Love is amazing, Don't you agree?!

Today is a day full of joy

A boy who got adopted this Monday

back to the Orphanage for a short visit today

We are blessed to be there to hug him

cheer for him

and say goodbye to him

He run to his MAMAs(Ayi who taking care him in the Orphanage) in Orphanage with such a big smile on his face

They hold him, kiss him, asked him' how's everything going?'

Suddenly

He started crying, he is so sad to leave his MAMAs

My eyes started to 'sweat' from that moment

He is not in my class

but he always hug me and wave at me

and talk to me when he saw me passing by

He is so optimistic

He is happy all the time

He is a great helper in his class

He is a good 'brother' to his roommates

He is a great joy to his new family

I know he is in good hand

I know it is very hard for all the Ayi,

But he has a family now!

Scott told me a detail when we on the way back

one of his MAMA told him:' You are a little man now,

you should help your parent, picking up socks for them,

help them carry things, taking care mom, you have to love them, listen to them, be a good kid'

Oh, my eyes sweating now again...

What a great heart they have

What a kind thought they own

I just want to write this to thanks all the Orphanage workers and Adopting parents

Your love is amazing

Your love make kiddos felt special

Thank you for let me being a part of your work

It is amazing what you doing for all the Orphans
Family is amazing

Love is amazing

Don't you agree with me?!

Much Love

Road trip to Xi'an

Last week, Scott and I went on a road trip to the middle of China, Xi'an

We camped in the Tai Bai Mountain

It was beautiful there

The place we camp on the mountain, the sky was breath taking

Beautiful sun set in the mountain

The road we drove up to the top was crazy, all kinds of turning...

Hey! Never Quit! That's my man

Thanks to Debbie bring our matching shirt!!!!

Fresh air, nice place to pray and think

The waterfall in the mountain, matching shirt couple

So blessed to have a nice hotel to stay in after the long hour driving and camping! SHOWER!!!

From our hotel window, we could see the old city wall of Xi'an

The night pic from our hotel window... 

When I was a student in school, I know Terra-Cotta Warriors for long time in book, I saw the real one that day!!!

I am excited to see my hometown name showing in another city!!! BAOTOU

Look at that smile on my hubby's face, wish there is a SUBWAY in Baotou 

Well, this lady is tired and hot... and do not want to walk anymore...

A peak from the Xi'an city life... grandpa is so cute on the scooter...


We thank our Father in heaven for this trip
We grateful for the relaxing time after busy working
I am so thankful for my hubby taking me on the trip
I love being married
I love living a life under HIS plan
No worries

PS: Pray for our friend Catie have safe and fun trip in the south of China, we had fun seeing you in Xi'an

Much love

Goals

I know it is kind of weird to talk about goals in my first post...
Yeah... I know... 
maybe it comes with some grammar mistakes too...
Well...
I think writing a blog may help me to improve my English writing...

I am Gloria 
I am happily married to my hubby for 8 month now... 
This is related to my goals... trust me...
I am a teacher, and half-housewife

My hubby and I have been on a short vacation to another province
in China
You do not usually drive to someplace, either you take the train or you fly...Well, I mean you fly in a plane...

But for my hubby, he is not a LOCAL person, he like to drive
we talked about our GOALs during the long hour driving

Before our vacation started, my other half ask me what do I want to accomplish during the vacation
I wrote him an email
I said I want to go travel outside the Baotou
I said I want to rest
I said I want to work on my cross-stich
After he read this, he just laughed and laughed...
Vague, if you want to use this word...

So we talked again in the car...
We always have 3 goals when one is accomplished we fill it with another one, so we can always working on something

1. Be Healthy
I used to play tennis and work out when I was in School
After I dating, married... 
I felt like I am becoming a couch potato...
So I will start running with our dog, Oscar. Deal...

2. Be a good wife
I do not mean that I am a bad wife... if you ask Scott...
but I do not think I am used to the housewife role yet...
I have to take good use of time, take care my hubby and house
Be Willing and NOT Complain
From full-time teaching to part-time teaching...
I have no reason to say I have no time now...
So Just do it!

3. Orphanage
I have been volunteer there for 3 month now
Which I will continue and do a good job there
I think kids taught me a lot things
The most important one is to have a Big Heart
you can say, a Bigger Heart
to love others first, care others first
to forgive others

Well... Summer here almost finished...We have to get ready for the new semester soon
