So I took Zeke to the doc's yesterday for this free checkup thing they do every Wednesday and since he was born he's gained 2 lbs and 5 oz! He's now 8 lbs 11 oz. And he's only 3 weeks and 2 days old. So he's doing pretty good. Here's some more pics of the little guy, who won't be so little much longer.

Baby Zeke

2012-01-11T12:11:00.000-08:00

Here he is! Ezekiel Jason Kim. He was born on Monday, December 26th at 6:19 in the morning. He weighed 6 pound, 6 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. He's actually shrunk in length a little bit since then on account of his enormous cone head going down in size. He was 20 inches at his 1 week checkup with the doc.
This was one of the first, if not the first picture taken of Zeke. He was so peaceful right after he was born. He didn't even cry. He just kind of let out a few moans. It was pretty funny. I think he was in a bit of shock. Being born is pretty traumatic!

This picture was taken when we first got to the hospital. I wasn't feeling too bad yet. Hence the smile on my face.
It was on Christmas day at about 4 pm that I had just smeared my dad in a game of phase 10. I sat down on the couch and suddenly felt a rush of liquid in my pants and was a little alarmed. Did I just pee my pants? No, my water broke. So I called the doctor and was told to go to the hospital. Baby Zeke arrived a grueling 14 hours later.

I was pretty undecided when I went in about whether or not to get an epidural. My sisters both got sick with an epidural and I really didn't want to be barfing while trying to give birth. I stuck it out for about 7 hours after my water broke, and then decided I would rather be puking than to feel such extraordinary pain. They gave me just enough to take the edge off, so I wasn't puking too much. But it still hurt like hell. I can't imagine what it would've felt like without the epidural.

The reason Zeke had such a cone head was because when it came time for me to push, he was coming down the birth canal face-up. It's much easier to push them out when their face-down like they're supposed to be. The doc thought he would have to turn the baby with his hands or with forceps, but little Zeke turned himself around in the end. He's pretty great and we sure love him!

Getting closer

2011-12-23T08:12:00.000-08:00

Just one more week to go til the due date! Hopefully he decides to come on time. That would be nice. Especially since my parents are going to be in town, and my dad has to go back to work on January 8th. The doctor says if he doesn't come before the 5th, then he'll start me.

What's better than being 9 months pregnant? Being 9 months pregnant and sick! I have this nasty cold with a gut wrenching cough. It's great. I really hope the cough goes away before I go into labor.

We've got everything ready for his arrival (I hope).

My mom and dad gave us this super cute blanket with this bassinet. My parents have actually had this bassinet since I was a baby. My mom made the covering for the bassinet. Very cute.

I crocheted these snowflakes. Some to hang in the window, and some for the tree. They weren't really hard to make, just super time consuming. But I've had a lot of time on my hands lately.

Also made the little gingerbread men for the tree and some chocolates. I made chocolates last year and they were so good I think I'll be doing it every year. Way better than anything you buy. They don't look as good though.

We bought a new car! It's a 2006 Honda Element. We made it almost 4 years with just one car. We were hoping to go a little longer, but Jason is now working at a practice about 25 minutes away and he didn't want to leave me without a car at home with the baby coming and everything. It's a great car.

6 weeks to go and getting uncomfortable

2011-11-14T15:33:00.000-08:00

The worst is right after I eat. Especially if I eat a lot, like if we go to some restaurant where the food is awesome so I just want to keep eating it. The next couple of hours after doing that are especially uncomfortable. Other than that, I 'm doing really good. I still go to the gym everyday and I'm still able to do all the usual stuff around the house. The thing I think I miss the most about my pre-preg body is running. I would kill to just go for a nice long run and to feel the burning in my legs and in my lungs. I miss that a lot.

Very knitty! With a little crochet.

2011-10-05T18:24:00.000-07:00

I've been having a lot of fun making stuff for the little one the last couple of months. This hat and booties are newborn size.

This sweater is a 12 month size.

The truck was a little tricky, but I think it's super cute.

This was my very first sweater that I've ever knitted. Finished it about a month ago. It's about a 3 month size.

And some crocheted booties to match!

new town, new job, new experiences

2011-09-30T08:51:00.000-07:00

Wow, it's been a long time! And a lot has happened since I bothered to write anything on this blog. So after a year living in my parents' basement, we moved to Fort Collins, Colorado about 2 months ago. It's a really nice place about an hour north of Denver. We've got mountains, lots of lakes, 4 seasons, and there are so many nice people here. We moved into a town house that we'll be renting for a year while we try to decide if we want to stay here or not. Jason got a job with this corporate dental company (Pacific Dental) and he's working in one of their practices here in Fort Collins like 2 miles from where we live.

We're super excited about the little boy we have coming this December! He's due December 29th, to be exact. I'm hoping he comes by then so that I don't have to be pregnant any longer than necessary because pregnancy is no picnic (and I've had it pretty good compared to some others), and Jason is hoping he comes before the new year so that we can declare him on our taxes in the spring. One of the weirdest feelings ever is that of a baby moving around inside of you. He's definitely getting bigger and stronger because what used to be little flutters of movement are now like full fledged kick boxing sessions. Sometimes I feel like my entire belly moves when he kicks. It's weird. But also very cool. The strength that he displays already makes me a little nervous about the remaining 3 months of my pregnancy. I think pretty soon these kicks might start to hurt.

Since we moved, I've been trying to keep myself busy with various activities. It's a bit hard to get a job when you'll only be working for a few months. I've been doing a lot of knitting (baby stuff), and I've been doing some volunteer work at the Boys and Girls Club, and with Volunteers of America. So I'm keeping myself somewhat occupied, and I'm enjoying all the down time I have before the craziness of motherhood begins. So here's a pic of the belly. I somehow still have a pretty good inny belly button. I think it makes the belly look a little less round. I think it will probably pop out before the end though.

3 years...

2011-03-09T08:53:00.001-08:00

Three years ago yesterday we were married. I wish I could relive it all the time. It was the best day. Since we're short on funds, we just went to dinner. We went to the cheesecake factory. I've never actually eaten real food there. It was really pretty good. And the cheesecake, wow! It should be outlawed.

Jason is 30!

