A Day at the Tos!

A house is not a home until Ceci has something to do with it. She and Wayne invited me to their place in Elk Grove to hang out for the weekend, so I made the drive up from SF to do so. I was instantly welcomed and felt completely at home (maybe too at home) with the atmosphere the Tos created. I didn't want to leave at all! Here are some random shots of the day. Enjoy!

And as always, PLEASE COMMENT! :)

I loved the colors that she used, each room had different character and feel. How different it is from the way our parents choose to decorate their homes -- purely functional, none of it aesthetic.

I really wish I had gotten Lucy to look through that window.

The top picture is a corner of the frame that holds their wedding invitation.

Ceci put out fresh fruit and made me and Wayne bird seed toast with almond butter and honey, while she was busily making banana bread.

Ceci got this mixer way before she got married and had her own home. Who knew that it would fit perfectly in her kitchen? She did, of course.


Lucy! Such an adorable, fun-loving dog. She actually liked me! I think it's because I smelled like lamb curry and naan. Mmmm...

My gracious hosts. Two of my most favorite people in the world. Thank you for a weekend of fun, encouragement and refreshment. So thankful to the Lord for you guys!

Julia and Wouter's Wedding

One of my favorite God-fearing couples got married in DC over the weekend! I met them in China during my time teaching English at T.I.P (Total Immersion Program) in Beijing. Their story  is such a testament to the faithfulness of those who fear Him and wait for His timing. I've never seen two people love and serve our Lord better together and all the while doing it with such love and adoration toward one another. YOU GUYS GIVE ME HOPE! =)

Love you both!
