i love this picture and i love this quote enjoy!

"not all those who wander are lost"-- J.R.R. Tolkien

the picture is from an upcoming movie Another World, which the idea of the movie is fascinating to me, but it also looks like a sad movie. but i find this picture absolutely breathtaking!

my popogigo!

my dad is swell! really he is swell! i should have posted this a while ago but i have been busy living the nyc life ha. father's day weekend i went to DC to party with jeru friends and we ended up telling a lot of dad stories and when i say we i mean to say mainly me ha. kidding. but i really did have a lot of dad stories, really good ones that my friends enjoyed. i always think that i need to write more of these stories down so that i can share them with my kids one day. but i probably should check some of my facts with daddy kim first. the title of this is my popogigo (way off on the spelling) but that is what i like to callmy dad whenever he comes in the door from work! so the story behind that is a few years ago my roommates and i bought a chirstmas tree and my one roommate addie thought we should call it popogigo. and that is because in the movie Santa Clause with Tim Allen an elf was giving all the names of santa clause in different languages and popogigo was one of them and we all thought it was hilarious so the name of our chirstmas tree that year was popogigo. sooo then i also like to call my dad mr. popageorgio (from family vacation: las vegas, watch again you'll see, so great, "mr popagerogio your usual table") somehow popagerorgio turned into popogigo and since daddy kim is like santa clause because he likes to spoil me i think the name is fitting. (sorry sorry people for my crazy train of thoughts)so i thought i share one of the many great stories of my daddy kim before i sign off. Daddy kim. BK. is the candy man at church. literally. kids come up, including me, asking him for candy. he always has plenty. but daddy kim likes to make people work for the treat. one thing that he makes a little girl in our stake say to him before she can get a sucker is "boy do you look handsome today!" and the way this cute little girl says it, is just the best! pretty good i know. enjoy. and

enjoy this picture of june and daddy kim. daddy kim giving his usual neck kisses. ps june is smitten with daddy kim. she gets all shy and flirty with him sooo tender!

I can't believe she is ONE years old!

I can't believe little Junie is a year old. I'd like to take this opportunity to mention that I was the first Aunt to visit her in the hospital!! Anyways I remember at the hospital holding her for the first time and just thinking how little she was and how unbelievable it was to love someone so much that you have just met. I love my little niece June! She is the cutest, and pretty much every time I see her I tell her that I am her favorite and that I will bake her lots of yummy treats. Obviously from these pictures our relationship is going to be great!

i like this city

I've been in this city for about a month, and I have hardly taken any pictures. I just haven't taken my camera around with me because it is so big buuuut one of my wandering days I did take my camera and this is what I have to show for it. A Succession galleria with one of my favorite artist Klimt. Guggenheim museum. Walking all down fifth ave. And then all through Central Park. I walk a lot here and I love it, but my knee doesn't ha.

i love this woman

My Mom and I on Easter did a self-timer with June, which ended up taking three pictures. I thought it was hilarious that my Mom jumped in the picture. We look so silly! Love these two girls in the picture!

i love mother teresa!

a little tid bit

overheard in nyc walking in rain this afternoon... "ewww i would totally not judge him, no, no." one. love the ewww. two. i love to judge people. three. hey hey no no!

the little thing i learned today about nyc. green street signs are the normal plain street signs. blue are named after somebody "important". annnnnd brown are historical streets. oh and the black street signs down by wall street are from the original dutch territory, um possibly something like that. ha

well i have been settling into this crazy city. for the most part i have been walking around A LOT. visiting lots of bakeries, sometimes even two bakeries in one day. learning the subway system that i always want to call the metro annnd finding some babysitting jobs. havent had any full days for the museums that i have wanted to visit... i need unlimited amount of time at these museums.

packing

there is only one good thing about packing! discovering new outfits. i am a firm believer in dress up, just ask my dear friend lindsay wells who said every time we went out I would play dress up with my clothes looking for the best outfit. and like my sister megan believes I usually ended up with the first outfit picked out. so as i have been avoiding packing, and making outfits... it's all thanks to moving out to nyc tomorrow night.

let me nyc adventure begin, please don't melt me nyc! ha
