Movie, Homework and Friends... Oh My!

Last night we saw one more movie. This time it was "The Bourne Ultimatum". This one was FANTASTIC!!! Now, I think we are all caught up on movies for a bit until Shrek 3 comes out. (It isn't out here yet)

Yesterday we got a fun homework assignment in our Danish class. We have to write a paper about Marge and Homer Simpson. Our teacher said we could do it however we wanted as long as we talked about what they look like,their personalities and their clothes (Because those are the most recent chapters we have done) So we decided, I will write about Marge, and Michael will write about Homer. This should be fun and challenging. We can read a ton of Danish, we can understand a lot, but writing gets tricky. I can come up with all the words, but for some reason I guess I know it will be easier to judge my danish if it is written. And that is intimidating.

Check out this picture. This is my good friend Anthony Weeks. We have been good pals since 8th grade. He is in the Army right now and got his two sweet precious daughters matching flight suits to his and got some pictures done. I thought it turned out so sweet that I had to share! Plus, I know several of my loyal readers know Anthony as well and might enjoy seeing him all grown up with his daughters.

If this doesn't melt your heart, I don't know what will

Whew, busy busybusy.

What a busy busy week I have had back here in Texas!! El Paso was fun, but short. Saw lots of family, saw lots of friends. It was hard to cram everyone in because during the days everyone was busy and in the evenings I had to get to as many people as I could. Thank goodness that my older brother Mark was able to skip away for lunch on Tuesday and that on Wednesday and Thursday my good friend Robert was able to babysit me. Without them I would have been bored out of my mind during the days. Friday I spent the morning and afternoon packing and cleaning and going to the airport. The week went by fast but I got to see a decent amount of my brother Joe, and My sis and her fam, and even got to spend a little time with my nephew who will be 21 in a couple months! YIKES. Of course I got to see tons of my mom and Sharon too :) I kept my dinners open to spend with them and we had lots of yummy food.

I got back Friday night and Michael and I pretty much crashed after dinner. We both had a busy week. World Tai Chi and Qigong day was on Saturday and I had a really good time there. Despite the fact that it made me really miss the Tai Chi Community here. This morning I had a lesson with Master Chen Bing who was visiting from China. He is absolutely gorgeous while doing his form work, and it was amazing to be able to train with him. He was genuinely nice as well. As you all should know, Tai Chi is really slow movements, but while training with him I was dripping with sweat. It was intense, but I certainly got a lot of great stuff from the lesson.

Michaels mom and step dad came to see us on Saturday and we spend the afternoon and evening with them as well as Sunday afternoon. It was great to see them and we were so glad that they made the drive to see us. We even got to see our old Blazer which was fun :)
