Happy Father's Day to all the dads and soon to be dads! (Which is me too, kind of funny that I picked this day to blog.) Anyway, our little baby is doing well and on next Thursday will be the official seven month marker. She is definitely starting to show and I am pretty sure it is getting uncomfortable, but it is okay. Our baby is still very active moving a lot and we talk and read books to her a lot in English and in Korean. ^^

Other than that still working at the hospital and I will start taking graduate classes in the fall for TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) at the university here in town. I will be busy!

Just now, things aren't too complicated yet just preparing for the baby and going through everything in the house. We are switching rooms from the guest bedroom to my old room and the baby's room will be right next to it in my brother's old room. So, there has been a lot of moving, donating things, organizing stuff, etc.
We also have a small garden on the deck; a green pepper plant, a red pepper plant, and three tomato plants. Everything is going well and so far the vegetables have been very delicious!

At night we have been watching Korean dramas which are always intense, exciting, and emotional at the same time. I think they would catch on here and people would be addicted to them. We often argue with each other about them about Korean culture and the Korean mind vs. here. How they match, or how they don't match and how why do some things matter so much to them, and then she might say it is only a drama. Which I will reply, well it is in the drama, so in one form or the other that is based on the society as a whole. I won't go on too much into this, but we have fun!

That is all for now!
