Computer Malfunction

I was going to post pictures from this weekend's baby shower so that y'all could meet some of our friends here, but my computer is not cooperating with me tonight. I promise this is not just a cop-out for not blogging today. Pictures to come tomorrow...

Happy Birthday, Annie!

Today is a very special day! It is the day one of my besties came into the world...

Annie Mun, you are a blessing sent from God. You are my sister, my friend, my heart twin. In you I have found a confidante, a comforter, and an example of who I want to become. I have always looked up to you for your sincere faith, your discerning heart, your humility... You have a genuine love for people that truly mimics Christ's. I have been so blessed to be able to call you friend. I love you so much! And I will be keeping you close to my heart in prayer...

Love and hugs from Oklahoma...

SNOW-klahoma!

Here are a few pictures from the snow storms a few weeks ago...

The view from our apartment:

This wasn't my car, but all the cars in our lot basically looked like this:

Terry parked at Wal-Mart all week and walked home cuz our parking lot was impossible to get in and out of!

The funniest part about the whole thing was that the people in Tulsa seriously thought it was the end of the world! Here's a picture of the shelves at Wal-Mart:

Well, we got through two weeks without bananas and potatoes. :) We can officially say that we survived "Snow-pocalypse!"


The snow storms were followed by a week of 70-degree weather, but this week we've been reminded that it's still winter. Chilly temperatures...but still doing oKAY in OK. :)

CHALLENGE: BLOG EVERYDAY!

To our 10 followers, as you have noticed, we are not very good about blogging. Well, that is about to change. Today, Veronica Shin Kim and I made a commitment to blog everyday--yes, e-ver-y-day! The idea is that doing this will actually make it easier to blog (blogging everyday = quick one-liners vs. blogging every week/month = too much time thinking of something meaningful/interesting to write). So...we'll see how it goes!

Check up on Ver, too: www.paulandvern.wordpress.com.

A few things we've learned in OK...

1. Oklahoma is not considered part of the Midwest; it is actually more officially considered part of the South or Southwest, according to this census map:

2. Many small businesses, restaurants, and certainly liquor stores close on Sundays. (Why specifically mention liquor stores, you ask? Well, one Sunday I decided that I wanted to make vodka sauce for pasta. You can't buy hard liquor at your neighborhood market or Wal-Mart--they just don't sell it! You have to go to a liquor store. Soo... we didn't have vodka sauce that night.) We're the buckle of the Bible belt... Go figure.

3. When asked, "Where are you from?" what people really mean is, "What is your ethnic background?" (that is, if you're ethnic-looking)

4. Where do you go to see Asians in Tulsa? When my sister came to visit, she kept noticing how we were the only Asians everywhere we went. Well, after she left, I called her and said, "Unni, I found the Asians." And where was I?

Don't recognize this place? Here's a picture from the outside:

Yup, Borders. :) Some things don't change across borders... (get it? HA!)
Okay, sorry... Well, that will be all for today.

Still doing okay in OK :)

Who's coming next?? :)

J/K!

Hi everybody!

My bad for taking so long to follow up on our last blog post! I meant to do it like the next day...but uh...August was kind of a busy month. In any case, it was a joke. Sadly, we do not live in that beautiful barn house. Our apologies to those who believed us...we feel evil for having deceived you! But...I have to admit...kind of made the post worth it. ;) heehee

Finally, here are the real pictures of our apartment:

The Living Room

The Dining Room

The Kitchen

The Guest Room

The Master Bedroom

(I thought everyone would know that the barn post was a joke because I talked about our apartment in an earlier post... I guess the little story I made up about the barn house was pretty convincing!!)

Anywho...we've added some furniture and decorations even since taking these pictures...the place keeps changing! hehe But we love it and we're thankful to be able to call it "home." Hope you all can come visit us and make use of the guest room!

We miss you!!

Love,

The Kays
