I Love

These people.
They are Max and Suoma Lieber, and this picture says it all.
We are somehow related, distantly.
They are pretty much my surrogate grandparents out here, and come to my rescue when I need it most.
They have taken me out to dinner more than once, Max brought me fresh strawberries at work, and they sit by me in church.
Last time we were at dinner I asked how they met, and this is their story:

Max: We met in London. I was from Switzerland and she was from Finland.
I was not a member yet, and she had been for a couple years.
I went to a night where the organ was played at the church, and was told about a single's dance that would be going on next week.
I went, and Suoma and I were the only ones who did not have a dance partner, so they said,
"You can dance with each other!"
Suoma: And we've been dancing ever since!
Max: And then three weeks later when she dropped me off at the train station, I said,
"I'm going to marry you, you know."
She said, "You're crazy!"

(They both laugh.)

They are the greatest.

Facebook Knows What's Up

Yes, its true, sometimes I take Facebook quizzes.
Only the good ones.

Sara completed the quiz "What U.S. state do you belong in?" with the result Hawaii.
You truly see the world as your oyster. Life, to you, is one big playground. Money means very little to you.. Uncle Sam, who? And as far as you are concerned, beyond sand, surf, and sun, there's nothing more in the world you could ask for. You are most at ease and comfortable when your hair is wet, your toes are sandy, and your drink is cold. Friends and family mean a lot to you, but that doesn't mean you have to spend every waking hour together; sometimes you find comfort in solitude. And plus, absence makes the heart grow fonder. You will, however, find that one person that really completely you.. and once you do, you'll never want to live a day without them..
Me to a T.
I'll make it there someday. Don't be worried...
I'm not.
