On Sunday, we had church as usual. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. We had made plans with my parents to go up to Norwell, MA to visit some family friends, the Nelsons. Annie is from Taiwan and Carl is from Massachusetts. They were in our ward in Warwick about 16 years ago or so. Anyway, that's where we met them. They have been living in MA for most of the time we have known them. They bought their new house a couple years ago in Norwell and its gorgeous. Annie started her own company a while back. Its a school that teaches English to Asian students. I believe that they have since branched out and started teaching English to other nationalities. They have made a fortune off this company. They are basically self-made millionaires...but they are so humble you would never know it unless you went to their house and heard of all the exotic places they have vacationed at. They now have two kids (the oldest is almost 16-Ian- and the youngest-Kayla-is 13 or 14). They are the sweetest kids ever. They are so good with Landon and Caden. I know at that age, I was not interested in hanging out with little kids. I didn't even like little kids until I had my own. Anyway, they are super smart kids, with really great personalities.
The reason for our visit was because Carl's son from a previous marriage was bringing his girlfriend over to meet the family. Since Annie is not super close to Chris, they wanted to invite us since we have met him on multiple occasions and dad took him to a Def Leppard (I think) concert since Carl wasn't available to take him. (I know...my dad at a rock concert...hilarious). Anyway, Chris' girlfriend was so sweet. She's from France and was in Massachusetts as an Au Pair for a former Boston Bruins player. She was also going to school out here (that's where she and Chris met). I believe she is heading back to France to finish up school now. But before that, she is heading to Hawaii for a little vacation. For dessert she made some fantastic crepes! She was supposed to email me the recipe, but she might have forgotten...I'll have to ask Annie. For dinner we had some yummy steak and lobster...I LOVE lobster. The missionaries were there too. After dinner and dessert, we had a spiritual message that was shared by the missionaries. Julie is not a member and Chris is inactive. However, she seems very interested in the Gospel since she doesn't agree with some of the Catholic beliefs. I'm glad to see that she showed interest. It might make Chris more inclined to getting back to the church. Not to mention the fact that she is fantastic and would make a wonderful member. It was another fun night hanging out with friends and eating fabulous food.
