us girls

Yesterday was wonderful. Actually yesterday and on into today. I spent both days with Lydia and Leah!

Yesterday I hopped on the bus at about 3:00 p.m.--a common start to every trip--and soon found myself at the Wirgau home.

We decided to have dinner at one of their favorite little restaurants, so we bundled up in a million and one different garments and left. I sat on the back of Lydia's bike and she rode me all the way there: through the darkness and the city streets, until we got to the tiny, Chinese restaurant. We all enjoyed the food a lot, and the company and warmth of the place was also lovely. After that the six of us (the three Wirgau boys came too) rode home. 

That night we worked on making a video. It was really fun and hilarious, and I'm pretty sure you'd want to see it, so I'm going to have to put it up sometime :)

We watched a Doctor Who episode (love!) and drank tea and coffee and laughed and talked. 

Today we hung out at their house some more then Lydia, Leah and I headed over to our house. On the way over we stopped at Coco and bought pearl milk teas (you should know by now that we kind of love them) and then got back on the bus to go to my house. We edited our video a bunch, ate dinner, laughed some more and then the girls left, ending the 25 some hours I'd been with the two of them.

I love them and I'm so thankful for them! God has really blessed our family with the Wirgaus.

While waiting for the bus we realized that we all had rolled-up jeans on and converse! Picture taken by Leah Wirgau with her camera. I'm in the white ones, Lydia's in the grey and Leah's in the purple :)

Love, a

Today

Da Jia Hao! Lately I have not been taking many pictures. Probably because the camera battery needs to be charged but also because I haven't been outside much and there's not anything right at this moment that I want to take a picture off. So... Sorry but this blog post will just be short with no purpose other then doing a blog post! Has anyone ever heard of a thing called Pearl Milk Tea? It's tea with milk and sugar and then the fun part of it is they put these gelatin balls in the tea and you have a big straw and you suck them out, and it's really good! If any of you ever want to come to China I will buy you a milk tea, cause there really good...
Today I had Oreo ice cream! Then I had Haribo gummy bears! Food... I played two games of one of our favorites right now, called Settlers of Catan. Sometime I need to take some of the hard things here and turn them into a post. Because you know the Jones family is not just going around having fun and loving every single thing about life right now :)
Right now i'm still reading Narnia and love it! I am starting Voyage of the dawn treader today sometime, and only two more to go after that! I'm excited about the Last Battle!
On facebook I just saw a video of my friends doing a scene from there play Cinderella and it was so good!
I wished I was there watching it though.
Yesterday I learned to say my birthday and all the month's which are super easy once you know your numbers. January is Yi Yue which means 1 month! (Yi is one, er is two and yue is month) February is Er Yue which means 2 month's and so on!
My birthday is Yi Jiu Jiu Liu Nian, Sir yue, er shi yi ri. Oh yeah! Chinese is hard but worth it (I think).
Andrew (my brother) and I are writting/ playing several songs right now! Fun!
Okay these pictures are of this rainbow thing I have and I took some pictures of it. Aren't they sweet? And random?
I love you all and thanks for keeping up with me :) Love, Annie.

By the way Da Jia Hao means Hello Everybody :)