2011-02-23T21:46:00.000-08:00

Jason's 30th birthday was quite an event. There was a lot of fun-having going on. And a lot of eating. We got sushi and went to see Brian Regan (comedian) on his actual birthday, which was on Friday. Then on Saturday I did a little birthday party with my family (which was when we ate the denture cake pictured above), and THEN we went to dinner with some of Jason's friends last night. Altogether, I think it was a pretty memorable birthday.

1st Place performance, 3rd Place prize money

2010-05-16T18:14:00.000-07:00

This is a song Jason and his friend Alan sung in front of the dental school for a talent show. It was pretty hilarious. Everyone thought they were going to sing a religious song (there's a girl that goes "aaaahhh" right before the song like she's gonna get some sappy love ballad), but instead they just made fun of dental school for like 5 minutes. They got 3rd place and $100 dollars which was nice, but they definitely should have gotten first.

SAM'S CLUB NO MORE!

2010-05-12T11:58:00.000-07:00

Today was my last and final day working at Sam's. Feels pretty good! Now I just have to figure out what I want to do when I get to Utah. I'm just gonna figure that out when we get there. If I do decorate cakes again, I'll be working for nobody but me.

Ode to Avni

2010-04-23T20:40:00.000-07:00

So at my prestigious job at Sam's club, one of my fellow cake-decorators is Avni. Avni Alla to be precise. He's easily on my list of the top 10 most interesting people I've ever met. He's quite a character. And this is my little tribute to the man who makes Sam's Club a little less arduous and a little more comical. Avni has a couple of things going for him in the way of humor. The first is his need to make a joke out of everything. Whenever he opens his mouth you can be assured that something he thinks is funny will be spewing out. What really MAKES what he says funny (most of the time) is his Albanian accent, and his lack of English vocabulary. Avni is from Macedonia and he moved to the U.S. about 4 years ago, not knowing a speck of English. His favorite song is Barbie Girl by the band Aqua. He is constantly singing a few of his select favorites (including this one) throughout the day, and he is usually making up his own variations to them and inserting the names of his co-workers into the lyrics. To give you an example, the one I've probably heard the most is, "I'm a Heidi girl, in a Barbie world...". Bad Boys from the show COPS is another favorite. There's also Coco Jambo, I Like To Move It, I Kissed A Girl, Hey There Delilah, the Barney theme song (because his daughter loves Barney) and some Albanian songs. He only sings select parts of each song, and in his own way, and with his own lyrics. They continue to amuse me no matter how many times I've heard them (except for the Barney one, and sometimes he'll sing that one just because he knows it drives me nuts). He also does some weird little dances to his songs occasionally. He has many recurring jokes like when he says, "you're making discrimination on me," for some stupid little thing (everybody discriminates against Avni over every little thing according to him), and when he talks about his "second" or "third" wife even though he's only been married once and he's still married to the woman. He likes to joke about how Muslims are polygamists even though they're not (he's Muslim, by the way). He likes to tell people they've been drinking "stupid juice" when they mess up (even a little bit). He also likes to tell people to "go to hell" and to "do your job" when the joking escalates to a certain level. Everybody knows he's kidding though. I don't think a serious word ever comes out of his mouth unless someone else is being serious with him first. It's hilarious when he pronounces things wrong (like pronouncing "sheet" like "shit"), or when he writes things down wrong (like when he pulled a bunch of stale bread from off the sales floor that was to be given away to a food bank and labeled it, "4 skin" when meaning to write, "for scan"). He's got some interesting eating habits, too. Apparently, over in Macedonia, they LOVE mayonnaise. Today for lunch he had a slice of cheese pizza with 3 packets of mayonnaise piled on top of it. He claimed that it's no different than dunking your pizza in ranch dressing when I told him that it's no wonder his belly makes him look like he's in his third trimester. If I'm going to miss anything about Sam's Club, it will be Avni (okay, I'll miss some other co-workers, too!). But I won't be missing the gazillion cakes I have to decorate, and the stupid members (also known as customers in any normal retail store where they don't charge people money so that they can buy things there) that I have to deal with. So now that this post really turned into a novel I'm going to end it. And here's some pictures of Avni with his sick pizza.

Oregon isn't too shabby.

2010-04-21T08:14:00.000-07:00

A little belated posting about this, but I went to my friend, Krista's wedding in Oregon a couple of weeks ago and reunited with some friends there. I've felt so out of the loop with all of my friends since I've been in Florida. This is probably more because I'm horrible at keeping in touch with people, and not so much because I live all the way across the country. Most of these friends I haven't seen in at least a year and one, Natalie, I haven't seen since she moved to Boston like 4 years ago! The great thing is that whenever I do see my friends I feel like we haven't even been apart and we just kind of pick up where we left off. I don't know about them, but that's how I feel and it makes me even more excited to be back out to Utah and to see them more often. A little bonus to this trip I took to Oregon is that I met some more really great girls and I can sense some more great friendships in the making. I'm so excited to move back home! I've really, really missed it there. Florida has been pretty good to us, though, and we'll miss it when we go. Oregon is BEAUTIFUL, by the way. I'm definitely going to have to make a trip back there one day.

A little explanation about the elbow: we were outside the barn (which is where Krista had her reception) taking pictures. I was about to lean back against the barn when I felt a sharp pain just above my right elbow. I thought that the barn had given me a sliver but then it started burning intensely and I'm pretty sure I was stung by a yellow jacket or something. And even though the picture of my elbow looks like there's nothing wrong with it, I promise there IS something there, and it hurt like a mother.

Common Occurance

2010-03-11T06:01:00.000-08:00

You would think that a bright purple car with a picture of a girl's giant face on the rear windshield is somewhat difficult to find in our advanced society and culture. Well, you would be wrong. Especially if you're in Florida. And even more especially if you're in a Walmart parking lot.

Here's what we've been up to the last couple of weeks:

2010-03-04T12:18:00.000-08:00

It was Jason's birthday. He's 29!!! We celebrated by going to a really crappy Chinese restaurant called Mr. Han's with Jason's parents. We thought it was going to be really good but we were sorely disappointed.

Irene came to town. She's been in France and we haven't seen her since June! But she'll be moving to Utah not too long after we do so I'm excited to see a lot more of her.

