Lucky China


Whenever we get the chance, Ryan and I take off up to West Haven, Utah to spend some time with my Aunt and Uncle, Vickie and Rod.  They are a hoot!  We have adopted them as pseudo parents (whether they like it or not) and truly enjoy the relaxing, familiar, and warm atmosphere we feel in their beautiful home. 

Saturday afternoon we decided to brace the cold, hop in a chilled car and find a yummy place to hunker down for lunch.  Costa Vida is the usual choice, but we decided to branch out and try a well-known China Bistro, aka “Lucky China.” 

Ryan and I have been weighed down with stress.  And there have been both happy and disappointing happenings in our life right now. 

The happy: Ryan was asked to interview in Maryland at the Uniformed Services School of Medicine on Valentine’s Day!!  Hip Hip Hooray! And an answer to months of prayers.

The disappointing: After a very promising discussion with my manager at work, it turns out I will NOT be hired on full-time. 

But it is time to practice taking on the bad with the good, and the good is extremely good! 

At the end of our Chinese food adventure, we opened our fortune cookies to find….   


At this point, we take what we can get.  And our "lucky" fortunes made us excited for the rest of the day :)
