Hi Jared!

We're back! We had such a great time in Texas. I don't get to see my family too often, so it was such a treat to hang out with everyone. We basically ate Filipino food, chatted and laughed all week long. Hillsy and I decided to host next year's Thanksgiving reunion, I'm so excited. Now I just need to figure out how to fit the entire family in our home.

It's always a shock to see my nieces and nephews - sort of a reminder that I'm actually getting older. Jared, my 12 year old nephew (much too wise for his age) took me aside and said - hey, how come you never mention me on your blog... well Jared, here you go! Thanks for making me and Jonathan laugh this week and I can't wait to see you next time!!!!

PS. Karen, I'm in love with Edward Cullen!!! I think I'm going to finish the book on Day 3.