We had our 2nd anniversary! Well, our actual anniversary is March 8th, but we celebrated over the weekend by going camping near the beach in St. Augustine. It was freezing cold but we were pretty comfortable all snuggled up to each other. And a trip to St. Augustine is NOT complete until you've been to the best pizza place that ever existed, Pizza Alley's. Soooooo good! I think what makes it so amazing is the crust and the sauce. The crust is thin and crispy, but it's also chewy. And I don't know what they put in the sauce, but that sauce is boss! I can't believe we've been married for 2 years already. I love you, Jason!! You're the best husband in the whole world and I don't know how I got lucky enough to be your wife. Because you're the best.

Heid is funny

2010-02-16T17:49:00.001-08:00

As most of you know, Heid is funny. And of course for Valentines Day she decided to give me a gift...in dance form. Among the millions of songs she could have choreographed and lip synched to, she of course chose the classic "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," by the Gap Band. In case you are unfamiliar with the song, here is the music video, it's a classic.

She was wearing this:

Her performance was pretty much identical to the lead singer, Charlie Wilson in the video - the dance moves, the attitude, the hand motions (fuse, pill, smoke, thrills, just watch the video). The only thing she didn't have was the bedazzled Crocodile Dundee hat, but she compensated with a sweet homemade shirt with a very lifelike bomb on the front. We liked the bomb as you can tell by the pointing.

Mom missed the last step...

2010-02-05T17:49:00.000-08:00

My parents were in town for a bit. While they were here my mom had a little accident. We live in a 2nd floor apartment and the stairs going up to our apartment aren't very well lit at night. So we were leaving to go out to dinner one night and my mom was trying to be really careful going down the stairs and she thought she had reached the bottom of the stairs but, in fact, she still had one more to go. So all of her weight came down on her heel which came down on the edge of the step. The steps are concrete with a metal edge and the metal edge cut her heel. It took nine stitches to fix it. Stupid stairs. Besides the incident with the stairs, it was fun having them here. They won't be coming back until Jason's graduation in May. It's exciting to think how little time we have left until he graduates. Just 4 months! And I'm soooooooo glad that we know where we're going when he gets done. Before I end this little ditty, I have to give a 'shout out' to my niece Jessica and her husband Sam because they just found out yesterday that they're having another baby! Very exciting! Anyways, here's some pictures of when my parent's were here. My dad was working at a trade show in Orlando part of the time they were here. My mom and I went to visit him on the job one day.

Utah here we come!

2010-01-25T17:23:00.000-08:00

This morning Jason found out that he got accepted into the residency program at the VA Medical center in Salt Lake City!!! We're super, DUPER excited! We were really hoping he would get in. The chances were really slim since there were just 4 open spots and lots of people interviewing for them. Jason said he read his acceptance email like 3 times because he couldn't believe it. He'll be graduating in May, and after that we are Utah bound!

Happy Birthday Jesus

2009-12-21T16:55:00.000-08:00

I just can't tell you how many cakes I've had to write this on in the past couple of weeks. I understand that there's a reason for the season but a birthday cake just doesn't do it for me. A couple of weeks ago we were in Utah for a total of 48 hours. The reason for the short trip was that Jason had an interview for a residency at the VA in Salt Lake. So one of the two nights we were there we went to the Christmas concert at the conference center. Now that's what I call celebrating the reason for the season. Nobody sings a Christmas carol like the MOTAB. Other than the concert, we went out to eat at 3 restaurants and hung out with my family. It was nice to get a little taste of the holidays at home. But I'm also excited to go to Jason's parent's house for Christmas this year. Merry Christmas everybody from us to you!

Lately...

2009-11-09T15:52:00.000-08:00

I haven't posted anything in a super duper long time! So here are a few things we've been doing lately. Actually just some things we did in October. Jason already posted some pictures of our trip to Utah but I decided to add a few more.

Here's my boys Joseph and Peter. It's nice having some admirers when I go home for a visit. They're so much fun.

Carley is crazy. Maybe this will teach her to think twice about stealing my camera and photographing her craziness.

This is my mom arm wrestling Jamie. Jamie won.

Here's a really funny video of my mom arm wrestling my other niece, Anna.

Arm Wrestle! from Jason Kim on Vimeo.

My ma and pa. They'll be joining us in Florida for Thanksgiving. I'm excited.

Just a little stroll down by the river. We went up to Boise for part of our trip to visit my sister, Caroline who is the mother of the crazy Carley.

Feeding the ducks and the geese at Farmington pond. I like how I caught the bread flying through the air in this picture.

This is my nephew Jack. He likes to do magic tricks with decks of cards.

We went to a corn maze in Layton. When I got back from my trip some people at work were asking about what we did on our trip and when I got to the part where we went to a corn maze they were like, "huh?" At first it was kind of weird to me that they'd never heard of a corn maze but there's really not a lot of corn growing around here.

We went to this state park near Jacksonville a couple of weeks ago and we saw a turtle walking in the road. We actually almost ran over it.

Our ward did a trunk or treat the day before Halloween.

For my birthday we stayed in a hotel in Orlando and then we went to Disney the next day because if you go on your birthday you get in free. AND Jason had a free pass that his brother-in-law gave him. So that was nice.

A little birthday brunch.

The hotel.

Disney!

I've always been a fan of splash mountain.

Utah!

T-10 seconds

2009-08-29T08:31:00.000-07:00

On our way home from dinner last night we were listening to the news on the radio and heard this: "Shuttle Discovery is scheduled to launch tonight at 11:59 PM from the Kennedy Space Center." The time was about 8:30. 3 hours to get across the state? No problem. We had both never seen a shuttle launch before so we decided to do it. We raced back home, put our leftovers away and embarked on our mission. Who knew that space shuttle launches were a statewide event in Florida. The traffic was pretty bad, but we got through it and finally parked. We walked over to the shore and got situated for the launch. It was pretty amazing. The video doesn't really do it justice, as stated by my, "this is a crappy video" statement, but it is still pretty cool looking. And don't forget to notice how clear it is.

Frolf

2009-08-09T13:59:00.000-07:00

Well, Heidi has deserted me for a week and now I'm left to my own devices. Turns out that one of my patients is a lover of frisbee golf. Yes that's right, frisbee golf. He actually loves it so much that he gave me a whole set of "disc golf" "clubs" and wants me to go out with him on the course. First of all, who plays frisbee golf? When I see him I always call it "frolf" and I can tell he gets a little angry when I say it. It's like he's got short man complex, but with golf. I also think it's really funny because of this clip from the office.

