American Idol Care Package

Twitter Updates

So, if you read my blog, you know that my preschoolers here in Vietnam made it onto American Idol with their cute video supporting my hometown contestant, Joshua Ledet.  You can see the video here: http://gymnastmike.blogspot.com/2012/04/my-vietnamese-preschoolers-on-american.html

Today, I got a care package from Joshua's family that included 14 little t-shirts for my preschoolers and one big one for me.  So thoughtful!  Look for another video soon from them in these t-shirts!  A big thank you to the wonderful Ledet family.

T'was a good Sunday

My life is pretty routine here every day. I do the same things and rarely stray from daily life. Yesterday, was an exception as Vuong and I scootered it down to Thu Duc to visit Michele. We had pancakes for brunch - REAL pancakes! I can't tell you how long it's been since I've eaten pancakes!! They were delish!

After brunch, we went to her pool and swam a bit. I'm a tad sunburned this morning, but it was worth it. We found a coconut, which we threw around in the pool before I got lazy and rested my chin on it while kicking around.

After coming home, I went to Jun's tattoo shop and got my tat worked on.

And FINALLY (duh duh duh DUHHHHH), it's FINISHED!! It's been a work in progress since October, but it's finally done. Overall, I'm happy with it. I think maybe I'll stop the tattoo obsession now :)

My Vietnamese Preschoolers on American Idol

Last week, my preschool class here in Vietnam made a video message for my buddy, Joshua Ledet, back in Louisiana. And can you believe it??? The video actually made it onto the show! Here's a clip from the actual show. I'm so proud of my little ones!!

A Message from my Preschoolers in Vietnam

My preschoolers practiced this message, and we sent it to a friend (Joshua Ledet) back home in Louisiana who's competing on American Idol this year. How cute are they!??

I'm a Happy Camper

I'm going home in June!!! (to visit for 3 1/2 weeks) - I haven't been home in the four years that I've lived in Vietnam so I'm really excited about seeing friends and family in Louisiana.

That said, I paid for my tickets today, got my itinerary, AND treated myself to a new global iphone 4S that I've been wanting for the longest!

Yes, a bit self-indulgent, but I'm worth it :)
