i know the fact that it's busy season doesn't excuse me from everything, but i have to be honest, updating my blog hasn't been too high up on my list of things to do.
as you can imagine, i've been working a lot (sometimes)... though my past week has probably been the easiest week any auditor could have this time of year.
monday - hung out in the office in the morning, had a 1.5-hour lunch with my sister and her fiancee, worked until 6.
tuesday - hung out at client's site in Columbia until 10am, worked until 5.
wednesday - worked on client with my sister (you can imagine how much work got done), left at 5:30.
thursday - worked on client, left at 1 cuz of snow.
today - hanging out in the office all day and taking an intern candidate out for a firm-paid lunch. probably will not be here a minute past 5:30.
but really, believe me when i say i've done my share of late nights and 3 hour commutes. it's a good thing i like what i do, and i'm reminded of how important this is more now than ever. if you have a passion for something, don't settle for less! and be encouraged by my friend, jenny, who refuses to compromise her passion to help people all over the world no matter the risk! i would post a link to pictures she took on her trip overseas to help with tsunami relief efforts, but i don't have the link on hand. maybe later.
so i realize i still haven't finished writing about my trip to texas. i just spent a lot of quality time with my dad and my stepmom. it was so great to see my dad after many months. his new house was definitely impressive. houses in baltimore are so overvalued.... maybe i should just move to texas and buy a house there ;)
what i love about being with my dad is how secure i feel when i'm with him. even though he's not the most expressive person (though he's gotten much better... he even hugged chris when we got to his house), he somehow communicates how much he cares for me and others. i think about how much better it would be if he believed in God... and that keeps me praying.
he made me my all-time favorite and his specialty, jjajangmyun! i remember the times (when i went to calvary) when he would invite the entire youth group over to our small apartment for jjajangmyun, and the guys would call him "daejangneem."
despite what happened with my parents, he was always the kind of dad i wanted to brag about. he always got the best gifts for me and my sister.. he could always make us laugh, and it seemed as if there was nothing he couldn't do.. from singing to fixing pretty much anything. now i look at my dad and even though he's still the same dad i can lean on for security, i see him getting older and weaker. it makes me sad to see this but it makes me realize how weak we all are in nature. no matter who you are and what you do, we're literally perishing if we don't have hope that comes from God.
he took me to the mall to try to get me something for christmas even though he doesn't know one store in the mall. he took me to sears and pulled out clothes that he thought were of good quality and that i would like. i know he hates shopping at malls, but he walked around from store to store so he can buy me what i like.
it was definitely sad to part at the airport. because there was no place that served hot food outside of the security gate, he gave me money so that i could get something hot inside the gate.... as if i didn't have any money. it was a warm feeling. i'll always be praying for him..
i know this post is getting really long, and nobody likes long entries, but i have to tell you what an awesome valentine's day i had.
i wasn't expecting this when i suggested that we stay in for valentine's day.
and this
anti-valentine's people out there, valentine's day is NOT a holiday for hallmark and flower shops. it's one more opportunity to show how much you care, and it's as special as you make it.
chris, thanks for such a memorable and romantic valentine's day... the first of many to come.
i love you!!
