memories from last summer






A year ago from today, we were spending our first week back in America for the summer. I can't believe that it has already been a year. This year went by so quickly. It's crazy to think that in just 5 more months, we will have a new little baby in our family. So crazy!!!
The power was out today from 8-5. This is a fairly common occurrence. I think the city turns off power in different parts of the city to save on energy. Fortunately, it was a nice day. I'm glad that our stove is gas, otherwise I would have to eat cold food all day. :)
Last night I went to a new little restaurant down the street. It is a chicken/icecream restaurant. The chicken kind of tastes like KFC. The icecream didn't taste too bad, probably because I have been in China for 3 years. Probably the average American wouldn't like it. Not very much like American icecream. :) Also, it came with cherry tomato halves on it. Chinese people eat cherry tomatoes as we would eat strawberries. On their icecream, cake, etc. I'm still not used to that, so I just pick the tomatoes off. :)

Hello dear! I enjoy reading your blog. James pointed it out to me. :-) Looks like your pregnancy is coming along well. You will love being a mommy. You can see from my blog that I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Caleb has only brought Jonathan and I closer. We were only married 8 months before I got preggo (our plan...). Thanksfully Caleb is a very easy baby and sleeps through the night, naps well, and is generally very pleasant and happy. Whew! :-) You and Nate look so happy!! I'm happy for you. Blessings on your summer!!
