Janie & Paul's Wedding
June 24, 2007

It seems as though all the family events come in bunches. Just a few weeks after my cousin Bernard got married my other cousin Janie got married. However, unlike Bernard & Minjoo, Janie & Paul has been dating for a LONG time... 5 years to be exact! I commend them for being SOOOO patient all these years. This wedding was very special because unlike my other cousins Janie was always close by and I really got to see her grow into the woman she is now. I literally have seen her go through each stages of her life. She was very much a part of my life. So seeing her getting married was, well to say the least, very touching. Here are some pictures, however, I'm still waiting for some pictures from my brother Curtis, as well as snapshots of our family taken by random people.

A Happy Weekend

This weekend was truly a blessed weekend. Not only was Janie & Paul getting married, but our aunt Gina (Jin-Hwa) who was visiting from Korea to attend both Bernard & Janie's wedding, decided to dedicate her life to Christ. She was baptized on June 23rd at Temecula Korean SDA Church (actually Helen & Tae's pool). She was baptized by dad, Pastor Song. Along with her 4 other church members were baptized as well.
