Long lost friends and family

Our Tennessee trip was awesome! So much fun. We love taking this yearly trip to Tennessee. It gives us a chance to be together as a family and it also gives the kids a chance to spend some time with their little cousin, Layla and their grandparents. We usually don't do much. We just hang out in the farm and help around the house and such. Nothing too fancy. But we do a lot of eating and socializing. A lot of it! We eat all the time. We could be eating and some one will want to know what else will we eat. It's funny!
This year we had a chance to visit Lien's best friend in Georgia. That's always a good treat for him. This is his friend since he was in Phillipine at the refugee camp before coming out to America. They kept in contact for a while after arriving in America but lost contact a few years after. It has been over 8 years since they lost contact and then one day while we were visiting his cousins in Michigan, they found each other and now they call each other all the time. They made a pact now, that they have to keep in touch atleast once a week, if the other doesn't call, some one has to. It's really great. I'm so happy for him that he found his best friend. He even have names for each other. And just this year, they found their other friend from when they were out in Phillipine. Now all they need to do is find one more and they are all together again. There was 4 of em'. Now 3...i'm sure they will find there friend soon enough. Facebook does some good stuff huh?
Liens' brother was able to be out there in Tennssee with us this year. They use to live with us but moved to Florida after their wedding in '07, i think. And we haven't seen them since then, so it was really nice to see them. They have 3 of the cutest kids.. They are so adorable. Anyways we are glad to see them. It is so nice to get to spend some time with family, especially ones you haven't seen in such a long time. Boy time flies by!
They have such adorable kids. minus one- she's some where. We hope to see them soon again. Maybe one day we can visit them in Florida. It would be a good idea, since i've never been to Disney Land/Disney World. The kids haven't been either so it would be a great trip! Can't wait....one day.
