A good friend of mine, Tiffany, asked me to record her solo in her orchestra concert. This was a special event because trombones rarely have solos. It brings me back to my own experiences of sitting in the back of Clark College’s Orchestra, counting 90 measures and then trying to hit a clear, high C… “Ta TAAAAAA!”

Massage Therapy
David has always been very healing to me. His frequent foot massages helps my head pain disappear for a while. I’m so blessed to have a husband who is so generous with his love to me.

Dancing was, is, and will always be one of the pillars of our marriage. We met through dancing, competed together, and served on the board of our dance community. Good times then and to come.

Better Marriage Ice Cream
“Are you a vegetarian?” I chuckled when I heard that was one of my brother-in-law’s first date questions. However, when it came to food allergies and my dietary indifference, God worked out a great pairing for us. She enjoys Chinese food, must eat meat, and most of the things she’s allergic to, I don’t crave or enjoy.
One food that we’re both sensitive to is dairy. Thank God for coconut ice cream.

Photography is a hobby/side job that Jenni and I enjoy doing together. As a hobby, it helps us capture snapshots of our lives. The side job aspect is such a gift from God. To not only serve friends and clients and pay for a potentially expensive hobby, but to work as a team and enjoy each other’s artistry and creativity.
Special thanks to my cousin Eileen for shooting the picture.

Laundry and a Movie
Almost a weekly ritual in itself is doing laundry to a movie. Normally, Jenni washes and dries the clothes during the day, then after we put the kids to bed, we relax to a movie with two card tables and three or four baskets of laundry. Folding laundry takes a while longer if we’re watching a good movie.

Multi-day Birthdays
One tradition I’ve enjoyed since being married to Jennilyn is celebrating a birthday multiple days in a row. Our primary love language is quality time, so celebrating birthdays on multiple days allow us to dedicate one day for ourselves, one for friends, and one for family.
For my 32nd birthday, Jenni and I enjoyed a lovely walk in downtown Portland before heading out to dinner at Typhoon. The next day, we gathered with friends for dim sum and beat Super Mario Bros Wii in the afternoon. And tomorrow, we’ll see my folks for more dim sum. It’s been a great birthday!
