Something in the mail...

We received another envelope from USCIS, and to our surprise, it's the advance parole (AP) papers! I got two copies of it. I'm not sure if that means I can use them to get back in the country twice. Anyways, I haven't read the papers carefully since my hubby has a test today so I went out to dinner last night with some girlfriends so he can concentrate on studying (since I'm like his big toy when I'm home).

Anyways, just want to share that news! Hopefully I won't even need it b/c I'll get my green card soooooon!

有鑒於雞屁股先生與阿P系列越寫越有趣,加上中文英文混在一起有點雜亂,所以從今日起此系列將搬到新家! 請繼續多多指教!

來去夏威夷(1) - 該去哪個島?

有鑒於雞屁股先生與阿P系列越寫越有趣,加上中文英文混在一起有點雜亂,所以從今日起此系列將搬到新家! 請繼續多多指教!

七年級生可能對金門王跟李炳輝的這首「來去夏威夷」有點印象。那俗又有力的歌詞跟MTV裡逗趣的動作,讓我當年每次在電視上看到MTV,就一定要巴在電視前跟著金門王與李炳輝一起唱到完。我那有點無厘頭的老爸如果在家的話,還會跟著我一起唱,兩人一起「來去~~」「來去~~」「咱來去go to Hawaii!」,一搭一唱的可開心的咧!

我跟「來去夏威夷」這首歌的緣分並非到此為止... 因為十年後,這首歌居然成為我們的婚禮送客音樂。

我們訂婚後,連婚禮婚宴日期都還沒選,就已經決定要去夏威夷度蜜月。我們兩個都沒去過夏威夷,但自從我認識雞屁股先生以來,老兄他就老是嚷著要趕快畢業搬去那有山有海的地方工作(德州地大,但就是沒山沒海)。這回趁蜜月旅行,怎麼能不去看看夏威夷的究竟呢?

Texas wildflowers

Last weekend my husband and I went down to the Hill Country of Texas to visit a good friend (my hubby's ex-roommate) who's living and working on his grandparent's ranch. We arrived a few weeks after the bluebonnet bloom, but we were welcomed by other beautiful wildflowers.

上周末我跟雞屁股先生開車去德州中部拜訪他的前室友。我們雖然錯過了德州州花 Bluebonnet 的盛開時期,但仍在朋友的農場上看到整片的野花。誰說德州不美?


Whoever says Texas is ugly has NOT been to Texas hill country.