I don't know, maybe frolfing is really fun. Maybe it's the best thing ever. If I get desperate enough this week (which I probably will) I think I may give it a spin (yea, I just did that).

New Callings

2009-07-02T08:15:00.000-07:00

Jason and I got our callings switched up at church. Jason got called as the elder's quorum president and I got called as 2nd counselor in the young women's. When I told my mom about Jason's calling she said she didn't know whether to congratulate him or to offer her condolences. He'll be pretty busy with this calling plus the stresses that come from being in his final year of dental school, but I'll think he'll manage just fine. I'm excited about my new calling! I was sad that I won't be with the sunbeams anymore because they are SO CUTE! But I'm excited to be working with the young women. I think it'll be a lot of fun.

Jason's cheating on me!

2009-06-21T18:35:00.000-07:00

I got home from work on Friday to find Jason lying on the couch with THIS!

He picked her up on Friday afternoon and they've been inseparable ever since. I'm not too worried about it though, I'm a much better kisser.

Trip to DC

2009-06-16T13:10:00.001-07:00

We went to Washington DC this week to visit Jason's sister Michelle and her boys. Her husband, Jason, is in Guantanamo right now. Jason's parents drove up there with us. A 12 hour drive from Gainesville. His other sister, Irene, was already up there. She's been staying with Michelle for a few weeks. Michelle and Jason will only be in DC until August when they'll be moving to Japan. It was fun having all of Jason's family together (well except Jason in Guantanamo). Here's some pictures of the trip:

This is Elias's crazy dance. Sorry the video is sideways. Jason's mom needs to work on her video taking skills :)

The Four Amigos

2009-05-29T21:48:00.000-07:00

Another bus story! It's been awhile since my last public transportation story, and while this story is not quite as good as the last one it's still pretty funny. Ok so I get on the bus today and it's about half full. Nothing too spectacular as far as bus characters go; middle-aged, crazy woman in a one sided conversation about her sister's new boyfriend Sal, guy on the receiving end cursing himself, smelly homeless guy, nerdy professor, blah blah blah. It's your typical bus fare. No pun intended. Yea, I just did that. Anyway I noticed there were three people sitting across from me - a fat guy with greasy brown lunch bag in his lap, a student, and another pretty large man in his thirties (Nothing too distinguishable about this guy so let's just call him "big boy"). There is one seat open between the student and fat guy and there is a metal pole pole on the other side of fat guy that is pushing up against the outside of his upper thigh. It's a tight fit even with the open seat. Anyway here comes the funny. This old, fairly hefty, woman wearing all white and these black Ray Charles sun glasses gets on. She decides that she doesn't want to sit in any of the MANY open seats on the rest of the bus, and sits right between fat guy and the student. AHAHAHA! Classic. So here they are, the four amigos - big boy, student, white Ray Charles, and fat guy all smushed together right in front of me. The lady literally had to wiggle her butt multiple times to finally wedge it in snugly between the two guys. Even more funny, they all didn't move. They just sat there, squished, pressed up against each other's nastiness for like 20 minutes. Slowly, more and more people got off the bus until eventually it was just me (with a full row of empty seats on BOTH sides) and them. The whole bus was empty except for us. And i just sat there...watching in awe, staring, enjoying the spectacle that had been created in front of me. I kept thinking to myself, "Why doesn't someone just move?? MOVE!! Move you idiots! There's seats! There's seats here! There's seats EVERYWHERE!! GO!!" But they didn't. They just sat. I eventually got off and left them there. I was really hoping that they just stayed like that the rest of the route; just looking around like nothing's wrong, totally uncomfortable, sweating profusely, wondering why they couldn't feel their legs. It was so confusing and entertaining at the same time. Anyway, it was a memorable ride nonetheless.

2009-05-11T08:16:00.000-07:00

Here's a video from my trip. Joseph likes to run. It's funny.

LONG TIME NO POST!

2009-05-07T07:54:00.000-07:00

Jennifer's wedding day:
Look how pretty her hair is! Beautiful job. The picture doesn't do it justice.

I had to post this picture even though you can't really see Jennifer in it. My brother-in-law's face is hilarious. We were throwing rose petals on them as they were leaving the luncheon to go to the hotel.

My nephew Joseph is a little heart breaker in his suit. He's my oldest sister Janet's youngest child.

This is my sister, Janet. Mother of the bride. And me, of course.

Here's the cake in all it's glory.

How about a close up?

Jennifer and Dean. The bride and groom.

The next of the family in line for matrimony: Janessa and Jillian. Let's hope they wait a few years since they're only 18 and 15.

All the kids LOVE Grandpa! It's something of a rivalry between Joseph and Peter. But then again everything is a rivalry between them.

Like playing the piano. Yes, I know, they LOOK like they're getting along in this picture. Sometimes they do.

Joseph LOVES to run. He'll do it for extended periods of time. Until he's dripping sweat. Does it every day.

Colby's soccer game! He's my brother Jeff's middle child. I was so proud that I got a picture of him with the ball. Stupid digital cameras and the way they stall when you're taking a picutre!

After Colby's game we went to my nephew Taylor's football game. He's my oldest brother Scott's oldest child.

And there he is! Wait, which one is he?

Ok, THERE he is!

Wow, I can't believe I haven't blogged in a month! I meant to, just never happened. I went back to Utah since the last time I posted for my niece Jennifer's wedding. Jennifer is the second daughter of my oldest sister. My sister's oldest daughter, Jessica, actually got married before I did and has a baby boy named Peter (which makes me great aunt). Anyways, Jennifer and Dean got married April 17th in the Bountiful temple. My mom made her dress which I think turned out really pretty, and I made her wedding cake which I also think turned out really pretty. Hee hee hee ;) After the temple ceremony they had a luncheon, and then they are having a reception in June. Now you might be thinking, 'if the reception is going to be in June, then why did you make the wedding cake already?' Well, Jennifer wanted to have the wedding cake on the actual day she got married. So there you go. I forgot to bring my camera when we were at the temple so I don't have any pics of that, but I did take plenty of pics at the luncheon and of the rest of the trip. I hope you enjoy.

Other goings on since the last post: we've had Jason's sister, Irene staying with us for the last couple of weeks. She's a lot of fun to have around. She thinks she's a burden or something but she's not. She's been working in France since last October and she got back about 3 weeks ago and has been staying with us because she loves us (and because she met a boy in the single's ward and they like each other, hee hee). She'll be going back to France in a couple of months to be a nanny. And we will miss her.

