I think I am Persian now!

This weekend, Stesha and I flew down to California to my brother-in-law's wedding! It was a fantastic event. There was music and dancing all night long. Stesha and I got to play dress up and it was great! There was a lot of Persian being spoken and it almost felt like we were back home! (Okay, it's not like I have ever been there, but according to my brother-in-law, Mo, he felt like he had returned to the homeland!) We met new family members and found some lifetime friends. One thing I have discovered, is when you are married into a Persian family, you have a large extended family and you are welcomed with open arms! Next week, it's off to Math Camp for me!

An Anniversary of sorts

Today, David and I took a day trip to the beach. It was our seventh anniversary the 26th of June. It's hard to believe that it has been seven years. This is the rough time...we have been through so much crisis over the last five years, now we try to survive through the healthy times. Sometimes, believe it or not, that is more difficult than surviving through the sick times. It is weird that the kids aren't around. Simon just celebrated his 13th birthday yesterday and we weren't there. He is with his mother in Arizona. Adam and Stesha come home from the Mexico Mission Trip tomorrow, then Adam leaves on Tuesday. Our house soon becomes the rotating door for kids. It was noce to take a drive today. It was warm and beautiful outside. I took a nap on the way to Lincoln City, we ate at Mo's, a tradition for us, stopped at the candy striped store (for one 2 pieces of sea foam!!) and we chatted on the way home. We don't often have those times. So, now we are on to the next seven years...until then!
