L.A. Aids Walk

This was in West Hollywood recently... we were there and Jamee spoke with Mr. Partridge, who was in green from head to toe! We even saw Steven Spielberg, and a bunch of other stars.

Redondo Beach

This is very near our house! Love the ocean, etc.

LDS General Conference

The first weekend in October we spent in Salt Lake City and Provo, Utah.
Great experience to attend conference, several events, and spend time with family & friends!!

These are some new shots of our new home here in L.A.

Asian dreams, California sun, and Seaworld!

We are happy to be back in the US, and glad that convention is over. That was a big project for Sunny! We went to Taiwan for a few days on our way back from Hong Kong, and have been loving the weather here in L.A.! Yesterday we went to Seaworld in San Diego with Katie, Ariana, and Melissa.

babysitting

We have spent the last two weekends in Beijing, spending time inspecting a construction site. Here we are ready for quality control.

Hong Kong hello!

It is great to be in Hong Kong. We love our new harbourview apartment in the Hunghom Bay part of Kowloon. So far we have really enjoyed it and have been keeping very busy! We have an extra bedroom for guests waiting to be used...

So many babies

Yes, babies seem to be everywhere...and Sunny is now addicted to shopping for babies :)
But for some reason, it's the litle baby girls that get the most clothes ;) As Sunny's mom says, since you're their aunt, I don't need to do any shopping...now, is that a good or bad thing?
It's been great though being able to share in others' happiness vicariously while leaving the responsibility at the door.
It's also an interesting phenomenon that people keep on asking when we'll have babies now that we're married, and we just keep on thinking...wait, didn't we just get married and make the biggest decision in our lives up to this point? Marriage was over 20 years in the making, so getting to the next biggest step in our lives might take a little time (though not 20 years ;)). We probably did the same thing though and bugged our friends...it's always different when you're in the hot seat.
We know though that Alicia and Rick's baby boy will be an adorable mixie, and that Reuben & Katie's newborn Ariana is a super cutie with both Chinese & white features (we'll post pics as soon as we can). We wish everyone with little tots goodluck and lots of fun with little rest.
Oh, and in all the excitement of Ariana's birth, Reuben gave Jonathan acupunture for his sinuses...yay for super thin needles placed on painful places!

Utah Reception pics....finally!

Pics from the Amazon...caymen (alligator cousins), anaconda, monkeys, and natives!!

Pics from Sao Paulo, Brazil with Jonathan's Members...so nice and fun!

Live from Brazil!

We have enjoyed the five days in São Paulo! The time here has been spent almost totally visiting wonderful people that Jonathan worked with and met on his mission. We will publish photos on the blog soon.
We are going to the Amazon tomorrow morning, and we hope that the long airport waits are not going to affect our travel plans. Brazil has been hot and occasionally rainy.

Happy New Year to you all!

Jonathan proud of his Mandarin

We discovered on Sunday that Jonathan now knows 142 words in Chinese!

Laie Temple Pictures - 22 Nov. 2006

Laie Temple Wedding - 22 Nov. 2006

We're finally posting pics of our temple wedding in Hawaii! Sorry for the delay. Things have been hectic with planning our Utah reception (pictures soon to come), and now we're moving into our home together at Sunny's condo in Provo. Hopefully everything will get neat and organized soon and then we can have people over.
The temple ceremony was amazing, and both of us cried like babies...surprise! It was beautiful, and it was so wonderful to see both of our families there, along with friends from BYU, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Seattle. We took tons of pictures outside the temple with everyone, and even though it was raining on our drive to the temple and right when we came out, the sky cleared up and the pictures turned out great. As soon as our photographer gives us more pics, we'll post those.
We also had an amazing reception that evening with our family and friends at the Kahala Resort east of Honolulu. It was great to see everyone there and share good food, videos, dancing, and laughter. Everything seemed like a blur, and even though we had stress about our super late-showing DJ, it all went well.
We'll blog our Utah reception soon too. Enjoy the pics!

Arrived safely in Honolulu

We have arrived in Hawai'i, with family, baggage, stress, and all. We got in Sunday afternoon and have been running around doing errands and eating good Hawaiian and Asian cuisine.

delay

We apologize for the delay in posting anything new. We have pictures that will be posted soon. Only 16 days until the wedding!! WOW!