Another thing that's been happening is work. Blah! It's been rough at Sam's Club bakery lately. It's 'graduation season' and people want cake like it's not going to be around anymore so they have to get lots of it while it lasts. Something like that. I DO NOT remember graduation being any big deal AT ALL in Utah when I decorated cakes at Dick's Market for 2 years. But here, oh my gosh, it's just pure hell. And we haven't even arrived at high school graduations yet. We've only had UF's graduation which was last weekend. Plus during this so-called graduation season they want me to work nights (like from 8 or 9 at night till 2 or 3 in the morning) so that I can just do orders without interruptions from the phone or from helping people order cakes or answering questions. It'll be nice not to have any interruptions, but I think working till the wee hours of the morning is going to be rough. But I only have to do it till like the 2nd week of June so I guess I can make it. Anyways, that's what's happening in my world.

As always, Jason is the most awesome person in the world and I love him very much. He's enjoying dental school a lot. He really likes working on his patients. The other day he told me that he just 'had so much fun at school today.' I'm glad he's enjoying it so much.

2009-04-06T13:44:00.000-07:00

Wow it's been a while since I blogged. Sheesh. Well, we went to Utah and Idaho for Jason's spring break last week. My whole family went to these cabins in Island Park (which is in Idaho about a half hour away from Yellowstone). We go there about every other year. It's a lot of fun with everyone there. We went snowshoeing, cross country skiing, sledding, and hung out with the family...ate food, watched movies, played games and sat in the hot tub. We brought our camera but the only pictures we took were of sledding. It snowed about foot while we were there, which I LOVED because you just don't get anything close to that in Florida.

Anniversary #1

2009-03-09T14:10:00.000-07:00

We stayed a night in St. Augustine over the weekend for anniversary numero uno. For those of you who don't know where that is, it's just south of Jacksonville in the northeastern part of Florida. It's about an hour and a half drive from Gainesville. St. Augustine is actually the oldest city in the nation. Founded in 1565 or something like that. It's a fun place. Before I moved to Florida I came here for spring break in March of 2007 to visit Jason. We went to stay with an old roommate of his in St. Augustine where the guy was going to physical therapy school. So we have some good memories associated with that area. And now we have even more! I had to work Saturday until about 2 so we only stayed there one night and we actually stayed at the Hilton. I've never been to a Hilton but they are pretty dang nice. Saturday night we went to this restaurant called The Gypsy Cab Company and the food was overpriced and really sucked. So then we decided to go running and then at the end of the run we ended up on St. George Street (which is a really cool historic street with lots of shops and restaurants that no cars can go down, only pedestrians) where we were going to get some dessert at one of the several chocolate shops on the street. So we got our chocolates AND some ice cream (hey it's our anniversary, why not go a little crazy!?) and we passed by this pizza place called Pizzalleys that we've been to before and there was a guy giving out samples. Well that convinced us that we needed to get some pizza (they're pizza is very likely the best I've ever had, no kidding!). Plus we were still hungry from our lack of food intake at the Gypsy place. Then we headed back to the hotel and I'll just stop right there and skip to the next day ;) Sunday we got some breakfast and headed to the beach where we tried to suntan our sad, white, little bodies. Then went back to St. George Street for some more pizza (at another place this time, not as good). Before heading home I decided that I needed to try a frozen banana since I've never had one before. I was pretty satisfied with it. I'll probably get one again if the occasion arises. Anyway, so then we went home...and THAT is what we did for our first anniversary. Hope you like how I rambled on and on and ON about it!

P.S. I love you, Jason! Crazy that it's been one year already since we got hitched! I was thinking A LOT about the day we got married and our honeymoon over the weekend. VERY good stroll down memory lane for me. I wish we could get married all over again. Here's some pics of my memory lane:

Bus Riders Unite!

2009-03-06T08:00:00.000-08:00

What do a white guy who thinks he's black, the smell of old tacos, and a woman who looks like Tracy Morgan playing Star Jones all have in common? They're all things you can find on a bus in Gainesville! Now, I don't know how many of you ride the bus to work or school, but here in Gainesville it's always a magical experience. I usually only ride about once a week, but when I do it's well worth it. The greatest thing about buses is that they're are always characters riding with you. Whether it be the old cat lady who talks to you about how she personally prepares every meal for all her cats from scratch, or the smelly homeless man that insists on shaking your hand right after he's eaten a hamburger from Checkers, there are always "interesting" people on the bus. Today was no exception. So I sit down and right across from me there's a guy early thirties, shaved head, gold hoop earrings in both ears, talking to himself. At first I thought he was using a bluetooth headset cause I couldn't see one of his ears. I heard him say things like, "I got $20,000 worth of paraphernalia and they want to confiscate it," and, "Do it. One million dollars." Two options here - drug dealer or completely out of his mind. Then this middle eastern looking guy sits down next to him and the guy starts rapping to him and says, "You know who that is? Method Man. Method man is my BOY!" He continues to talk about Method Man, Red Man, Noreaga, and other rappers I have never heard of. All the while the middle eastern guy is awkwardly trying not to make eye contact. I'm sure this middle eastern guy wanted to punch him in the face, but he just sat there wondering why he ever came to America. Then, finally, Eminem gets off the bus and turns around with his arms outstretched, his hands clasped together in the shape of a gun. He proceeds to shoot the bus with his hands a couple of times and walks away. No joke. All the while, a look alike of Star Jones being played by Tracy Morgan is yelling on the phone next to me saying, "Don't yell me to shut up! You shut up! You don't talk about our baby like that!" And the girl on the OTHER side of me got on and smelled like a mix between suntan lotion and old tacos. All in all I say it was a pretty amazing ride on the bus today.

Uneventful

2009-03-04T14:14:00.000-08:00

Do you ever want to post something on your blog but find that your life is too uneventful to post anything? Then after a week or two of not blogging, something significant enough happens that you feel like you can write something about it? That's how I feel right now.

Happy Birthday J-Baby!

2009-02-18T19:16:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU Jason! Turning the 2-8 today and looking as good as evah! Another picture from our honeymoon in St. Thomas (see last post). You're a hotty, hot, hot, HOT hubby and I love being with you and being married to you. Here's 10 things I like MOST about Jason:

1) He's got a great sense of humor.

