Happy birthday, Adele!

My friend, Adele, and I went out to lunch to celebrate her birthday on Tuesday, one day after the actual special day. She likes her big day as much as I do, and enjoys stretching out the celebration all week. On Saturday night, she's having a big party where she's rented out the entire bar, and hired a popular band, LC Rocks, to play all night long. It should be a fun night out on the town.Adele and I went to an excellent Cajun restaurant in Round Rock called Gumbo's and this photo doesn't do my incredible meal justice. My blackened chicken with shrimp and jambalaya was fantastic, and the bread and herbed butter beforehand was the absolute best. I also had a salad called the sensational salad, which lived up to its name. If you live in Austin, I highly recommend adding this restaurant to your list. Happy 38th birthday, Adele! I cannot wait to party with you this weekend!
Since I detested my own face in our picture, so I cropped myself out. That's the beauty of having my own blog. I seriously need to get back on a diet.

Happy Birthday to your Friend! We ate here last year for our neighborhood 'parents' night Christmas party. I thought it was de-lish.

I love that you are the local food taster. I like seeing the food that you eat, and hearing how it was. Thanks for being so adventurous and trying so many fun places out.

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 shares

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.  Who would have thoug

Elder Larson to return from Thailand soon

Soon is relative, I suppose. Our son has been away from home more than a year and a half as he has been volunteering as a full-time missionary in the Thailand Bangkok Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since September 14, 2016. He will be home in four months and is working so hard, knowing his time there is winding down. He has been assigned to train Elder Ben Meyer, from Sydney, Australia, as they serve in Ubon, Thailand. Christopher has been there since November. We are very proud of his dedication and hard work. This week in Thailand, the new prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, with his wife, Wendy Nelson, along with one of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, and his wife, Patricia Holland, will be on their world ministering tour and be where our son is. The Church members and missionaries in Thailand are very excited and happy for this special visit! I can't wait to hear how it goes, and I look forward to pictures and stories to come.
