Usually, I always go with him to the hair shop when he gets a haircut.  I need to be a translator so I can explain to the designer how she can cut his hair.  And I wait him for a while.  It is not a big deal to me, but I don't want him to go with me when I have to get a perm.  Because, definitely, he would be bored a lot.  These are photos of his last haircut on a sunny spring day. :)

My friends recommended one small concert at this cafe.  So, Mike and I went to Veloso with them to enjoy a concert of underground singers.  We paid 15,000 won and could enjoy concert with one drink.  It was an unbelievable price!  It was a great time to listen to live songs.  I couldn't move in the middle of the concert because her voice captivated me.

These three guys, Mike and my friends, talked and analyzed their cameras with each other before and after the concert.  Kind of this guy's talking bored me. :(

This is part of SamcheongGak where we will hold our wedding.  I've dreamed of having my wedding in a small garden for a long time.  When I saw some pictures of a wedding here, right after, I thought it would be a perfect space to have my wedding ceremony.  And Mike really loves this garden wedding too.

It will not a traditional Korean wedding, just a normal wedding in a garden.  Mike and I went there a few weeks ago with my Dad and one of my friends to check out the menu and other things before the wedding.  The food was great, but my Dad thought it was not salty enough for him, though.  The garden is not green enough with grass yet, but it will become beautiful soon.  Also, my wedding floral decorations will be a natural style to harmonize well in this environment - not many colors, looking like part of the garden.

I finally got my new stamp cutter made by Speedball, this is what I wanted.  I really needed a curved cutter to carve the rubber board in detail.  I was terribly busy last week, so I can try it this weekend for my new work.

I've wanted to buy letter press machine for four months.  I researched on e-bay a lot, but there were many obstacles.  Most of the ones I picked were too expensive when including shipping fee.  I was not sure the machine would be delivered to Korea safely.  So I gave up, I decided to buy it after we move to America.  One day, I saw one pressing machine in an art shop.  It was not the perfect shape like a real letter press, but I could use it just for pressing.  It was a simple shape made up wooden panels and both sides were linked at the edges with hinge.  But, it was not reasonable price.  So, Mike decided that he will make it for me.  How sweet!!!  He finished drawing a rough sketch now.  I'm really excited. :)

There are many things to decide together for our wedding...what style of wedding dress looks good to me, what kind of hair or make-up style is good for me, how many pictures we will take with the photographer, how many times I get skin care treatment before the wedding, how we can treat extra guests, should we can include a violist to play music, do we need flowers on the top of canopy...it is never ending...

I like making plans for us.  But, it is not easy to make decisions in a short time.  I don't want to be rushed as the wedding day approaches.  Let's breath... Actually, I just want to go to New York after wedding with a packed bag like this Totoro.  haha :D

Here is our wedding invitation. We finally printed them!

I had difficulty finding the right paper.  There was big gap between reality and our ideas.

I changed my design a lot.  Designing my wedding card was the hardest task in my whole career.  My desire to design it to be pretty made it very difficult.  After a few trials and errors, I simplified the design principle.  We should send it to Koreans and Americans, so it should be bilingual.  I just concentrated on informing the receiver of the invitation a clear message without decoration.  And we stamped a flower pattern on the dark gray envelope by ourselves.  It was interesting!  It took long time and needed a lot of effort, though. 

Both of us enjoy doing many memorable things for our wedding together.  I think that doing something together during this time is very meaningful to us.

Mike and I went hiking Namhansanseong with my Dad and his friend.  It was a lot of fun!!!  The weather was great to hike.  The breeze was light.  We walked 2 hours and then rested with some food we prepared.  There were many beautiful pine trees.  So I picked up some neat pine cones.  We expect to go hiking again soon in this beautiful season.

In the morning, the sunlight slightly came in on one side from the window.  Certainly, spring sunshine has a different feeling compared to the winter time.  It is light and soft...

Someone said that we totally resemble each other in our childhood.  But, as we grow up our faces have changed.  He is my one and only brother.  He tried to go to Australia to study and work, but he delayed his schedule to attend my wedding.   I thank him very much!  I felt sad that he set up his plans to leave here before my wedding, but I couldn't say anything to him since it was a big decision in his life.

So now, I am very happy he will be with me on my wedding day. :)

My Mom said it is good to use spring vegetables to cook in Spring time because seasonal vegetables are very fresh and healthy.  So I bought two kinds of spring vegetables.  I tried to recreate the taste I had before, but I failed.  Something was wrong. :(  After tasting the vegetables, I noticed I had made a mistake.  So I will retry with some new veggies this weekend. It is still the beginning of spring so I have lots of time. :)

My friend Joohyun visited to our office.  It was so much fun!  She is quite an energetic person and has a great sense of humor.  She brought 'ha-ha-ho-ho' happy laughing joy with Spring. :)
