Huy and Holli Wedding

Huy and Holli officially became H2DO on May 18th in Malibu at Calamigos Ranch. Sogo and I got to "co-officiate" which was a great way to ruin a wedding - we didn't mess it up too much. Part of the fun was just seeing all of our friends from my college ministry days, Mariners Church, Rock Harbor... and everyone in between. Great location and some memorable picts here.

IT's A...

Make Your Prediction Now!

So....tomorrow is the big day. We hope to find out "Special K's" gender identity with our 20 week ultrasound and check up. I could've found out last week with a secretive ultrasound my doctor was willing to do, except Erin was missing! Post your comment as to what you think we're having and we'll post later with the exciting news!

*Just a baby update: I am feeling great! Definitely looking pregnant now with a "baby bump", although not too prominent yet. Baby K is moving quite often and I feel the little kicks and jabs daily now...what an amazing feeling! Can't wait for Erin to feel the baby soon. My OBGYN doctor is wonderful. He loves the Lord, has a Christian practice and comes highly recommended from several friends and parents (of my students). He even attends Saddleback! God is good! :-)

Clarines Memorial and Picnic

After my trip to Orlando all week for work, I hopped on a two prop engine plane at LAX and flew up to Redding, CA to celebrate the life of my step-grandmother, Clarine Westlie. She was the only Grandmother I ever knew on my mom's side. She had married my Grandfather Winston before I was born - he passed away in 1995.

Sandy, Clarine's daughter, was kind enough to ask me to perform the service. I hadn't seen some of this side of the family since I was 10. It was really cool. So at the memorial, I shared a bit about my memories of Clarine and then talked about REAL HOPE. That because God hates separation, he makes sure we never have to be separated from Him - even with death... because of Jesus (John 14.2-7; John 5.24; Eph 3.18-19).

Clarine was well known for her sense of humor and her amazing cooking talents - apparently all the kids loved her because she was always making cookies, cupcakes and candies for her daughters' classes. She also loved to travel and really encouraged my Grandfather to see the country - I have many memories of them stopping in to visit in their RV.

We shared some great stories of Clarine and also enjoy a picnic at Whiskeytown lake as her reception. It was beautiful and a great day to reconnect with family. The air up there is amazing.

A lot of the pictures are from the bed and breakfast my parents were at called Tiffany's - I think Joy and I might to go up there by ourselves sometime.

Joys Got A New (Used) Car

Joy and Baby K are going to be much safer and more comfortable. We just bought Nancy's (Joy's Mom) 2004 Saturn Vue. My favorite feature is the fact that it has a moon/sunroof... so sweet.

So we are going to have to sell Joy's faithful 1999 Honda Civic, if you know anybody who needs a solid commuter car - just comment below:).

Once I get the picture from Joy's camera I will post a picture. Thanks Nancy!
