• random entry

  now that i have finally joined the dark side (i.e. facebook) i definitely find it harder to update my xanga.  but i decided i'm going to try - and not just update pictures, but try and do more "blogging."  being married to bobby has made me realize how much of an internal thinker i am.  it would frustrate him to no end, because if i was upset or sad, my tendency is to retreat and process things in my head, and then resurface later once i was "okay."  and for real, that's how i deal with things - and i swear i'm not repressing my emotions (i think).  but poor bobby, he likes to talk things out and process things out loud.  i'm not the best partner for doing that, and while i can go off on my own for a little bit and return feeling like things are all better, in the meantime i've left bobby alone with no one to process with and probably feeling worse that before.  but surely God's using us to grow and encourage each other.  i've become much better at talking things out, and bobby's getting better at being patient with and understanding the way i process things (and vice versa).  man, if i married an internal processor, we'd never talk things out - how boring.  and if bobby married someone like him, there'd probably be too much talking and not enough resolving!  it's so neat to think about how God uses our differences to make both of us better.
  
  true to the entry's title, moving on...i love how people express themselves down in the South.  my favorite one so far:  "to love on [someone]"  people in my church community use it a lot.  it's a way of expressing active encouragement, support, love, etc.  i think people in my church are pretty good at living this phrase out.  do you know someone who needs to be "loved on" today, and what would it look like to "love on" that particular person?
  
  next random topic:  my nomination for cutest baby cheeks goes to....(drumroll)....caleb chung!
  
  

  
  

  
  he may look like his daddy, but richard doesn't even come close to his little boy's awesome cheeks.
  
  
  moving on....I LOVE RITA'S WATER ICE and i'm soooooo happy they have come to north carolina!!!  and since the winters here ain't so harsh, i think they'll be open year-round. yay!
  
  

  
  

  
  
  look how much my kittens have grown!  (i know they're not still kittens, but that's how i will always see them.)  i was telling bobby the other day that i love each of them so much and they have such unique personalities, that if i was to ever lose them, i don't think i could get new ones.  tarzan, the one with stripes, is almost like a dog because he follows you around everywhere, likes to get attention, and sleeps on his back.  rocky, the one below, is so shy and skittish but really just wants you to love him and comes up to me meowing when he wants me to hold him and rub his belly.  not to mention that both of them come when i call their names and they sit by our bedroom door every morning waiting for us to come out.  plus, we've trained them to sit and wait for a signal before they are allowed to eat from their bowls.   i know i'm biased, but i think these are very special kitties.
  
  

   
  

  
  
  finally...i've noticed that for the last few posts, i haven't included any pictures of bobby.  i swear, i love him, i do!  so here's my token shot of my husband, taken in the hotel room at the bellagio hotel in las vegas after our week-long camping trip out west.  the hotel room was soooo luxurious - our little treat to ourselves after roughing it all week.  this is bobby posing in the ginormous closet that was part of the TV console.  for some reason, i can't help but sing the tune, "secret...asian man!"  (or is it "secret....agent man?")
  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  hmm...ok, mostly pictures and not so much blogging today...but i'll work on it...give me time.
