Pampered?

Last night I went to a pampered chef party and got this:

I love to chop things, like vegetables and other food products... not just anything.

And because I love rice, I bought this:
No more rice sticking to the bottom of the pan... and it cooks it in the microwave! How quick and easy. I had one of these (not a pampered chef one, mind you) that I bought for a dollar at a garage sale and we used it so much that the red dye of the plastic started to dye our rice red... probably not a good thing. So I have moved up in the world!

Also, check out this new gadget from Apple

The name that they decided to give it is "iPad". Really? All women are thinking... "WHAT?" and all men are clueless. What is even more funny is that there is a news headline titled "Will the iPad become your Pad? . This was obviously named by a group of men who had now idea, I think Apple should consider renaming this little guy. This is an example of where a name is already taken in the market and no matter how great, and innovative you are as a company there are just some things that you cannot replace in the minds of people.

Well, I stood long enough on my soap box. What do you think of this disturbing issue? Can you really take it seriously?

Snowless Winter...


Shouldn't winter look like this....

Instead, it is just cold and dreary. I would rather have snow, if I am going to experience winter in Colorado.

Thankfully, this is our weather forecast!


Bring it!

Two Thousand and Ten

It is hard to not add an additional zero, it is awkward to say, but it is the year we are in... so we must adjust

As I look back through the past year there were some incredible times that I saw God working clearly. Times that He completely carried our family through and times that were celebrated. I think every year is a year for learning, but as I look back on this past year, it was a significant year of change, growth, and experiences.

I know you are all just dying to see some pics and videos from my trip to Asia... so here are a few.

This video is Suz and I riding on her Moto Bike! We were searching for the Scandinavian Bakery and had some fun on the Moto while we were at it...




The first night on the beach! Gorgeous sunset...


This is Suz and I on the beach... It was Christmas Day. Perfect.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...


It was such a great trip, learning to navigate new modes of transportation... actually I think I would like to make a list of all the different modes of transportation we rode.
  1. Plane
  2. Bus
  3. High Speed Rail
  4. Tuk Tuk
  5. Taxi
  6. Elevated Rail
  7. Water Taxi
  8. Night Train
  9. Mini Truck Tuk Tuk
  10. Motorbike
  11. Speed Boat
  12. Long Tail Boat
  13. Motobike with a side trailer that we put all of our luggage and our selves in
  14. Motorbike taxis (needed two for us and all our stuff).
I think that covers just about it... Suz, if I missed any comment away!

Each one presented us with excitement and a cheap transportation.
