Stormy Weather

We had quite a few stormy weather the first few days of May. There were several days when the tornado warning siren went off. Thank God none of the tornados touched down near the seminary. (If you have watched the movie "Twister," you'll know the impact of a tornado.)

On May 2nd, a severe storm caused 300,000 homes to lose power in our area. Our power outage lasted for a day but some seminary families had no power for almost 3 days! The wind was so strong that day that it uprooted the tree opposite our apartment. The seminary had to send folks to cut up the tree and clear the mess.

Southwestern Campus Cookout

As part of the Southwestern Preview Conference (something like campus open house in Singapore), the seminary had organized a cookout for everyone on the lawn outside the rotunda. It was fun and carnival-like. There were live music, bounce houses and even a dunk tank where the Professors and even the President were on the target! We were with the Lows (Daniel, Melody, Megan & Malcolm) and Jason suggested we all wear the Singapore T-shirt.

We've put a photo album of the event "SWBTS Cookout" under the photo link at the right bar.

Happy Birthday!!

This year, Shelen's birthday celebration stretched over the weekend.

Willis & Emily had invited us to watch the musical "Wicked" and have dinner together on Sun evening. Since it was at the Dallas Music Hall, we booked a cheap hotel stay in Dallas through priceline. In that way, we could go visit the Dallas Arboretum that Shelen had been wanting to go on the next day. On Tue evening, Jason cooked a dish for Shelen (only 1 dish, she still had to cook the rest of the food). Since we already had our celebration, Shelen wasn't expecting anything else from Jason. But the loving hubby had prepared a surprise birthday present - Mr. Perfect!
