Happy New Year!

Our time in Chicago was busy as expected. Here are the highlights from the trip:

1. Erik saw falling snow for the first time in his life.
2. I saw most of my cousins except for two, Su and Alice. My cousin Dan is dating a Chinese-American girl named Eva because he says that Korean-American girls are annoying. We played an exciting game of Taboo and watched "The Princess Bride" which some of my cousins have never heard of before due to their youth.
3. We spent time with Jessica, Juan, and Juan Jr. Juan Jr. had more fun playing with the box than the toy. He is huge for a one and a half year old and can walk and run perfectly balanced!
4. We ate lunch with Sherman and Scott at my favorite Thai restaurant for twenty minutes.
5. We met the pastor who will perform our marriage ceremony. He was in his late thirties and easy to talk to.
6. We met with the wedding reception coordinator and decided on the cake and menu. Well, I did most of the deciding.
7. We met with the photographer and decided on our package and our look - natural and artistic.
8. I met with the florist with my sister and decided on the flowers - yellow french tulips, white peonies, and small pale blue flowers that I've never heard of before.
9. I got an extensive lecture on kitchenware from my sister Young Mi who critiqued my bridal registry brutally.
10. Just hanging out with my family members. My nephew Garrett really liked Erik and would not even let him use the bathroom in peace. I also got to hear firsthand some of the problems that's been going on in our family. Family is not perfect but it's still nice to have them around.
