Sunday Review

Last night, we all went to Linda and Bill's for a BBQ dinner. Linda also invited a handful of other friends(+2 other Gold Retrievers) to celebrate Maggie's Bday! Very pleasant evening.

Fun Sunday today. We all went to Capital Seafoods this morning for yummy Dim Sum. Did a little shopping afterwards. Then R&K went to visit Shaun and have dinner with Russ's cousin in Glendora. They won't return to our house until tomorrow.

We took our girls swimming this afternoon at a local pool. Then dinner around 6:30pm. Followed by some Chinese homework. Just put the girls to bed. I am so glad this is a long weekend!

Christine returns from Las Vegas!

We are all so happy that Christine came home from her 4 day trip in Las Vegas. She said she had a great time overall except that she got some food poisoning last night or early today. I picked her up from the airport and she immediately went to bed after coming home. She was in bad shape :(

Here are some pictures.

St George Utah marathon entry

Yesterday must have been a lucky day for me. First I got to see the Ironman 2 movie through a work seminar (Good entertaining movie by the way) and then I found out that I got into the St George marathon in early October via the lottery system. I guess I was one of the lucky 7400 runners out of 11,000 registrants! So, St George here I come! On second thought, maybe I should have purchased a California super lottery ticket (another couple won $260+ million earlier during the week).

Date with Ironman 2 movie!

Well, I am quite excited this morning because I am going to a work seminar at a local movie theater (Irvine Spectrum). Then after the seminar, they will be showing the new movie "Ironman 2". How cool is that! the movie I mean.... Who cares about the seminar ;) Oops, I shouldn't say that. I will take copious notes. Who am I kidding!
