Mother’s Day is this Weekend
Posted on May 9, 2012 by Ching under Family.
Brian’s mom will be out of town this weekend so we gave her gift to her early. This weekend we’re having lunch with Brian’s dad and grandma. I haven’t yet heard back from my mom so I’m not sure what we’re doing. Maybe dinner?
If you’re not yet sure where you’re going to celebrate mom’s day on Sunday, hop on over to the Wichita Eagle for Denise Neil’s extensive list of restaurants offering Mother’s Day specials.
P.S. If you haven’t changed your Facebook profile pic to your mom’s yet, it’s time to do it. This is the time of year when everyone uses a picture of their mom as their Facebook profile photo. So make your mom feel special and put her face on your Facebook profile pic!

Happy Easter

I don’t know what it is, but I like wearing white on Easter. The photo on the left was taken last year. The one on the right was taken this afternoon.
You know how some women have multiple black dresses? I have a few white dresses because I love, love, love wearing white. Specially on Easter Sunday. 🙂

Jeff and Tracy’s Beautiful Wedding
Posted on March 21, 2012 by Ching under Events, Family, Travel.
Brian and I just got back from cousin Tracy and Jeff’s beautiful destination wedding which was held at Coral Cove Resort in Little Bay, Jamaica. For those of you who haven’t tied the knot yet, I think destination weddings are a brilliant alternative to traditional weddings. You can actually save a lot of money because many resorts will throw you a wedding for FREE!
Couples has a “One Love” package which includes a bouquet for the bride, boutonniere for the groom, wedding cake and sparkling wine toast for up to ten guests, two signature champagne flutes, wedding officiant and marriage certificate, personal wedding planner and on property coordinator, “Just Married” shirts for the bride and groom, and 25-minute couples massage that’s free if you book at least 6 nights at one of their resorts. They don’t cover the $250 government licensing and administrative fee that everyone getting married in Jamaica has to pay, but where else can you get married for a measly $250? Can’t beat that!
If you aren’t quite sold on the idea of a destination wedding, just wait until you see the photos from the wedding this weekend. It’s so beautiful and romantic that I almost booked a vow renewal trip on the spot.
The guys right before the ceremony.
Viola and Terri before the wedding.
Shoes are optional. 😉
Brian and his mom.
I love how the pink color of the bridesmaids’ dresses contrasts against the beautiful blue sky and sea. The ladies were stunning!
Brian’s dad walked cousin Tracy down the aisle and gave her away. She looked radiant in her wedding gown.
Jeff and cousin Tracy made a handsome couple.
Some post-wedding photos…
Here are some photos of me and Brian and some of the other guests.
Post-wedding celebration…
Everyone had a great time! I can’t wait for the next destination wedding that Brian and I will be invited to attend. Hmmm… Maybe Pia and JP are next?

I Forgive You
Posted on February 5, 2012 by Ching under Family, Relationship, Travel.
We headed to our hotel after having brunch at Oldwest Cafe. At the time, we had no idea that the hotel was just down the street from the restaurant so we had to rely on Max (our GPS) who wanted us to take the freeway. Max is prone to calling out turns and exits a little late and Brian is prone to driving over the speed limit so we ended up missing our exit. We missed a couple more exits which prompted me to say, “You know it’s okay to slow down if you’re not sure where you’re going.”
“I can’t hear her (referring to Max) when you’re talking!” Brian snapped at me.
Unfazed I replied, “I’m not upset with you for being grouchy at me because I know that you’re only mad at yourself.” The entire car erupted in laughter. Brian’s mom and dad got a kick out of it.
Brian was like, “That’s the problem with having an educated wife. The FUs tend to be lengthier.” LOL.
We did finally manage to find our way to the hotel. We realized later that Max was being a turd. We could have gotten from the restaurant to the hotel without having to hop on the freeway. Go figure.
