第一個在西岸冬天

西洛杉磯的冬天非常的溫和客氣，除了雨多，簡直舒適極了。轉眼間已到2011年2月，明天就是中國農曆兔年，物換星移，然而過去三年中，每年此時匹茲堡的冰風暴仍在記憶深處迴盪。

Golden Highland Park in November

Today I took a short afternoon walk in our neighborhood. It was a beautiful, crisp fall afternoon. 空氣是靜止的，幾乎透明。天空再度湛藍。銀杏樹仍然漫天張揚著豐盛的、金黃色的葉子,其他樹則早用清脆的落葉厚厚鋪滿地面來慶祝秋天。 柔軟而毛茸茸的蘆草在陽光下隨風搖曳，秋天的小蟲成群逆光飛行，我還看見松鼠忙著收集果實，穿梭電線杆上。多家工人開始檢查屋頂，或摟聚落葉成堆。一切很安靜。順天應人。這是豐收的時節。也是停下腳步反思一年時光的時刻。而這會不會是我在匹茲堡的最後一個秋天呢？

First ever 5K race in my life

I started talking about joining this race a week ago, and Steve seemed to be interesting too. However, when we woke up on the Saturday morning at 7:45am, it became a fanatic rush on our way from home to the starting station. When we arrived the station, the long racing team had already left 5 minutes ago. We registered, put on the timing chip on the shoe, and started to run and try to catch up the procession. However, we ran into the wrong direction, and on our way to go back to get a map, the first runner had arrived the ending point like a hero and received everyone's claps. Ai~~till now, Steve decided to give up and looked a little bit upset for that morning! But for me, it was the first ever 5K race experience in my life and still needed to be recorded!! Looking forward to the next run!!

DC trip

There are always so much to see in DC. I love the buildings and sculptures around mall area, but the biggest problem is the traffic is always horrible... ;P

DC trip

去花房

This is our favorite place in Pittsburgh and once in a while we need to visit it again;) Today Steve is giving himself a shower of cool mist in the garden.

疾病的省恩

這半年來身體狀況不是很好，常常有一些意想不到、也從來沒生過的小病、大病發生在身上。漸漸地，發現自己越來越怕生病，一旦有生病的徵候，就開始想很多，擔心很多。記得結婚前的自己好像比較不會這樣，生病就生病，有一種天不怕地不怕的灑脫，可是似乎婚後，讓人擔心的事越來越多，也許因為現在的生命線已經與另一個人緊緊地交纏在一塊，有了不一樣的責任與牽掛，不再是只為自己活，而是自己的幸福與健康，也是那麼深切地牽動著另一個人的幸福。哎，這是好大的責任，但這實在不是人的誓言可以保證的，只有靠著神的恩典與憐憫方能體會，婚姻實在是建立在神的救恩之上的。

Fiddler on the roof

Steve帶我去這家在Street District的Irish 餐廳，他們的fish & chips 都超大份量也非常好吃，還有專業樂手現場表演喔！
