I’m posting these photos from over a decade ago in honor of David Brubaker, the best father-in-law ever! He turned 57 today! Looking forward to celebrating with you guys at Tanganyika and PCP this weekend!
Brian and his mom Donna, goofing around…
Happy birthday, David!

Our free KLM luggage tags finally arrived. Brian’s arrived last week and I was worried that they wouldn’t send mine. Mine arrived in the mail today, though. Woot!

Audrey Hepburn
Posted on April 12, 2011 by Ching under Babies.
This is the rose plant that Jay and Becca gave us as a gift for helping them set up their booth at the bridal show on Sunday. It was totally unexpected. We were more than happy to help and we had a lot of fun doing it. It wasn’t like a chore that we had to do or anything. They decided to do something nice and surprise us with a plant anyway, which was truly super nice of them.
The timing was perfect too because we’re having a heck of a time reviving Chi-Chi. I think she might truly be dead. 🙁
As with all of our plants, we had to give the new one a name. Jay recommended Audrey after the plant in Little Shop of Horrors. I was thinking more like Audrey Hepburn, one of my favorite actresses, because the plant is beautiful just like her. Thank you for our new rose plant, Jay and Becca! You guys are the best!

Jay and Becca’s First Bridal Show
Posted on April 12, 2011 by Ching under Events.
Jay takes on the world. Well, maybe just a bridal show.
Jay and Becca needed help transporting their stuff (boxes upon boxes of brochures and other marketing materials) to the Hyatt for the bridal show on Sunday so helped by loading the cargo on the bed of the Flip and Ching mobile.
I tracked down a flatbed cart for us so that we didn’t have to make several trips back and forth between the ballroom and the truck. I was feeling pretty pleased with myself so I told Jay that I bet when they asked us to help they didn’t realize they were getting not just “brawns” but brains too. Brian being the “brawns” and me being the brains. LOL. That turned out to be the quote of the day. Jay kept making fun of me the rest of the time for saying “brawns.”
Oh, the irony! Imagine the supposed brains of the operation speaking broken English. Then again, I’m foreign so I have an excuse. What’s yours? LOL.
Setting up the booth was actually a lot of fun.
The boxes and the brochures ended up getting lint all over the black tablecloth so I had another brilliant idea and got a couple of lint mitts from the concierge desk.
We used them to de-lint the table. And here you thought all I did was take pictures. I helped too. 🙂
Check out the finished product. Great booth, right?
Here’s Jay, the proud papa of a bouncing, baby booth. I love documenting firsts. When the Travel Junkie takes off, we’re going to look upon this day in history and we will remember — Ching blogged it. LOL.

Jay’s Birthday
Posted on April 11, 2011 by Ching under Events.
We had a great time celebrating Jay’s birthday at the Phelpi’s the other day. Here are some photo highlights…

Brian loved Ashlee’s shirt. It reads, “I’m not SHORT. I’m FUN-SIZED!” Ironically, I think that little girl is actually taller than me. I need that shirt! LOL.

She’s a cutie!

Jay wanted to eat his head.

Brian and I didn’t drink until after he delivered the Germans and the Passat at the Hyatt safely. I picked him up at the hotel and we returned to the party. Several people had already left by then, but the party was just getting started for us.
Brian and I didn’t fare well at poker, but I kicked butt at Tekken. LOL. I think at one point I had a 10-game winning streak. The guys couldn’t beat me and my Christie Montero. 😉
