For years we've been fortunate to be invited to the Cambodian New Year celebration at a local Cambodian Church. It's a joy filled, delicious, fun event with so many great memories for the girls. This year Sofia brought her boyfriend Elliott and they all participated in various games and activities and enjoyed the great food! I'm so grateful to my dear friend Sophana Kim for always including us in this wonderful Spring celebration.

Crawfish Town USA
I went to Louisiana for a conference and added a weekend with my family--it's the first time in years and years I'd gone alone. I had a great time visiting with my friend Renee and family in Baton Rouge, then with everyone at "home" in Lafayette. On my drive to Lafayette, from Baton Rouge I stopped at CRAWFISHTOWNUSA! May I say, it was absolutely delicious--I ate a super fresh fried crawfish po'boy, and drank an ice cold beer, woo hoo! It's the Henderson exit, 1/2 mile off the highway if you ever get the chance.

Our personal college tour
My parents were in town this weekend. We had a chance to spend some time together so long as we worked around the busy social calendar of two teenage girls. On Saturday morning, before the girls could slip off we took a little drive to see UTDallas and walk around the campus. We pulled up and it looked SO different from what it was when I took classes there. It seems a lot less "commuter school", especially now that they are building a dorm, 700 freshmen will be moving in to the state of the art residence hall in Fall 2009--including my little girl. We're so proud of and happy for her--UTD offered her a 4 year full tuition and fees scholarship, and $2,000 on-campus housing allowance. It will be nice to have her close by, yet on her own too. May will be here before you know it!

Thank You Mom and Dad!
I'm not much of a shopper. About the only time I dedicate to shopping is during the holidays. Once I'm out and about though I seem to find all sorts of goodies that I'm secretly hankering for. It was so much fun to go back to one of my favorite stores after Christmas (Whole Earth Provision Company rocks!) and buy something for moi! No heels, no pointy parts, just earthy crunchy comfortable cuteness! May I add that they are very warm and pretty much match everything I own!!!! Thanks Mom and Dad!Sunday, January 04, 2009
Book with Wings
I got a bunch of books for Christmas!!!! I already finished the first one, The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb. All this free time after Christmas allowed me to do a lot of relaxing, ie reading. Shawna gave me two books, I've already started one...it's about a knitting club and I'm totally into it already! All you booklovers, check out the website goodreads.com, and if you enroll let me know and we can add each other as a friend. It's a cool way of learning about new books, rating books, seeing what your friends are reading, etc. www.goodreads.com/review/list/902823?shelf=currently-reading
I did make time last Sunday to have an art date with myself. I went to The Modern Museum in Fort Worth, where I snapped a pic of one of my favorite pieces there (Book With Wings, Anselm Kiefer). I've been getting out and about snapping pictures, and enjoying the cool weather.
