Has it really been 20 days?

I'm finally adding a new post to my blog and have missed reading all my friends' blogs! The family and I went to Colorado for a week during spring break and I was already feeling like it had been a long time since I'd gotten caught up. Then when I tried to turn on my computer at 2 am the night we got home, it made this slow, loud, painful sound. It didn't sound good. I tried to reboot it a couple of times, then my husband diagnosed it and informed me it was history.

So luckily, my husband is a genious and rebuilt my computer for me and I'm up and running again with the lastest, greatest computer in the household. I have Windows new operating system, Vista, which uses tabs. I have yet to appreciate that, as I'm a slow learner in these matters. We are such a computer family because of my husband's enthusiasm and professional background. He designs computer chips, therefore, each person in our family has a computer. I'm not sure how or why that is. It's not like everyone in our family owns his or her own set of stainless mixing bowls and Santuko knives, due to my pampering.

Being married to a computer whiz does come in handy. So, now that I have a new computer, I plan to add some photos and journaling of our latest shenanigans. I do appreciate all the comments from friends and family. And want to say a big "THANK YOU" to Kelly for helping me. Thanks, Honey! You're amazing. I'm sure I'll understand all the new bells and whistles eventually.

I have been wondering where you were! Glad your computer is fixed- I would freak out if mine broke down. Plus I am not married to a computer whiz like you, I have to be my own computer whiz!

It feels like it's been ages to me too! Trust me, I was freaking out. I have PC orders that I've been waiting to submit that were only on MY computer!

Funny that you spelled WHIZ like that because when I was about to add my post, Kelly saw it and said, "I thought WHIZ was short for wizard. So then I edited it to spell that way, wiz. What SHOULD it be, Mrs. Newspaper Lady?

Hi Kelly, glad you are back, too! I just checked my dictionary, and whiz means wizard. Doesn't make sense, but there it is. You are lucky to have a computer "whiz" in your home. Neither of us is very good with them, so I have a young friend who comes once a week or so for an hour and helps us. We make lists each week of things to ask him. He has been a lifesaver! Heidi is going to add your blog to my blog list since I read it all the time anyway. Thanks for making contact!

Yeah! Thanks for that answer, Bobbi! When your comment to my blog came, I was reading YOUR blog and then clicked on the link about Stephanie Meyer's book. My daugher will be thrilled to read that too, as she's a huge fan.

I so look forward to catching up on everyone's blogs and am excited that we've "found" each other through Heidi...the BLOG WHIZ!

Okay, now that I look back at the post, I cannot bear to see wiz spelled that way and am going to edit it because it reminds me of the crudely slang meaning of wiz, which I will leave at that.

I'm so behind on my blog and reading everyone else's too. :( I'm really enjoying catching up on your blog this morning! Sheridan is sick today so I'm at home with her and I'm hoping to post a lot while she takes her nap!

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan....

San Antonio temple weekend

Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon.  We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue. Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more. We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots.  It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio.  We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces.  More photos of the family.  The family, strolling along th...

Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party!

Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August?  My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things.  This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool!  As each girl ...
