Milestones
Yesterday, June 22, was the anniversary of the day Jeff and I met. For some of you who may not know, we met in China. My friend and I were visiting on a 2-week trip, and Jeff had just moved to the city. That day, he took my friend and me to see the beautiful glacier in the city where we lived there. It was a long, hard walk to the top, and after we caught our breath and realized that we weren't actually going to catch a glimpse of the glacier, due to the massive fog, Jeff opened up his backpack and gave us each a Snicker's bar and a mini can of Pringles, explaining that we'd need an energy boost because of how hard we had just worked our bodies.

After showing us around town, we ate at a local "restaurant" called "La Mu's", where we had chocolate-banana milkshakes for dessert. Well, as close as you can get to chocolate-banana milkshakes.

Can you believe they got paid for this job?

So, in honor of that special day 7 years ago, I made fried rice for supper tonight, and chocolate-banana milkshakes for dessert. And for Jeff's lunch tomorrow, I packed a Snicker's bar, and some pizza-flavored Pringles. :) It's the little things.

Just FYI, it's bad manners to leave your chopsticks like this

(She's 9 1/2 months old, for the record.) Both girls have been sleeping soundly in the same bedroom for 3 hours now (at the time I'm writing this.) And in place of the crib, we moved the rocker into our bedroom. I think it's going to make a nice quiet-time nook.

I have no idea when Bill and I met. It always amazes me that some people can keep track of that. I think the year might have been 1997? LOL
hmmmm

You had a huge part to play in our whole journey. I love how God has worked everything out. And I would love to meet you in LJ and go see the glacier with you! (I might only have the money for a one-way ticket, though.) :)

Your fried rice looks so yummy. Can I get the recipe?!
