Jason and Ressa, Off To China and Wedding Pictures


Yesterday we dropped Jason and Ressa off at the airport for the experience of a lifetime. They are going to teach english in an elementary school in a town in China. If you want to follow their journey this is their blog address.     To live will be an awfully big adventure   They are on their way to Hong Kong first to visit with Jason's Uncle and Aunt. They will spend  a few days there seeing the sights then on to China.We are so excited for them but will really miss them. Ressa has never been far from home. Even when she went to college it was a long time if we didn't see her for two weeks. We would talk on the phone several times a week. They found out yesterday afternoon that their apartment may not have internet so Skyping regularly may not work either.

We got the pictures back from the wedding. There are some really good ones. Here is just a sampling.

Jason what posing for his parents when we told the photographer to take a shot.
He is silly at heart.

Ressa took this dress from being sleeveless and very low to  modest. She did all the altering herself.

What a beautiful couple, inside and out!

Some of the center pieces. We needed a filler around the vase of flowers but had to have some color. What better way to add color than gumballs.
I love gumballs!  They make me smile. :)
                         

I was told this setup with pintrest worthy. What a great compliment!  The Hot Chocolate Bar turned out great and looked beautiful. I recommend having a tray under the Hot Chocolate dispenser. There are bound to be those that spill. Of a few small cloths with plastic under them to save the table cloth. You can change out the cloth as it gets dirty.
If anyone wants the labels just email. I would love to save someone time.

What do you do at a reception? Drink hot chocolate,

Walk around in Mom's shoes,

and play in the flower boxes.

Preview of Tonga

Image
A few weeks ago, Deanne and I went to preview the land of Tonga before we bring the kids back later this month. What an incredible place with incredible people!  We met some very generous friends on the beach who shared their fresh seafood dinner with us. Sea urchin just doesn't get any fresher than this!!  Not that we have had sea urchin before to compare...  Fabulous blow holes... Fresh coconut juice... Freshly picked papaya for breakfast.... Sunsets on the beach that is a 5 minute walk from the property we are leasing...  Then we came home to this.  Like we needed any more convincing to go back!

The Power of Love

We have been playing music for Casey in hopes of facilitating greater healing of his brain. We have read studies and heard stories of people that played classical music, specifically Beethoven's Symphony Number 9. Today I turned on the station and beautiful rendition played. It brought a greater peace and calm to the room. I pondered on my desire to one that can help heal through light and peace. A song came on that changed the vibration in my soul to a greater level.  (I don't know how to describe the feeling but listen and feel what is going on inside of you as you play different kinds of music. It may take a few times but you will feel it.) I looked down to see what the song was. The title of the album was The Power of Love. A flood of thoughts came to my mind. The power of Christ's love heals all things. EVERYTHING! I looked at Casey and told him that it is through Jesus Christ and his atonement, which is pure love, he will be healed. I was filled with that love and a s...

We Have the Ultimate Responsibility

This is long but well worth the education. There is a concerted effort to strip us of our right and responsibility to parent our children and turn it over to social workers and government entities. There are groups that have been fighting these efforts as most of us as Americans are blind to what is going on.The UN is putting great pressure along with the Obama administration for our government to ratify a treaty taking away our rights as parents of healthy and special needs children in two different bills.We are headed in the same direction as the country of Scotland and Germany.
