| On July 31, 2008 @ 3:51 p.m., Hana and I became the proud parents of Timothy Jongha Kim Yi.
Pictures and more to come after lots of rest.
*edit* I AM tired... Since when did I become a Kim? |

| Hello world. Hello everybody. Hello you.
I think its been nearly a year since I've written anything substantial. So hopefully this will suffice.
Hana and I have been in Charlotte since August, staying with my parents. Its a nice place and we have our own rooms and stuff. If anybody is in the area, let me know since we have more than enough space to accommodate you!
It feels strange, being in Charlotte, mainly because I don't know anyone here. Even now, the only people that I talk to on a regular basis are my family, my church youth group, and some of the church people here. I don't really have friends to hang out with or anything. But oh well. That's life in Charlotte.
Right now, I've been volunteering as my church's youth director. I'm not a youth pastor, but I do basically the same things. The only difference is that I'm doing it for free. ohhhhhhhhhhh well. Its all because I didn't attend seminary or get some kind of Christian education.
Its amazing how I've been able to survive at this church for so long. The kids themselves are o.k., but sometimes... all I can say is that kids these days know things that they shouldn't know for a looooooooong time. I've had middle schoolers quoting Borat or telling me about how their friends do drugs or got pregnant. IN MIDDLE SCHOOL! It makes me worried to have Timothy in such a broken world =(
I feel so disconnected. Ever since I came back from Korea,. I haven't really talked to anyone besides my old roommates. Even now, I wonder how some of you kids are doing. I'm worried that I might have forgotten some of your names =(
I just finished my EMT class and passed the state certification test, so HOPEFULLY I'll be able to finally apply for an EMT position. Just in case you don't know, EMT stands for Emergency Medical Technician, or in layman's terms, the ambulance driver. My goal is to move up to Paramedic and then hopefully either PA (Physician's Assistant) or RN (Registered Nurse) or if I feel crazy, Doctor? I don't know, we'll see. I never would have imagined that I would take these kinds of jobs or even considered them.
Somehow, Hana and I have been able to keep our bank accounts from crashing through my tutoring and Hana teaching Korean school on the weekends. Its not much, but we don't go out THAT much. Although the huge influx of wedding gifts and baby shower stuff really helped =P
There are so many things that I miss about San Diego and the life that I had there. I remember all the punishments, the games, the lunches and dinners with you kids, being excited to go to CCM, going to Living Hope on the weekends, and just plain old having fun. I especially miss the weather. Once you live in SD, I think its impossible to live anywhere else. We actually have seasons in Charlotte.
I feel like my college years are so far away now. I seriously believe that getting married automatically adds 5 years to your life. Having a kids adds an extra 5 years. You kids used to call me Ah juh shi. I feel like one now. So Danny, after you get married to Ashley, you'll feel 5 years older. Trust me.
I wish I could go see Danny and Ashley get married. I'm really praying that Timothy will come just a LITTLE bit earlier than expected, so that he can be old enough to travel without us having to worry about diseases and him making too much of a fuss. But I don't know. With me starting a new job and plane tickets being as expensive as they are now... Who knows?
Timothy is getting very big inside Hana's tummy. He kicks A LOT. I feel bad for Hana because she feels every single kick and squirm. Sometimes, she can figure out which part of Tim's body is hitting her. She'll tell me, oh this feels like his butt, this feels like his foot, this is his hand, etc. Its amazing. You can't really see a fist coming out like Alien's, but you can feel it kick and see some kind of movement as Timothy moves around. We got one of those 3D Ultrasounds, and Hana claims that Timothy looks just like me when I was a baby. I just think that all babies look alike when they're born =P
I'm relieved that I don't have a daughter yet. If I did, I think I would have to go out and buy a shotgun. A big one. With lots of bullets.
But yes. Its a boy, so we've been shopping for lots of boys stuff. For those financially secure, you can look up our baby registry at Babies R Us. Just look for Hana Yi. or Hana Kim. I can't remember which name its under, but its somewhere. In Charlotte.
Good bye children. Who knows when I'll write again? |

I just have to take my test, and I will be free from studying (I mean procrastinating).
Oh and we're going to have a boy. And his name is Timothy.