2) He's a hotty, hot, hot, HOT. A 'good looking Korean' (GLK). And I'm the GLKW (Hopefully you can figure that one out without me helping you ;) Kind of an inside joke there. Probably dumb that I brought it up. Oh well. Oh and I love that he likes to work out and eat healthy (most of the time). And I love that he loves the outdoors. Ok, that was probably like 5 things there for number 2. Oops.

3) He's the most laid back person on the planet.

4) He's easy to please.

5) He's a smarty pants. And a deep thinker. And he's in dental school (what girl wouldn't like that about a guy?).

6) He's very understanding. Especially when I occasionally cry for no good reason at all.

7) He's a good cook. Sometimes better than me!

8) He writes cute little songs for me.

9) He's thrifty. A money saver.

10) He's a great conversationalist, and a good public speaker (like in church, ya know?).

How can I limit the list to just 10?!? Not possible. I hope you had a fantastational (??) birthday lover man! I love you!

Happy (late) Valentine's!

2009-02-16T13:35:00.000-08:00

I was just looking at some of our pics over the last year. We're going to be having our 1st anniversary in a couple of weeks. This is a pic from our honeymoon in St. Thomas. My hair is so short! And for some reason my face is so shiny! I miss the short stuff sometimes. Jason told me a few months ago that I had better not cut it that short ever again. I was like, 'even when I'm an old grandma?' I thought it was a pretty good look for me, and I'm pretty sure it'll be back sometime in the next 50 years (sorry Jason). But right now I'm sick of it being so short and I want it long again.

Not worth it!

2009-02-02T10:52:00.000-08:00

So this guy came into Sam's Club last week with this castle cake set thing his wife had gotten from Michael's. They wanted to know if we (Sam's Club) would do it for them. I guess it isn't obvious that the bakery at Sam's Club isn't some high end specialty bakery. Anyways, I told the guy we didn't do stuff like that (we just do sheet cakes and cupcakes and stuff). Then this other girl I work with in the bakery said to me, "you should do it for him at home!" And the guy was like, "yeah!" And I'm like, "uh, ok." I didn't think it would take very long and I told him I'd do it for 50 bucks (that includes the cost of the cake and the icing and the time I spent making the stupid thing). Not enough!! Supplies were like 20 bucks total and I spent like 6 hours making it. That was my Friday night. Awesome. It did turn out pretty cute though. Too bad that little girl whose birthday it was for was only turning 2 and wouldn't even appreciate it. So I'm posting it on the blog so that you could all appreciate it :)

What's up...

2009-01-28T14:37:00.000-08:00

We went and saw mall cop last Friday. It was pretty dang funny. I love Kevin James. And there wasn't any of the dirty stuff that you usually get in a comedy. We had a free movie pass because Jason went and gave blood last week. They were giving out free movies passes and coupons for free breadsticks from Dominoes. We went to the gym later that same night and Jason almost passed out since his body hadn't replenished the amount of blood that he gave earlier. He had to be attended to by some gym workers. They made him lie down and gave him crackers. In case you didn't know, you're not supposed to exercise for at least 24 hours after you give blood.

Some Utah time...

2009-01-14T12:26:00.000-08:00

Christmas break was awesome! The West is the best! We loved the cold weather and and the SNOW!! Loved it. Here's what we did...

We started off the vaca in Idaho with my sister Caroline and her family. It dumped a load of snow while we were there. We only got pictures of playing in the snow for some reason. But while we were there we also went snowboarding with them and made sugar cookies and played games and stuff like that!

I love making HUGE snowmen!! This one's name is Frenchy. Because of the way his hat was laid on his head.

Christmas Eve Party:

My Dad likes to play like he's Santa. He kind of is.

Just one picture of Christmas Day. We were too preoccupied with the day to take any pics, I guess :) But it was a great day!

Of course we went to temple square!!

My niece Janessa. I'm not sure what she's doin here.

Here's Jason with my nephew Jace. My little nephews loved playing playstation with him.

This is my great nephew, Peter. He LOVES my dad. This is him discovering icecicles.

And then discovering the stickers on oranges.

MORE temple square!

High School friends party! It was great to see everyone.

I went bowling with my bro Jeff and his fam while Jason went to Provo to hang out with his friend, Morgan.

Dinner with my friends Krista and Nicci on New Year's Eve.

Playing card games and waiting for the ball to drop...

Happy New Year's!!

We spent New Year's Day at my bro Jeff's house. They have Rock Band 2.

And to top it all off we spent our last day boarding at Snowbasin. Gondolas are the best.

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY little CHRISTMAS...

2008-12-14T13:32:00.000-08:00

We went with a dwarf tree this year. We're not going to be here for Christmas and we don't have any money anyways. Picked up this little baby at Michael's for 6 bucks. Don't be fooled, this tree emanates quite a load of Christmas spirit for it's tiny size. It's too bad we won't be sporting any gifts under it's cute petite branches...but we're gonna be heading off to Utah this Saturday for 2 whole weeks. I'm really excited!! I don't think the majority of my family has seen Jason since we got married in March. He stayed behind in Florida while I went home for a visit in August. We can't wait for a little cold weather and some SNOW!! Yeah!

Thanksgiving weekend :)

2008-12-01T16:38:00.001-08:00

For Thanksgiving we were down in Tampa at Jason's parents' house. Jason's sister Michelle and her family were there but his little sister, Irene is in France (where she served her mission) teaching English until April. Jason's mom did most of the cooking. Jason and I were on pie duty. We made 4 pies. Well, Jason made 1 and I made 3.

We made pumpkin, apple, lemon and a very berry (a mixture of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry). They were delicious!

Here's Jason playing with little Ephriam. He's a noisy little baby. He likes to here himself talk. He's so cute. It's really easy to make him smile and laugh, too.

Jason's mom also invited over the missionaries and some other friends in their ward. It made me think of Thanksgiving on my mission. We went to 3 different members' houses to eat. It was great but we were pretty much stuffed the entire day. At one of the member's houses we got a referral, which was pretty exciting. The member family had invited over some friends and we started teaching a family they had invited over as a result.

Elias playing play-doh with mom. Saturday or Sunday we discovered a big ball of play-doh all dried up behind the piano that Elias had left there.

Jason, Michelle, Elias and Ephriam! It's always fun hanging out with these guys. We're going to miss them when they move from Florida!! But we'll probably be moving pretty soon after they do.

