Wedding Photos
Mar 14th
Our wedding was on November 28th at St. Thomas Catholic Church in Hattiesburg, MS. We finally received our photos yesterday. It was a long drawn out process to get our photos and involved threatening our photographer with criminal charges. I will probably explain more in a later post but for now here are some of the photos.

I will post more photos later in the weekend along with an update on what we have been doing since I last updated here.
Snow and Birds
Jan 30th
We are still in Kentucky and are here for at least another few days. The plan is to head to Little Rock on Wednesday to spend a couple of days with my aunt and then back to Hattiesburg,MS by Friday. We are in the middle of a huge snow storm here in Kentucky. We were supposed to get snow last night but it really didn’t start until about noon today. We have gotten a few inches already and are expecting about 8-10 inches total. Today was a pretty good day for photos. Here are a few from today:
Downy Woodpecker
Redhead and Fruitloops
He let me get a couple of shots.
Grammy, JJ and Sheeba
Socks was not that into the snow.
Cutie
This guy loves this tree in my grandparent's yard.
Deer
Jan 23rd
As you can see, we had some luck with our deer cam. We put out a bunch of corn and they seemed to enjoy it. We actually have been having to feed them twice a day. There are a couple of does that have been eating all the corn during the day and then letting the bucks have the crumbs at night. I started putting out most of the corn right before dark. The camera is actually set up about 30 yards from the house. I still can’t believe that the bigger deer have gotten this close to the house! We have been experimenting with moving the camera around for the perfect shot. I am sure that we will continue to try to capture some more images. There is a 10 point around here that I really want to get a shot of.
Can you see the coon?
This one appears to be a singer!
These two have eaten all of corn.
Studying Korean and a Deer Cam Intro
Jan 22nd
The picture really does not have that much to do with studying Korean except this is the new background for my twitter page which has been my new way to study Korean. I found TWIPL which is a Korean application to post photos on Twitter. I commented on a couple of photos in Korean and exchanged a couple messages with Korean Twitter users. I also started posting a few photos on TWIPL myself. For the last few days a few of my posts have been commented on by Korean speakers and I have been trying to post as much as I can in Korean. I have been pretty proud of the amount of their replies that I understand but still am having to use my dictionary, Google translator and JJ way too much for answering messages in Korean. I have started back with my flash card system and already have about 100 new words to learn. I also am back using the Seogang Series of text books. I am following about 10 Koreans on Twitter and hopefully will begin to understand more and more of their messages without assistance.
Deer Cam
I put out a wildlife camera a few days ago. The first few nights the camera was set up away from the house in the middle of the woods. We had no luck so my grandfather and I bought some corn and moved the camera closer to the house. We had seen some deer tracks and hoped for the best. We did get some photos but are having some problems with the flash firing way too early or way too late. We had given thought to opening the machine and attempting to fix it but decided that it would be way too advanced for us to do it. I will post more over our results tomorrow! I will say that all of our corn was gone and today I had to feed them twice.
Deer Camera with corn as bait
You can see the quality is very low...Not even a megapixel
These two does ate all my corn.
