Blissful Beach Day

 1/4000 sec at f/ 2.0 ISO 400 (had to turn up the ISO bc we were in the shades) All photos in the sun shot at 1/4000 sec at f/ 2.0 ISO 100 I took last Friday off to relax with the family, we decided to head to the beach since Kaylee can't get enough of the sand. I love how peaceful the beach is at this time of year. The sun was luminous and bright with a nice cool ocean breeze. Not too hot, simply perfect fall weather. The tourist season is over so we felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. Hope you are having a great week so far!

We ate so well while we were in Minneapolis! My tummy was extremely food happy! I am still trying to work out to lose all those weights I gained! I cant get enough of Korean food! Love Kalbi Our friendship continues where we left off even years passed July was a blissful month filled with joyous time with family and friends. We made wonderful memories during that month and it was so precious seeing Kaylee play with her cousin. Every time I go back home, I wish I live closer to my family:(  Happy Wednesday! Hooray for August!

Happy Retirement To My Parents!

Blog post dedicated to my parents on their retirement! Dad with my niece, Vivian Mom with Kaylee Mom and the girls of the family With my sisters and and sister in law With sister and Niece Two babies of the family What we call our home now wasn’t easy to begin with. My father was taken away from our family to a concentration camp where he was tortured and punished by the communist during the Vietnam War. Since my father scarified for his country we had the opportunity to go overseas and start a new life in America, the land of new opportunities. My oldest sister was left behind with her family in Vietnam and was not able to start a new journey with the rest of our family because her husband and children were not allowed to come. My parents envisioned a new beginning and to achieve a life that they have always dreamt of. In 2008, our family was reunited again. My oldest sister made a journey for herself to start a new life with her children and husband in America

Home is where the heart is, and that's where my heart will always be. Having my own family, I truly understand the concept of family and how precious and valuable my family is. I never lost that concept, but makes me even more appreciative of my parents and siblings. Being home for a week with my family definitely warm my heart after two years being away from home.

Die. 2. or try to wait and live an
