We’d a wonderful time in Chicago. Before we arrived at Chicago, we visited friends in Urbana-Champaign. They have a little boy about 1 year 2 months old. He is really cute and getting with us really well too. The host too showered us with many many baby gifts! I guess Andy really had a great time spending with the old friends especially he had a chance to just sit down, chat and drink beer with his ex-roommate just like the old time. The next day they took us to the campus to have a tour. It’s a really big campus if to compare to UofA campus. We had Korean food for lunch and left Urbana-Champaign to Chicago. After 2 1/2 hours of driving, we finally arrived at Chicago downtown. We had a hard time to locate the hotel since the GPS kept telling us to turn right and turn right. I guessed the GPS got really confused in the city. Any how, we used the old style technology, took out our map to locate the hotel. About 1/2 hour later, we finally arrived at the hotel. After checking in, Andy requested for a king sized bed. We went up to 41st floor for our room. Another surprise, we entered the big room, we can’t believe it has a split level master bedroom, a bathroom with jacuzzi, shower room and toilet. Then a office room, a lounge, a fireplace, and a dining area. Em.. we were wondering if we entered to the wrong room. Then we went out and checked again, well it’s 4100 our room. After going around, we realize that we were given a presidential suite. We were ecstatic about that because it’s our first time ever to be in a presidential suite. That was the highlight of our trip. Besides having a great room, we also enjoyed strolling down the street of Chicago, eating pizzas, touring the museum and visitng the Chinatown. Basically it was a very relaxing trip for us because we both have been to Chicago, and we don’t want to have a hectic shedules to visit places after another. At night, we could watch firework and beautiful scenery from our room too. After two days enjoying ourselves like a king and a queen, we had to journey back to Fayetteville. By the time we got back it was about midnight. Andy was so tired of driving and next day he went to work like a panda bear because of lack of sleep. I was exhausted too, and slept almost the whole day. I guess i’m more blessed because i didn’t have to work. It was like a second honeymoon for us, we thank God for everything God has blessed us throughout the trip.

We’re going away to Chicago this weekend. We’re very exciting about the trip even though we both have been to Chicago in different occasion. This time it’s special because it will be our big trip before the baby is born. I guess it’s still a different trip because it’s three persons family trip from now on. We’ll update you more when we get back.

We attended another friend’s wedding. It seems like weddings are scheduled one after one another. But today’s wedding it’s special because the ceremony was held in the same church that we had for ours. It just seems yesterday we had ours and brings us fond memory of our small wedding at this little church of NWA. Once again, in this solemn moment reminds us of our commitment and convenant to each other and to God. We enjoyed the wedding! Not only help us to remember the new chapter of our lives together, but also God has blessed us with a baby boy this coming September. Also include my “big” tummy picture, it’s growing pretty big now i think.

07 May 2007 A boy or a gril??
 |  Category: Pregnancy  | One Comment

It’s my 21st weeks of pregnancy. We had a doctor visit today and found out about the gender of the baby. Wen Hsin’s dream came true and literary she dreamt that we were having a boy. Well, the baby is doing very well and constantly kicking and moving inside. The doctor says i should feel the baby anytime which i still can’t tell it’s baby’s moving or just my gaseous tummy.. As we’re looking at the baby, we’re amazed at the wonderful workmanship of God. I was also reminded of the Psalm 139

13 For you created my inmost being;
       you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
       your works are wonderful,
       I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
       when I was made in the secret place.
       When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
       All the days ordained for me
       were written in your book
       before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
       How vast is the sum of them!

  We’re so excited about the news and just want to share this great news with you. We hope you rejoice with us!
