Week 5 (10/27/2011)

We planned to go to HK for my birthday a few months ago before we learned the news about mini b. We stuck to our original plan to fly back to HK despite I am only 5 weeks pregnant.  We would really love to break the big news to my parents in person.  We waited to tell my parents at week 6 in HK and Sangil's parents shortly after to make up for a missing birthday card for Sangil's dad.  I am glad that we went home and had a fabulous time with friends and family.


9/22/11

September 22, 2011 marks the beginning of mini b's life. We found out this exciting yet scary news on 10/24/2011.  While incredibly excited, we are anxious because we live in Las Vegas, far away from our friends and family. Through this blog, we hope to bring you along this journey of meeting our first child.

I created this vitural styling blog post by using Polyvore (www.polyvore.com). This is a fun tool to create your own fashion style and share it with your friends via social media tools, such as Blogger, Facebook, and Twitter. You can also create a clothing set using Polyvore's templates shown below which mimics magazine pages.

First blog after the across-the-country-move

Apparently I have not been updating my blog for a long while. I should update everyone that I recently moved to Las Vegas! My husband and I both got job offers in LV and decided to move across the country. Right after we decided to move, we started packing, selling/giving out furniture, cleaning, arranging movers, and selling the house. Even though it was only 3 months ago, everything already seemed like a blur. I only remember how stressful we were about the move. I am glad that we are finally settled in our new home in Las Vegas (with boxes sitting in the office) and I look forward to the fall so I can go explore the great outdoors.

Snow storm every week?

It seems like this winter has been an extra snowy one. We have been having snow at least once a week. Like today, we are getting snow non-stop, about 6" so far and it will keep snowing for awhile till midnight or something. I used to not like the snow at all, but after all these years living in the midwest I actually don't mind it! I guess when you don't have to drive in the snow makes a big difference. I am so lucky that my DH carpools with me to work everyday and I don't have to worry about parking. How nice is that huh? ;)))) Hope everyone drives safe and stays warm out there.

korean dumplings

My in-laws were in town for a few days last week; thus I was busy entertaining them. They didn't stay for a long time as usual, but I am glad that my MIL made us some really yummy food. These mandu (korean dumplings) are one of my favorite korean dishes. They are simply healthy and delicious! I wish she made a lot more so we can freeze them for future consumption. =P


I am getting excited for my vacation coming up in 2 weeks. I can't wait to go home to relax and do some shopping. =D

Stressed out

I am pretty stressed out lately because I don't know what will happen in life. MY DH and I have been thinking about where to settle our lives for a long while since he finished school back last May. We both want to move to somewhere where we would enjoy the weather and food more. I am definitely open to anywhere warm like Southern CA, Texas, or even Florida. My husband likes the Pacific NW where he can enjoy outdoor activities and the beautiful scenery. I don't really mind moving to the Pacific NW either as long as I can land a decent job and maintain our current standard of lifestyle. However, with the current economy in the US, it makes our move pretty risky in terms of giving up our jobs and selling the house we love!

Nonetheless, if we are always afraid of changes we will never do anything right? I don't want to look back in 10 years and wish I did all these things that I am too afraid to do. I feel like life is passing me by and I need to do something about it. I hope something nice will happen soon and make my decision easier.

I am sure I will miss my very first house if I ever leave this place :(

new year weekend

Didn't do much for the new year weekend, just stayed at home relaxing most of the time. I came across a pretty simple recipe and wanted to try it out. So here it is - avocado crab salad! Yum!
