer ends and back to school i go. My husband bought a new toy yesterday ... and toy accessory just this afternoon ... I'm super happy for him b/c it's been his dream for 10 years. And well, it's well deserved so I am so happy that he finally purchased it. Curious what it is? Well, y'all gonna have to wait till he writes about it :)
The past few weeks have been busy with our family from Surrey visiting ... and of course, me drooling all over Tyson :) I must admit, my godchildren are super good looking!
By the way, for those of you who haven't heard the BIG news, Isaiah is going to be a Kuya ... so big congratulations to my Kuya and Daryeen. Here's a picture of the new family member from Isaiah's website:

Well, after five days of eating and playing with baby Palma ... it's back to exercise ... well, not really "back" ... more like a necessity!! Everyday we went out to eat as if it was our last ... but my oh my was it yummy!!!!
I had five wonderful days with my godson and his parents. It was also my first time going to a spa here in Calgary ... and my first girls day out! It was so nice to be able to spend time with Anne-Marie and to be able to talk and talk ... and eat and eat.
Hopefully this will be a yearly visit for the Palma family ... Ron - by next year we'll have more restaurants to hit ... so get ready!!! Also, make sure you have room in your freezer during my next visit ... I think I hear CoCo Brooks calling your name ...
Below is a picture of two adorable men that I love very much ...
