june 27, 2010

before june slips us by, i wanted to write and wish my wonderful husband a HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! we had a busy but great weekend...on friday, we went to jamie and peter's wedding out at bridal veil...what a beautiful setting!! jamie looked stunning and it was great to see so many old familiar faces all grown up. on saturday, we had breakfast at one of our favorite places {milo's} with the goetz's and doud's {we missed you kincaid's!}. after breakfast, scott put on his USA jersey to watch the world cup. then we FINALLY hit the road to go to our favorite beach...CANNON!! when we got there, we ran into more of our friends...the vogt's! it was so fun to see their whole family and catch up for a bit. afterwards, scott and i made it to the beach and did our regular walk...only this time we had our little charlie. we looked at each other and hesitated for a moment on whether to let this rascal off leash but i'm so glad we did! he is a riot...

{the bride & groom...congrats jamie & peter!!}

{kristin, dorina, holly & me}

{charlie likes to sleep in the middle console part of our cars...nice little set up he has going on}

{must have gotten too warm so he moved to the floor for some a/c}

{he went NUTS at the beach. it looks like he's doing a #2, but i assure this is charlie galloping through the sand}

{then he saw the waves & had to check it out}

{this is charlie catching a glimpse of a seagull and thought he'd chase after it...poor little guy doesn't realize he'd be a scooby snack for a seagull}

{charlie looking pretty defeated after the leash came back one...sorry buddy!! next time...}

{charlie passed out in my arms on the car ride back home...life is good}

afterwards, we stopped at some of our favorite treat spots and headed back into town. car rides together is one of scott and i's favorite times together. we reminisced about the past year and talked about our marriage. we reflected upon our times of trial and our huge JOYS in life. i have to say, our second year into married life is so much sweeter than our first...and that makes me excited for all the years after because it can only get sweeter, right?? i can truly say with my everything that i love scott more today than the first day i met him...and now with a baby on the way, i can only see this love growing...{like my belly!}

{one day shy of 12 weeks!!}

charlie ~ my part dog part cat

charlie has SO much personality that i can't even begin to tell you about it...BUT, i managed to capture one of the funniest things i think he does...


get to know me...

so i was on little anna's blog and thought this would be fun to do, especially since i am on summer break and have the time to do it...

six names you go by:
yoonhee, jannn-et, soon-hee, j. wang, j-bear and janny.

three things you're wearing right now: navy/white polka dot jammies, a holey white polo shirt and my love pink hoodie.

four things you want at this exact moment: orange juice with calcium, all my laundry to put themselves away, a cute/beautiful/classy bridesmaid dress for mark and mai's wedding and a bagel with light cream cheese with tomato slices - YUM~O.

two things you did yesterday: went to good old target and visited a sweet friend and her little babygirl, emma.

two people you last talked to on the phone: this should be a shocker: scott and priscilla

two things you're going to do tomorrow: taking the paik's to the airport and hanging out with dorina and westin.

three favorite drinks: iced soy chai, organic blueberry and orange italian soda and at this point in my life, i need water.

wish i was here wednesday...

{this is technically a "wish i was here AGAIN wednesday" at the beaches of cozumel}

dad's day

i am three days past the official father's day but it's never to late to celebrate and recognize my dads...
my dad is funny, strong, giving, a man of prayer and still calls me his baby...ahhh i love that. he also speaks a little bit a spanish & chinese...a man of many talents.
my dad had a stroke back when i was a junior/senior in college (2001) and lot's has changed since then but thinking back on his life, i know he feels incredibly blessed. selfishly, my prayer has been that he would make it to my wedding day to walk me down the aisle and that i got to have my father/daughter dance. before our wedding day, i would cry everytime i watched a bride dance with her dad...part was envy and the other just a sadness that i wouldn't never get the chance to dance with my dad. but God is so good...my dad did walk me down the aisle and i danced with my dad! we did in a very nontraditional way but it was absolutely perfect. i cherish my times with my dad...

{june 27, 2008 ~ a day i will always hold dear to my heart of my dad & i...}

{we watched & danced to israel kamakawiwo ole's somewhere over the rainbow/what a wonderful world}

{for our dad/daughter dance, we first watched a slideshow of pictures of my dad & i. then we wanted all the other dad's & daughters that were at our wedding to celebrate & join us during this special time...it was perfect}

henry is my dad-n-law. he too, is a great man. he is unbelievably giving and has a great spirit about him. he has welcomed me into this family as if i was his very own daughter...and i love him for that. he also could be one of the best cooks i know...he can fix just about anything that is broken and loves his family. he raised a son whom i love dearly and i also have come to love him as my own dad...i am thankful for you!! happy father's day dad wang!!

10 days can't get here fast enough!!

i can't believe my first year of teaching has flown by so fast! i remember the second day in, i got the worst migraine and questioned: is this REALLY what i want to do? i wonder what would happen if i quit today...that was 161 days ago and i stuck around to see the end of the year! (and glad i did)

before i began, i had heard that the first year of t
eaching is by far the worst - that i would spend a lot of nights crying and staying super late and wondering why i got into the profession. i would have to say, experiencing first hand that i have experienced all three but NOT to the extreme to say that it was the worst year of my life. i do have to say that i am very eager and ready for my summer to begin...

hey family and friends...want to join me here? to each a bungalow and a happy summer...if only, right??
