Chateau de Leung

Saturday night, we had all four walls cleaned, scrubbed and spackled. I was hoping just to have the walls primed for Sunday night's dinner party...but Joycie was very ambitious and wanted to paint also.

We got home from church on Sunday, wolfed down our Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers, watched the end of the Colts/Steelers game and started working at 1PM. By 5PM, we TSP'ed, primed, painted and cleaned up the dining room. To put things into perspective, it took us 3 days to do the same thing with our master bedroom.

We then quickly assembled our dining table and dining chairs. Those darn IKEA furniture may look nice, but can we a PAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNN to put together. Down to the 11th hour, (6:30 to be precise), we had the house pristine and ready to be opened to the public. The food was baking in the oven. I just had enough time to change from my work clothes into my church clothes...and "DING-DONG!!!"

The Lee's, Louie's and Hsu's arrived with chairs, food and dessert...rarin' to go!! A most wonderful night of food, prayer and share. Kinda weird though...when they get together, all they talk about is raising kids and stuff. Joyce and I were staring at them thinking, "Did we just age 10 years in a matter of 10 minutes?"

We invited them over for dinner, but more importantly, they were here to bless and christen our house.

Chateau de Leung is officially opened for business!!!!


Kinda depressing when Yao Chung kept saying this house reminds him of his mom's house. I thought we did a pretty good job modernizing it. Hahahahhaa...guess not. And with the pitter-patter of children running around and laughter echoing in the rooms, I wonder when we'll fill those rooms with children of our own???????????
