Pictorial Updates

The last few months have been pretty uneventful so I haven’t been able to post much pictures of my adventures.  I have, however, been able to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones and keep up with good friends.  It has been fun engaging these people in conversations and relationships and walking along with them on life’s journey.  I am very blessed and grateful for the opportunities and trust.

My big brother, Joseph, came for a visit and for a doctor’s visit.  It was so good to catch up with him!  Looking forward to have him back for a longer period in a few months.

Celebrating Chinese New Year with my closest childhood friend, Aik.  He is living the “bachelor” life now because his family has return to Asia for a long visit.  They’ll soon be reunited when he heads over, but in the meantime we get to hang a little.

My life group feasting at Maggiano’s Little Italy Restaurant.  I love these guys and have thoroughly enjoyed living life alongside them.

Recapping

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind, especially over the weekends.  It has been fun and the beautiful weather has contributed to the fun quotient.  I have been learning a bunch and making new discoveries.

For my international readers I know you guys like pictures more than text so here’s some picture recaps:

 

 

 

My friend Kami got married.

 

That same weekend, Kami’s brother, Jarron, had a graduation party.  I am very proud of Jarron and for him sticking it out and completing college.

 

 

Here’s Jarron reading his cards and taking note of the “loot” he received – cha ching!

 

This last weekend, I got to spend time with some special little people.  Josh asked me to join him at a training thing he was speaking at; and Josh brought Abby along.  I love this kid, she is fun to be around and I am glad I got to spend quite a bit of the day with her.

 

 

 

I asked Abby to smile for the camera

So we’re at this training thing and all the speakers have taken their turns to share, they then had this Q&A time.  My friend Del, the facilitator of this session, invites the speakers up and turns to me and asks me to join them in taking questions.  I was not really prepared for this but it was a fun experience to share since I got quite a fair bit of questions.  I also got to encourage a guy after the session which was cool.  I had mentioned that I was a pastor’s kid and he wanted to talk a little about that.  Fun times.

After we got then with the training session, I headed to the next event which was a birthday party for the 2 (of the 4) of my favorite blondes (Jazlyn and Olivia).  I love these kids and was honored to be invited.

It was a quite a couple of weekends.  Now I am off to my next adventures, being called out to help people discover who Jesus is and what it means to follow Him.  Life is good because of Him.