Chillin' on the couch, digesting turkey and watching movies and such on TV. Gotta love Thanksgiving.

On Saturday we went to the beach. It was really warm! Probably upper 70's or even low 80's. The water was freezing!! But they're were tons of people laying out in their swimsuits and playing beach volleyball and such. I was wishing I had brought my swimsuit with me! On Saturday night we went to the movie Twilight and then we stayed and watched the new 007 movie Quantum of Solace. I've never stayed in a theatre to view a second movie for FREE. I felt like such a cheater. Twilight was pretty good but the 007 movie wasn't as great as I thought it would be. I think Twilight would've been a lot better if the guy who played Edward wouldn't have been so awkward. Plus his hair was atrocious. Ewe. But it was still pretty good. Well, that about sums up our Thanksgiving weekend. It was pretty great! I hope you all had a good one! Later...

Pics...

2008-11-23T17:21:00.000-08:00

Jason's weird dance with towel on head.

Jason's nap today. Notice the hand in the pants.

I got a haircut yesterday! I'm trying to get the front bang area to play catch up with the back. It seems like it has taken me FOREVER to get my hair to grow out from my super duper short 'do back when we got married in March.

Dinner at the Kim's

2008-11-19T18:40:00.000-08:00

One of the great things about being married to Heidi is that she is a great cook. It's not uncommon to come home to a house filled with the smells of a tender, juicy roast, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, or a mouth watering Cafe Rio salad (that's right, we have the recipe for the Cafe Rio pork salad, including the cilantro ranch dressing, and it's amazing). I've become accustomed to both the smells and the sights of delicious home cooked meals. Well, the other day I came into the kitchen and found this:

Whoa! Was I missing something here? Is this a new recipe or did Heidi just get really, really lazy? I guess recipes can be hard to find sometimes, and cooking does get pretty monotonous, but...HUH? Brings a whole new meaning to the term "natural ingredients." After a split second of pure horror and disbelief, Heidi informs me it's just frozen peanut butter cookie dough. Oh thank you.

Chris Farley Lives!!!

I never believed in reincarnation until I saw this:

Heidi's Birthday!

2008-10-31T05:59:00.000-07:00

Yep, it was my birthday this week (on Wednesday to be exact). I'm now 27. Whoa! Getting a little too close to 30! Jason invited some friends over last night to celebrate. I made these jackolantern pumpkin cookies. They were pretty tasty. Took me like all afternoon yesterday to make 'em. But it was fun. I'm not a huge fan of cake. It's OK, but I'd rather decorate a cake than eat it. I prefer cookies and rice krispie treats over cake. But I'd rather decorate a cake than decorate cookies or rice krispie treats! Needless to say, we did not have cake. ANYWAYS, it was fun having people over and hanging out. These are all of our church and dental school friends pictured here. Well, not all of them, but a lot of them. They're fun. Jason gave me the third book in the Twilight series, 'Eclipse.' Yes, I like these books though I feel a little dumb for saying it. I feel like trendy or something for reading them. Kind of like reading Harry Potter but on a much smaller scale. I hate Harry Potter. Jason also gave me a yoga mat so that I don't have to slip all over the carpet anymore while doing our yoga video at home. And so that I can show up at the yoga classes at the gym with my own mat and not have to worry about the sweat and germs of countless strangers that are all over the mats at the gym. I also got a couple of gift cards from Jason's parents and from my sister, Caroline. My parents gave me some clothes (including the shirt I am wearing in these pics) and some jewelry-making stuff (my mom felt like I needed more hobbies here). And they sent me some Cavanaugh's chocolates. Mmmm! Can't find those in Florida! Jason's parents are also coming up from Tampa this weekend to take us out to eat for my birthday. Awfully nice of them! Alrighty, well happy birthday to me and see ya later!

Test Stress

2008-10-27T16:40:00.000-07:00

It's funny how the only time I can find for blogging is when I have to study for a big test. I have been meaning to write about Heidi's gas station bathroom experience for some time now so here we go. So we're stopped at this gas station while on the way home from the Smokies and Heidi tell me she has to go to the bathroom. Ok, sure, no problem. You've been to the bathroom many times before, I'm sure you will have no troubles today. I finish pumping the gas and sit in the car. Now, it was taking her awhile, but one thing I have learned about girls and bathrooms is there no amount of time that is abnormal for a girl to be in a bathroom. Who knows, maybe she had a baby hairspray can and was trying to spray away 4 hours of head rest and wind, maybe she was just tired and wanted to take a nap. I don't know, I don't question. Anyway, I began to think that going to the bathroom was a good idea myself and headed inside. The door opened with a bell, what a nice touch for a gas station. I'm here gas station attendant, I'm here! Good thing that bell rang and you know I'm here. Now I can get that special gas station hospitality and service that I've grown to love over the years. Maybe I can eat some of your nasty fruit and get a disease. Anyway, the attendant tells me the bathrooms are outside. Yes, outside bathrooms! You know you're in a quality establishment when the doors open with a bell and the bathrooms are located outside next to the abandoned garage. Very nice. At least the bathroom key wasn't a key attached to a hubcap. I don't know what I would have done. Anyway, I head out to the bathrooms and hear something like my name, but I can't tell where it's coming from and continue with my business. When I'm leaving the bathroom I hear my name again, and it's coming from the women's bathroom.
"Jason! Jason!"
"Heidi?"
"I'm locked in here."
Now, I'm not gonna lie, I laughed. A lot. But I felt really bad because my bathroom was pretty disgusting and she'd been in there for awhile, unable to get out. So I run into the gas station and tell the attendant and he gives me the key. I run back and unlock the door. OK good, Heidi is laughing too. She didn't die from fumes. When I did open the door though, I noticed a big post-it note next to the lock, "DO NOT LOCK THE DOOR." Heidi informs me that she didn't see it. Awesome. After she realized she was locked in she found a little peep hole in the front of the door (which is kind of disturbing in itself) and just crouched there waiting for me to show up. I finally showed up, she yelled and I didn't hear her. So that was the sound I was hearing. Anyway, it was really really funny. And I don't think Heid was too traumatized from the experience.
Well, back to stress and studying. Good thing I found this video to help relax me. Thanks to Irene's blog for finding this gem.

The Smokies!!

