Hanging out with Rowena!

As we planned , we picked up Rowena and took her with us Craig's place to go swimming. It was a perfect day because the Sun was not out. Im glad that Rowena enjoyed it and didnt get sick at all. We wanted to go and play tennis too but we didnt have much time to spare. By the way, she's 3 months pregnant. It doesnt show yet but soon it will. She is pretty much excited about it. Shari and her kids also joined us swimming. They are all good swimmers. By the way we have this game taht we always play, we call it " Take My Breath Away". You have to hold your breath for as much as you can and then you'll win. SOund easy , but very challeging. I beat Sterling at one time by holding my breath for 2 minutes and 18 seconds. Anyway we always have a re-match game. He wouldnt stop challenging me until he wins. ha..ha.. <

Exciting Mississippi Vacation!!!

Today we headed to Meridian, Mississippi after the sacrament meeting. It was a nice day . My husband and I were so happy and full of energy. Its been two days since my surgery and I can tell that its starting to swell really bad. My husband took lots of picture of me coz he think its cute. Well anyway we are now here in Hampton Hotel and enjoying our Sunday afternoon. We didnt have to pay because its being paid already by his company. Tomorrow we will go to Jackson, MS and we should be in Hattiesburg by night time. We are both thrilled because we miss our family so much. Its going to be a long vacation for us, but the good thing is Sterling doesnt have to take some time off from his job. Anyway my gums are still hurting ( I have stitches,on both side of my mouth so I can only eat soup and other soft , easy to swallow food) so I guess I better let you go. I'll try to write some more and update you as often as I can. But I tell you, this week would be an exciting one. Alrighty, have a good night folks! I'll see yah later! !!!

ORAL SURGERY SUCCESSFULLY DONE

Yesterday morning we headed to my dentist's clinic to have my 4 wisdom teeth removed. My husband Sterling accompanied me throughout all the day. He took off from work and patiently waited till the oral surgical operation was over. HE was inside the room when the nurses sedated me. I cried literally when they poked me like 6 times on different parts of my arms before they got a good vein in action .They used butterfly syringe which doesnt work for me very good. So after several times of trying , I was about to back out when they finally got one. I felt like Im "pin cushion".Sterling and I offered a prayer and so it went sucessfully. After the sedation, I cant even recall what took place. He even told me that they couldnt wake me up and so Sterling had to carry me and put me on a wheelchair. The next time I know , I was on our bed. And all that I needed was by my side , medicines , food that he had cooked , fresh juice , and even my favorite bath and gave me backrubs. And he made sure that I m provided for, he would ask me if there anything more he can do for me. His simple gestures of love makes me feel good inside.Im thankful for everything he does for me. Oral surgery here is not cheap at all. The dentist estimated everything , and we were shocked. Its about a couple of thousand and more. But the good thing is we have a very reliable and good insurance. It paid eighty percent of it including the medications we have to buy at Walgreens. We feel loved and blessed for that. Our prayers was indeed answered. One of the blessings I am thankful for is my ever loving husband. He is so caring and thoughtful in anyway. I couldnt ask for more and everyday I keep on falling in-love with him.I just cant help it. Just like the other day, we were listening to our favorite song and he held my hand and said" May I dance with you my princess?".And we dance the whole song before we went swimming. He is very sweet and I know from the beginning that he is the one for me. He is such a good person not just to me but to other people. He always makes me happy and I can always feel a piece of heaven in my heart whenever Im with him. I love you Sterling!

* My four wisdom teeth was laying sideways so Dr. Howlett took 2 hours or so to get it all out. The two teeth was broken and so they were able to salvaged only two of them. I told them I want those two for remembrance and so they cleaned it and gave it to my husband.My gums are still bleeding and swelling, but the good thing is when we go down to Mississippi for the reunion , I 'll be able to eat good food and not be sluggish and feel weak. Maybe we'll pig-out....hmmnnn on the otherhand maybe not. he..he..

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!

This is indeed, a very special day for all the people in the world who are celebrating Father's Day in any way , culture or beliefs. I just want to greet my DAD who is in Dallas now with my other relatives. I called him today and it was very good feeling that I felt. I also greeted my uncles and some friends and of coarse my loving husband Sterling. Although , we're not sure if he is going to be a father soon or not. But eventhough , when were still dating , both of us , we already started greeting and sending cards/gifts for father and mother's day . WE cant wait though to be parents.

My Family in Dallas-Forth Worth Texas

Our Temple Date

It was so nice to go and visit the temple today . We were so excited to see the Nashville Tennessee temple. Its our goal to go there on a regular basis at least like once a month. Its not easy but we know it can be done when put on our list of priorities. Anyway , can you see Moroni on Liz' head? I thought it was a funny picture. Liz wanted it full body shot and I told her thats what I did. I tricked her!! She was ticked off when she finally downloaded the pictures. I told her it was cute though . Well...she cant afford to get mad at me anyway!!!!

Another Busy Week!!!!!

Its another lazy Monday!!!!!. Now I understand why lots of people dont like this day at all. Anyway starting today till Friday we will be out of Nashville area again. We dropped by to Jackson and attended Devin's 1st birthday. It was fun and exciting. They had it at Chuckee E Cheeses. After that we headed to Tupelo Mississippi. It was quite a ways going there, but its alright! We stayed at Jameson Inn for the night. We were so tired.Tomorrow we are bound to go to Memphis and probably stay there for few days. Tuesday.Tonight we are now at Fairfield Inn Marriot. It was a nice motel! We went to their whirpool and swimming pool. It was fun! The funny thing is I am wearing my maternity swimsuit already and Im not pregnant yet. Well, the reason is I cant find anything that is pretty decent at Old Navy . So , I guess I didnt have any choice! he..he.. Wednesday. Oh well today Sterling and I will go to Arkansas and should be back in the afternoon.
