Joke's on me
I miss you guys! It's always a bit sad knowing the whole family is together without us, but we are glad Michelle doesn't have to feel that way now! Also, thank you for obliging us with a reunion in Utah, we are so grateful! It's extremely exciting knowing we're coming home to a reunion.
I just thought I'd tell you a funny story. Remember how I told you people tell us "it's okay" that we had a girl first, because we can have more kids and hopefully we'll have a boy next? Well, we were having dinner with some friends last night and they were making jokes about how we had a girl first. Apparently, my Chinese name "Jiǎo-dí" sounds very similar to "welcome little brother," or in other words "I hope I have a boy next." Everyone cracked up when they found out that's my name. I guess it's more funny when you're Chinese, because I wasn't too amused but they thought it was hilarious.
Oh, and I now have pigeon and frog to add to my list of strange things I've eaten. Justin also has crawfish. All were delicious.

She's Coming!
It only took me about 2 hours to put it together but Michelle will make it to Dulles airport tomorrow night at 6:28 PM ET. She will only have to go through Denver and Minneapolis but she will be here for graduation! Yippee! Here is a cute picture of me transferring information from Michelle to the Delta representative. It is a good thing we have plenty of phones around here! :)

I'm getting bored!
So, I guess it just wasn't meant to be, you know my awesomely planned trip to be with you all. I hold a slight annoyance towards Delta airlines, but I will eventually forgive them. I feel calm but sad (sad is probably not descriptive enough...I have had a few tears over it) not to be with all of you, but I can't help but think it was an answer to my own prayers or more just Heavenly Father looking out for me and my baby. Who knows. Life sometimes deals out undesired outcomes, that though may be a blessing are hard.
I am feeling good, and so struggle greatly not accomplishing great things while I am all alone. I tried watching a movie which took me all day. I kept pausing it to do something that seemed more worth while. I tried reading a book (the one I bought to read on the airplane), read my scriptures, wrote in my journal, cleaned the playroom (sitting down of course), washed the wet towls my children threw in the pool last Friday and left to mold in my Laundry room (not a pretty smell), swept my floor, took out the trash (it was very light), and picked up a little. It still feels like I didn't do much today which is what I am suppost to do I guess. The thing is...it is all still clean...ahh weird...what am I going to do tomorrow. Maybe I'll venture out to see some friends. I'm sure I will call you all tomorrow just as many times as I did today. I love you and wish I was with you!

A very wet day
We will blog with more details soon but today was awesome but very wet! We started the day with grandma and grandpa in Kirtland. I can imagine that the thing they will remember the most is how much the boys ate. HOLY COW! Anyway, we finished the tour this morning and headed out. It was an amazing visit which will talk about later!
After that we drove for about 3 hours to Niagra Falls. It was worth the drive and ever cent we paid. It was awesome! We took a boat ride to see the falls but little did we know that we weren't going to just see them. Instead we got to truly experience them. It was incredible! And we were very glad for the ponchos provided. We also got to go and walk down on some platforms at the bottom of the falls. They called it 'hurricane platform'. The name pretty much says it all. The falls were breathtaking--absolutely one of natures most beautiful creations. After the falls we headed east for about 45 minutes to a KOA between the falls and Palmyra where we will visit tomorrow. KOA is now hooked up with wifi which makes vacations much more possible for us! We got our new tent set up, ate a little food, and now are just listening to it rain, rain and rain some more (and watch Madagascar 2). I think I've had enough wet for the day. I hope our tent hold up to the challenge and that we don't get the hail that has been forecasted.
It has been a wet but incredible day!
