Official Baby Name

We now have a new official name for our baby.We did love the name
헤빈 Hae Byn,

but when we realized that the baby's own grandma made fun of it we came to
the conclusion that many others would as well.
So now her name is......
손하진 Ha Jin
The name has a lot of meaning for us

하 (Ha) comes from the 하 in 하동 Ha Dong the wonderful village Boo was
born and grew up in. Boo and I both love Ha Dong, we are going to
buy some land in Ha Dong and
retire there.

The day we had our wedding party there.
One of the happiest days ever!

Picking persimmons there

grave.

The 진 (Jin) comes the 진 in 진주 Jin Ju.
Jin Ju is the town that Boo's family moved to
after they moved from Ha Dong. It is a small busy town that
never changes. Boo's mom still lives there.

Also as a nice coincident our Nieces names are
Yoe Jin

and Ha Bin so the name is also similar to theirs.

We are still brainstorming middle names
I like Haleiwa
after my favorite North Shore town in Hawaii
but Boo thinks it will sound strange.

We want the middle name to either represent a
city that has meaning or to represent someone with a
lot of character.
We are also thinking of Rosa
after Rosa Parks
Any other suggestions for Middle names?

Oops! And Juny Pictures

Juny has been extra spoiled lately.
I have been getting really bad leg cramps lately
so now Boo and I wake up an hour early every morning and
take Juny for a walk.

We went coat shopping today but instead came
home with a new friend for Juny Ju.

We also got a space heater because our house gets
really cold at night. Juny now has a new favorite spot right
infront of the heater.

I am thinking she might think she is human!

Now the Oops! Part. So yesterday Boo and I were headed out to the car
for church. We both got to the car and stood by it for a while. After a few moments we realized that neither of us were making attempts to open the car.
Than we played the "No YOU have the keys" game.
After about 30 seconds we came to the great conclusion that we locked ourselves out of
our house and our car!
We decided to walk to church and see if there were any ex-convicts there that knew how to
brake into a house. We go there and the one man who's job it is to install locks said he did not have the tools to help. However another man overheard the conversation and went to our house with Boo. With the help of our neighbor they were able to kick in the door. After church the nice man gave us the tools we needed to put our door back together. We had to sleep the night with the door partly opened while the wood glue was setting. This morning Boo put the door knob back on and it is as good as new!! Well almost!
Moral of the lesson...it's not a good idea to lock your keys in your house!

On second thought maybe I won't put my Dr. in a headlock

So last time I saw the Dr. I waited two hours for her to
tell me in three minutes that I gained to much weight.
Since than I have been picturing putting her in various headlocks and
giving her a good talking to.
WRONG thing to say to a hormonal pregnant woman!!
Today I had another Dr. Appointment. This time I prepared a dissertation
of comebacks should she say I gained to much weight.
I waited for over two hours again for another short appointment.
But this time she said I was going at a good weight gain pace, the baby's heart sounded great, my blood pressure was good
and that I was measuring right on. She also helped me cut in line to get my H1N1 shot today.
So even though I ended up being 20 minutes late I decided to not to go through with the headlock!
It is getting really close Sunday marks 7 months!
I like this stage of pregnancy because I am out to everyone,
I am visibly knocked up and should the baby be born tomorrow
everything is formed, small but formed. She would survive. But I am counting on two
more months of baking before our baby is done cooking.

October Books

I made A new goal to try and read three books a month.
It does not matter if they are lite reads, heavy reads, fiction,
books for work or what have you.
Just as long as I read three books.
The month of October I read four. So every
month I am going to post what I read. If anyone knows
of a good book PLEASE share I am always looking for a new read.


This one was pretty entertaining and a very easy read.
I liked it because it was like reading a Sex and The City episode.
Just mainly about three girls and their friendship with one another.

I did not know there is a movie out of this book.
It is about a troubled Pregnant American women who's
husband left her and little sister comes from California to
help her out. I liked all the French influence in the book, but the plot does
not really evolve in a way that really captivates a reader. A nice book to read on a
long airplane ride.

This book I borrowed from one of my friends at
swimming aerobics class. She was married to a Korean Man
about 30 years ago and so when she found out I am married to a
Korean Man she and I connected. The book was written by her friend
that she met while she lived in Korea. The book tells of her friend's experience
being married to a Korean Man when Korea was under Japanese occupation.
It goes into detail the style of house she lived in and how she lived in the Korean
country side. I really enjoyed this book and had seen some of the style of house she lived in while
I lived in Korea.

I finally finished the Book of Mormon again.
It took me way longer than it should have. This time I high lighted all
of the references of Christ in it. I liked reading it that way, it kept me more alert about what I was reading about. I can't decide if I should start to re-read it
or start reading the epistles of Paul in New Testament.
As always a great read!
