Family Tradition #1: Christmas Tree

Passing down family tradition to our next generation is the best way to teach them their family culture and also give them the special moment to remember. One of our family traditions that we would like to pass it down to our daughter, Abigail, is the moment of joy when we all get together and decorate the Christmas Tree.

This is so priceless and unforgettable moment ever for Christmas time this year. It was Abigail’s first time helping us decorating the tree at her great-grandmother’s house. She was TOO EXCITED to help and every ornaments that she liked she put them on the tree (and the rest of them she played with them on the floor).

This one is a keepsake for sure! I took the picture with my iPhone 3GS, use the Best Camera App (you can find the app at Apple Apps Store) and edited it. Then the scrapbook layout, I made with My Memories Suite v.3. All the paper, elements, journaling tag, and frame are from My Memories Collections. The font I used for the journaling is Adler, you can download it here for FREE.

What is your family tradition?

Less Than 60 Days

Remember what I told you yesterday? It would be withing 60 days, believe it or not ,but I got it today. I am holding my new Green Card now!

So thankful, so excited, and so amazed with what has happened in my life one day at a time God shows his faithfulness. I believe that he has perfect plan for me to be a permanent resident but I know well that it is not all about being in this comfort zone forever.

Live and learn, then go and teach, be the witness of what God has done in and through our life, that’s the main goal of mine and my family.

Be God all the glory and honor!

An Answer To A Prayer

“Congratulations! Your request for the removal of the conditional basis of your permanent resident status has been approved. You are deemed to be a Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States…”

That is the very first line of the notification letter that we got today on our mail from The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. After waiting, hoping and praying for 2 months and 1 week since my fingerprinting, we finally got the answer to our prayer today. One more proof shows that God is faithful, never fail and God is at work in our life. I will receive the card within 60 days. I can’t wait to have it!

Let’s praise God and give thanks to him for this answer to our prayer with us!

We especially would like to give thanks to:
1. ALL of you who faithfully have been praying with us since the beginning of the process of the renewal of my Green Card.
2. Our family and friends who were willing to submit the letter that show that we are a legit, committed, solid couple and family.

Thank you for all your supports!

Cook Out With Andrew & Grace

Dave, Abigail, Grace and Andrew... where's Helen? I was the photographer =)

It was a little bit cloudy in the Saturday morning and we had this plan “Cooking Out Indonesian Food” with our friends, Andrew and Grace. The weather changed. It turned the day to be quite sunny and warmer. Then we started the Satay-palooza! Always there’s a first time for everything, right? So, it was our first time Satay Grilling Day!
