all traveled out + a photo update

i got back from new orleans on thursday night. on friday, i flew out to seattle for a wedding. i just got back a couple of hours ago, and this thursday, i fly out to portland to see my brother graduate from college. so much traveling in such a short time period - it's fun, but really tiring. someone, invent teleportation...quick please.

and i finally updated my photos:

pictures from new orleans can be found here. there are also a slew of photos from the few days i just spent in seattle.

pictures from spring quarter are here.

pictures from the winter break, etc can be seen here.


in seattle, i got to see tons of people. at the wedding, i was the gift girl, which meant that i got to see everybody that walked in and say hi. yay! a job that makes it easy for me to catch up with friends. at the reception, i was seated with a couple of my old roommates and friends from college - double yay!

i visited my old church on sunday and i was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a joint service with the other taiwanese church. this means that i got to see all the friends from my old church and friends from the other church that i didn't expect to get to see. triple yay! and, to add to that, my former pastor happened to be the guest speaker, so i got to see their whole family. their girls, whom i used to babysit for the married couples fellowship, have gotten so much older - they looked so different.

seriously...9 months go by and everything is different. it's a little sad to think about all that i've missed, like all the babies are no longer babies. they're talking up a storm and running around. and there are people about to have babies. and there are some newly engaged peoples. friend are buying houses. when did everybody decide to grow up and settle down? :) ack...it's such a good craziness. now they are completely into the "young professionals" category. i think i'm supposed to be too, but i still feel like, and sort of live like, a college student. hmm...i may have to reassess my situation...


this morning, i got to have breakfast with kristie, jerm, chris, and david. then, i stopped over to see the nakanos and play with the kids. then, it was off to lunch with melissa (newly graduated physical therapist - yay!!!), parker, wing onn, joyce, and chris.

and now i can rest and sleep in my own bed for two days before i fly out again. oi.
