So yesterday I ate dinner with the Liao's, Tiffany, and Terrance. I have no clue why they organized it, but according to Jon Liao it was just a random thing that they did. Maybe God's prompting, I don't know. Well as it turns out it went pretty well. It was slightly unusual, however. I don't want to write too much cause JON LIAO IS READING THIS! But I think your dad has very interesting points of views and your mom smiles a lot. Also, Jon you like attention but your sister does not. I hope you remembered to say thank you to them.

So today I went with my parents to pick up some charcoal for a nice July 4th bbq. As my dad went into albertsons I had a little chat with my mom. First it started with me asking how counseling was going. My mom cousels abused women. The only reason I went with them was because I felt that God was prompting me to talk to them about something... but I also felt like I should just listen and not jump into things.

Before I knew it, the conversation got pretty ugly as mom and I traded blows back to my behavior when I was in he 1st and 2nd grade. My mom says I have anger problems and her trump card is using examples from my early childhood. During this whole time I was like "God, how did this conversation get to this? I thought it was you prompting me to go and talk?" But I realized later that bringing up these issues was really needed. I actually feel a lot more internally settled. At dinner my mom and I were barabacue-ing in the back and had a talk. Apologies were made etc. etc.

More good things to come later.
