Anniversary

We celebrated our 8th anniversary on January 1st.
Our friend Meg babysat our kids overnight!!
Kids had a fun sleep over and Bryan and I were able to spend time together without the kiddos.

We ate at Cheese Cake Factory. It was my first time to eat there and it was pretty good.
We watched Avatar 3D.

It was nothing big but it was very nice because this anniversary date night reminds me of our dates we used to have before we got married. (brought us a sweet memories)

Honestly, I didn't realize how difficult an international marriage is until we moved to America. You can't imagine until you have experienced it....I guess.
Difficult part is......Different culture,language and food, drive a car opposite side from I used to drove, expensive travel to go see my family and can not see them so often......and on and on.
But there is great part also.
Great part is.........you can challenge yourself in new culture, food and language. You can say I don't understand or I can't speak, if you don't want to talk to people who are annoying or sales calls.(ha ha ha)(but sometimes I really don't understand though)
I found so many other things I like it in here also.

Well......
One most important thing I know is marriage made me grow up as a woman, wife, mom and daughter which means my wonderful Bryan helping me, lead me, guide me, love me,understand me and always there for me to be better.

What we did in December 09

We did a lot in December but I was being lazy.....so here is our picture that you can see what we did this month.
It was Kota's 4th Birthday on beginning of month.
Daniel and Emily had a school winter sing. They sang cute christmas songs and did very good job! I really love to hear kids singing songs. (makes me smile a lot)
We went to Bryan's grandma's for Christmas Eve as always. It was nice to see all our family there. Kids were happy to see grandpa, grandma, and aunts, uncle, cousins.
Our car navigator brokedown near the Grandma's house on Christmas Eve.....thanks to our family's help to get us home that night.
We spent time with Bryan's mom on Christmas day.
I got a Wii Fit from Bryan. I'm so excited to do this! I don't know this will be good work out for me or not but I know this is gonna be entertainmet to our family.

Happy Halloween

Kindly our neighbor gave us 5 pumpkins.
We were able to carve our family pumpkins this year. It was fun!
Daniel carved one all by himself. Accidentaly he cut his finger also, but it was just like a scratch.

On the 31st, we participated in our ward Halloween dinner as usual.
We had cornbread and chili then we started trick or treating when the sun went down.
Kids walked hard and they got buckets full of candies!
Happyly ever after....I also had some candies from their bucket.(hahaha)
Happy Halloween!
FYI-Bryan was not really dressed up he was Dr House. Yes he had a bottle of Vicadin in his pocket too!
