Movie night: College Road Trip

Check this out, I took this picture yesterday inside the theater! The kids and I went to the late afternoon matinée of College Road Trip and loved it. It was really funny, especially Donny Osmond. The fact that my daughter will be heading to college in two years made it feel like this movie was a little closer to home for me. I give it a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5 and think it was worth the theater ticket price.

After the movie, we posed for pictures in the lobby with Patrick Dempsey for an upcoming movie. Christopher is wearing his baseball cap backward, gazing into Patrick's eyes.

Here's my shot at being the bride.
Lindsey had to stand on a bench to be tall enough for the pose. I pulled her hair out toward the front side of the cardboard and we were cracking up. It was a lot of fun.
One of the previews we saw for an upcoming movie that I really look forward to seeing is Nim's Island with Jodie Foster. It looks like it's going to be an excellent movie!

Those pictures are funny sis. Lindsey looks pretty, Christopher looks hilarious, as do you. I haven't heard of the movie you saw. Maybe I will go see it. I have two gift cards for a movie.

I am so glad to hear your review of that movie! I have seen the adverts for it and being somewhat of a Donny fan I have wondered if it would be worth it to see. You just never know with those kind of "goofy" looking movies, so I have been a little apprehensive about going to see it. That's good to hear - we'll have to check it out now :)

Hilarious photos!!

That is hilarious! And I'm so glad you gave a review on that movie, I'd been wondering. Here on a Utah morning show they mentioned that Donny Osmond stole the screen and was awesome. I can't believe Lindsey will be heading off to college in 2 years. WHOAH!!!!

I've wanted to see this movie, so thanks for the review. It looks funny. But not as fun-y as those pictures. :-D

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

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....
