Favorite Photo Friday -- Memories!


Well, the title of my blog is "Life with Lily Lin" and it is usually 99.9% about Lily, but today I wanted to post one of my favorite pictures that was taken JUST BEFORE our life with Lily truly began.
That is us just days BEFORE meeting our little bundle face to face.
Our trip in China was very emotional, and at times EXTREMELY difficult, but when I look back I always just smile...it was wonderful and life changing.
While we were climbing The Great Wall I kept saying to Jay: "Can you BELIEVE we are in CHINA climbing THE GREAT WALL!!!????"
It all felt so surreal. But, it was amazing.
Plus, the picture makes me chuckle cuz Jay is wearing that ridiculous hat that crazy Dave bought him...good times! I love looking back to that time in our lives...when and where it all began.
To my sweet travel companions: I miss you all so much and love the bond that we will ALWAYS have...give your girls a big smooch from Lily! XOXOXOXO

What an amazing picture at The Wall. It is so amazing that you were there and then you met one of the loves of your life!

Ok, Nikki, if you say he still wears that hat, I will be surprised. What a memory that is. Didn't he get that hat from our friend the camel rider??

I could see both David and Jay in my mind and could have sworn I had a picture of the two of them. What a great smile you just on my face! See gals......I don't have the only goofy husband! lol ;)

It is funny to see those hats again if only in pictures. I'm surprised Greg didn't buy one.