2008-10-21T19:05:00.000-07:00

Hey!!! We went to the Smoky Mountains last week and it was GREAT! Very pretty. The leaves were all changing and the weather was perfect. We finally got a chance to use our tent that we bought with some of the gift certificates we got at our wedding. It's been too hot in Florida the last few months for camping. The campsite we were at didn't have showers so we had to go to another camp site to shower. There were separate shower units for the guys and the girls so I had to put some shampoo and soap in some leaves for Jason to take into his unit. There's this nearby city called Gatlinburg and it is the cutest, funnest little town I've ever seen! It kind of reminded me of Park City, only cooler. We didn't really get any pictures of it though, for some reason. We went hiking everyday and the longest one we went on was 8 miles round trip to a big cascading waterfall. I was always scared at night because I'm a scaredy cat and I kept thinking the sound of the falling leaves were people or animals (like black bears) walking outside our tent. Thank goodness for ear plugs! We were going to leave on Saturday but we actually decided to go home on Friday because it started raining early Friday morning and it was supposed to get much colder Friday night. It was a very long drive home because we got stuck in traffic in Atlanta. Plus Jason decided to get on the freeway going in the wrong direction after we stopped off for some gas. So we had to go through this one section of traffic twice! Awesome.

Parents in town...

2008-10-12T19:12:00.000-07:00

My parents flew in on Wednesday, October 1st. My dad had some business to do in the area and my mom wanted to hang out with us. So while my dad was out working and Jason was at school, my mom and I were chillin'...you know, cooking and doing laundry, we bought a bunch of stuff to make jewelry, we went to the temple in Orlando one day, we went on a lot of walks, and just hung out. It was pretty great. Last weekend we all went to Epcot and had some pretty amazing German food, all you can eat. The florentine cookies were my favorite. Then we watched conference at Jason's parents' house in Tampa and my parents experienced kimchi for the first time. Kimchi, for those of you who may not know, is like a Korean kind of condiment that they eat with almost everything, and it basically consists of cabbage and some weird radish and some other stuff, and it's all kind of sour and hot and spicy all at the same time. It's pretty good. Anyways, this weekend we hit a big flea market that goes on every weekend in a little town called Waldo just 20 minutes away from Gainesville, and Jason and I got ready for our trip we're taking to the Smoky Mountains starting tomorrow and throughout the rest of this week. We also played a lot of cards while my folks were here. We like to play this game called golf a lot. So that's the week and a half with the parents. More to come on the Smokies. Peace out.

Election '08

2008-10-01T15:51:00.000-07:00

I found this video today and I thought it was pretty interesting. I'm not usually one for forwarding inspirational stories, videos of funny babies laughing, or anecdotal advice that has been passed on from person to person until you get an email that's like 500 pages long, but I thought that this video was informative. Just to warn you, it's long and the format is really annoying. But as a consolation the music is hilarious. Especially the last song. Eat it up folks.

Being unemployed is the bomb!

2008-09-28T21:35:00.000-07:00

So I've been unemployed for the last 2 months and I thought I would get pretty restless after just a few days but I have to say that I quite enjoy it. I've been looking for a job and I've actually had 3 different job offers but they just didn't feel right to me. I really don't want to hate my next job as much as my last one. I guess I'm not totally unemployed since I do ChaCha for a few hours everyday. That brings in a little cash. I like watching afternoon reruns on TBS while I answer my little queries on the computer. Shows like just shoot me, yes dear, king of queens and seinfeld. They make me chuckle. I work out a lot more these days. I can go to way more classes at the gym since I quit my job. I'm getting sore in all these different places with classes like the jumping roping class and the step classes. I only went to the cycling classes before when I was working my life away behind a desk for 10 hours everyday. I run more often, too. I like to go in the morning right after I drop Jason off at school and before I eat breakfast. Then I read my scriptures. It's nice to be able to do what you want without bowing down to a rigid schedule. I'm just going to enjoy it while it lasts.

weekend in tampa

2008-09-21T13:07:00.001-07:00

This weekend we were in Tampa to visit Jason's folks and both of his sisters. Michelle lives in Jacksonville with her husband and 2 kids, but her husband (Jason) is out of town for a couple of weeks so she's staying in Tampa with the parents. And Irene headed off to New York to stay over for a few nights before she resumes flying to her final destination (France) for six months to teach english. So we had ourselves a little get together here. Elias decided he wanted to try doing some yoga with me and Jason. He's pretty good at it for a 2 year old.

sweaters + sequins = awesome

2008-09-19T20:17:00.000-07:00

Gainesville is such a great place to live. There is sooooooooo much to do! Yeah!! Like the other night we had the hardest time choosing between all these things we could do. I mean, we had the choice of watching a movie, going bowling, going for a walk in the suffocating humidity, bar hopping on University Avenue with all the college kids, or walking around the mall. I know, exciting right?! Well, the winner ended up being walking around the mall. We happened upon some very tasteful halloween apparel, like these shirts. Very nice. Who wouldn't want to wear shirts with sequined pumpkins?

Excellent Mr. Lee

2008-09-14T13:21:00.000-07:00

Today Heidi and I gave talks in Church. I'll have to admit, there were some choice moments that I thought were pretty funny. Little did I know that the funniest moment was coming AFTER the talk. I was walking out of the chapel when a guy says to me, "Excellent talk Mr. Lee. Excellent. Excellent." HAHAAAA. It was amazing. I can't blame the guy I guess (see last post about Asians all looking alike). Maybe he thought I was Bruce Lee's relative or something. Anyway, Heidi and I got a good laugh out of it.

Who do the Chinese think they're fooling?

Good news tonight. China is finally going down. Yes, that's right, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) is finally going to investigate the ages of those tiny people on the Chinese Gymnastic team. Finally. It really took them that long to figure out those girls weren't 16? C'mon! Granted, all Asians look EXACTLY the same (I know, I"ve been mixed up many times. "You're Chris right?" "No, I'm Jason, Chris is the other asian guy." "Oh...sorry, you guys all look the same."), but when you get a 4 footer that weighs sub 50 pounds, isn't that kind of a red flag? They see these tiny, asian, stick people doing all those twists and turns, tumbling right next to these normal sized human beings who all of a sudden look gigantic and what are they thinking? "Man, we really need to get off those quarter pounders. We are really gettin' big." C'mon IOC, you can do better than that.
