Coffee Talk

An interesting Seattleite approached me while I was at a Tully's coffee shop. This was our conversation:

Seattleite: Hey marsupial!
Phil: Huh?
Seattleite: What up homosapien?
Phil: [confused look]
Seattleite: You know…. what up man?
Phil: Okay.
Seattleite: You don’t smoke, do you?
Phil: No.
Seattleite: Bye.

A Year Ago Today...

...Ligaya and I were in Minnesota celebrating our wedding at the Peterson home. Here my mom, sister, Ligaya and I are visiting my dad's old stomping grounds in the town of Stillwater.

Minnesota is always this beautiful in the fall....well....except this year as winter has already arrived. Today the temperature is in the low 20's to mid 40's...ouch!

Cookies and Milk at Kerry Park

Ligaya's cousin (far left) from the Philippines is visiting Seattle with his R&B band. To learn more, click here: South Border

Wish you were here...

Event # 3 of Phil's Birthday: Ligaya took me on a cruise through the harbor. Enjoy the view!

Honeymooners Again!

One morning we talked with the owner and his wife for 5 hours over breakfast and a few cups of tea.
















Q: How do we look after one year of marriage?

A: Perfect!















We stayed in the balcony room at the Tayberry Bed and Breakfast. Isn't it cute?

LOOKING FORWARD TO 99 MORE YEARS OF MARRIAGE!

As of 3:46:15 PM, Ligaya and I have been married for 1 Year! We are celebrating....are you?

First Day of School

Phil had his first day of his church history class at Fuller Seminary on Monday.

Happy Birthday, Phil!

Our festivities began with a dinner with my brother, Josh, and his wife, Bekah. Papa, Mama, and Ty (Bekah's brother) came over for dessert. This picture was taken the moment Phil realized what I had made--His favorite dessert! (recipe compliments of Mom Peterson:))

From 26 to 27 in one day....amazing.

....AFTER.

A Fran-tastic Time!

Highlights: Tea at the Butchart Gardens (Victoria, BC), picnic at Green Lake (Seattle, WA), and dinner at the Durias Home (Philippines, WA).
