Meeting the Shimizus

Happy Valentine's Day!

Last night we had the pleasure of finally meeting the Shimizus, Jennifer and Dean. I had been emailing with Jennifer regularly so the actual meeting kind of just seemed like a formality, as I already felt like I had known her for a while. They were nice enough to treat us to a delicious dinner at Yamabuki.

They are anxiously awaiting their travel date in March to go meet their baby girl, Sakura. It was wonderful to hear their excitement and anticipation of the journey that awaits them. It made us so excited for both of them as they were both glowing, especially Jennifer. It’s wonderful to see people’s dreams come true.

And we cannot wait for your referral and see the excitement in both of you too! Great dinner with great company, thanks so much for the BEAUTIFUL gifts for Sakura, I can hardly wait to go and get her (as you already know) and dress her up :) I'm a little biased, but I do think she is a little doll and will look adorable in all of her pretty PINK clothes!

Yes, the trip to Bergstromms was very successful...we came home the proud owners of a Bugaboo - they even had a coupon that they gave us and had the Bugaboo in stock! Thanks for the tip on the COOL store, I can hardly wait to go back! Needless to say, since we made a large investment in her stroller, we didn't get any clothes this trip, but that will change :o)

Keep the Faith, and get ready for your baby Ryan ;o) God works in mysterious ways and you just never know when it will be your turn, but it will be the right baby no matter when it comes!

Thank You again!

Looks like you guys had a great dinner! We'll also be having the Dosokai luncheon at Yamabuki. :-) Jill, did I mention to you that we'll also be in Disneyland for my birthday (April)? We should see about meeting up again.
