I LOVE AUTUMN AND WINTER SEASONS! God’s creativity leaves me in awe . . .
Autumn – beautiful and different shades of leaves [plus hubby’s birthday and Thanksgiving]
Winter – breathtaking snow that blankets everything [plus Jesus' birthday]
A special note to all who showered me with love on my birthday [10.04] ———-
Just to pour my heart out to you all . . . I started my birthday in a somewhat dismal way. Some of you know, some of you don’t. I’ve never really been a huge fan of my birthdays b/c I just feel weird receiving such graciousness. On top of that, my birthday a few years back was the day that my late brother first got admitted to the hospital for his cancer. And as much as I don’t want to keep thinking back on that, I can’t help but feel solemn on my birthdays without him. On top of that, I’ve been struggling a lot at work, and it especially hit me hard that day. The only thing that kept me going was constantly looking at the gorgeous floral and balloon bouquet that my hubby sent me. My point in this is not to depress you, but to express to you how much I appreciate each of YOU! I was overwhelmed with each word, thought, smile, gift that came my way [I am spoiled!]. Despite the restaurant’s mishaps, the black food stuff stuck in my teeth that no one told me about all night [eww], my poor bowling night, and generally rough day, my heart OVERFLOWED with joy as each of you contributed to my bliss. God knows exactly what I need for encouragement and continues to show me glimpses of heaven through my encounters with you. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE!
Extra special thanks to my hubby!
Much love and gratitude to you all!

We had Salty’s brunch for the first time to celebrate Mama Chung’s birthday [early]. Hers is exactly one week from mine, and then Mama Kim’s birthday is exactly one week from that.
