Shower Prep

My mother and sister are throwing Jaeyoun a lingerie shower(Woo! Hoo! Isn’t this kind of for me) tomorrow morning at 10:30. I will be kicked out of the house around 9. I haven’t exactly figured out what I am going to do, but I will probably take my laptop to Starbucks and kill a few hours.
Jaeyoun and I spent the day running errands for my mom and ourselves. We picked up her wedding dress from the cleaners and also met with our organist/pianist. Have you ever met one of those people who is just happy to be alive? This was our first time to meet Cristina/ Mrs Moreland. She helped us pick wedding music and she was fabulous. I mean she plays the piano wonderfully, but as a person she was lovely. As soon as we started talking to her, I knew that we had picked the right person to play music at our wedding. She almost made both of us cry with her music and comments. She told us that she uses her music to bless our wedding. She goes to mass everyday and hardly ever misses a day. What a lady!~
We also hung pictures and mirrors at the house day. We both earned our keep.
JJ cooked for us tonight and after a great dinner, I had to steam the carpet and get the house ready for tomorrow. My sister and her husband went shopping and then came back and helped. The girls polished silver and made floral arrangements and the guys watched tv and played computer games. We did a little bit of work here and there, but they carried most of the load. I also got to meet my new nephew ,Joey, tonight for the first time. What a sweet kid~! I think I got him hooked on tower defense.
Look at that floor!

Due to some scheduling problems and my sister-in-law’s father being in the hospital and my brother recovering from back surgery, I got to baby-sit my nephew for the day. JJ, my mother, and sister were going to watch him, but they needed to get some shopping done. Jack and I had a grand time and I didn’t even have to change him one.(Thanks Sarah!) It was fun spending time with him, but it does make me realize that JJ and I are no where near ready to have a kid.
Random Paris Photos Day 1-3
2My computer sorted my photos based on North American time, so I can’t recall exactly when I shot most of these. I believe most of them are from Day 3 when we visited the tower and walked around Trocadero. I wish I would have gotten a picture of all the gypsies asking us if we speak English. I always brushed them off and never knew exactly what they wanted besides money. There was also a hustler who tried to pull the ole you dropped a ring trick. I nearly kicked him as he was that close to me. We also walked over to Hotel des Invalides which was beautiful. The leaves were blowing everywhere and I am going to have to dig through my files to find some more shots.
I hate this effect, but.......
Car Shopping, Soup and a Spotted Moose

JJ and I have spent about a week trying to find a car here in Hattiesburg. We visited a bunch of car dealers(Late at night, so to stay away from aggressive salesmen), checked out the classifieds and scoured the internet. We had been driving by mom’s Honda CRV and decided that we really wanted something that size. We found a 2007 Santa Fe that was a pretty good price. We test drove it and found that the driver’s seat was too small. Basically, the seat would not go back enough for me to sit comfortably. We then went to Mack Grubbs Hyundai in Hattiesburg . We found a used 2008 Santa Fe with about 30,000 miles that was in our price range. The size of the 2008 had been extended and I could actually sit without my knees touching the steering wheel. We dealt with Eric Tengan who was knowledgeable, but still a car salesman. (Sorry Eric!) We felt like we got a good deal and both Eric and Keith(The sales manager) were curious about Hyundai in Korea and were both surprised to hear that the Sonata was used by taxi drivers.
JJ and I love the new car, but I am sure that my mother is happy that I no longer have to steal her car.
I am about to idea one more item to the menu for the wedding reception. This guy has been causing me all kinds of problems. Not only has he stolen a bunch of shoes from our garage, but he also came my dog the mange. Boshintong may be added at the last second to the menu. If you are outside of Korea or don’t know what I am talking about click on the link.
About a 3 months ago, he gave my dog, Moose, the mange. Moose lost all of his hair and the mange spots grew back grey. I don’t think I could kill him, but it looks like my brother-in-law and I will trap him and set him loose in the country. He doesn’t have a collar and will probably be killed by one of our neighbors(or me) if we don’t catch him soon. There is no humane society in Lamar county, so really the Sheriff’s office told me good luck and to handle the problem.
Moose’s new look: Spotted. I may go out and buy him some “Just For Men”
