Only in Vegas...

Tao Beach Pool Party - Vegas Baby!!!!

Only in Vegas is it appropriate to hold hands and skip around in a circle in the lobby of a fancy hotel

Ciao Liam...

Liam's first trip to Italy and he gets a ride from his Aunt Julie in Zia Anna's bike

I had fun with you on the ferris wheel at Kemah, Aunt Julie!

Aunt Julie...

                            

Aunt Julie is the best! She's always there for us and spoiling us rotten! Remember how you came trick or treating with us even though it was a work night?

  Aunt Julie - we always love getting to see you with Mackie and Ellie!

Pam says Ni hao...

I included a picture of Julie with a rather confusing sign!

Julie and I in Taiwan....I went to visit her there in 2009 and it was such a fabulous, trip of a lifetime for me!  The first of us climbing a tea pot in Lulei (not sure on the exact spelling here), a town near where Julie taught and famous for tea growing (obviously).  :) 

General Tso's Hospital- good times in Taiwan

The final ones are from our most recent trip to NYC and DC. 

I LOVE the one where we are with the Michigan and Texas towers are the WWII monument. That's our respective hometown states, and they are right next to one another! 

Two are in Houston from when I visited in 2010 after not seeing each other for 2 years. We had such a great time rekindling the friendship, and she gave me my first taste of Texas lifestyle.

I absolutely adore Julie (and her family) and I'm SO fortunate to have her as a friend. She is one of the best things I took away from my Taiwan experience!  

In Taiwan on Orchid Island. Is was one of the best weekends I had in Taiwan. I really became closer to Jules and grew to love her!

A new kind of thinking cap...

Julie and I would occasionally do one another's hair. On this night, Jules was giving me some fashionable blonde highlights using a really cool cap! Prior to this night on a school trip to NYC, I cut her really thick long hair in a hotel room. We obviously trusted each other very much!
