Meet Our Neighbors

Today Ligaya and I went to church with Shelby (2nd from left) who lives above us with her buddy Jody (far left). They are friends from Francis Schaeffer's L'Abri in Switzerland and we enjoy getting to know them over a cup of tea at our place.

Ice, Ice,...

On Friday I had the priviledge to don the striped shirt at our church's high school and college group broomball tournament. The best part was that I made and enforced the rules.

I liken it to a quote by the famed Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura who said, "It is my way or the other way."

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!

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:))
