hello anyone there?
Hello :)
hey JH
Hey! At first I was like "That is not my name" haha It looks like they did maintenance. Is it only letting you use one chat now?
yeah I think so . I can only have one chat
Interesting. So now I have all your attention. Do you enjoy the rain? It has cooled off our apartment significantly haha
yeah it did. Its still kind of raining huh?
Yeah, it is. It is forecasted to last all weekend. We will see though.
ahh man thats good and bad I think!
I like warm rain. Have you ever been in the midwest (Kansas, Indiana, Ohio, etc.) during a thunderstorm there during the sumer? Yeah, it will help cool everything done but wetness is annoying haha
Korea has warm rain and I love it. I really hate cold rain
This may come as a stupid question...but I am just not super familiar with Korea. What is the weather like there? Does it snow?
yeah it snows a lot in certain places. Korea has all the season. Winters get really cold, summers get really hot and the spring feel like the best thing in the world hahaha. its also humid there so yeah... thats why summer is really hot and winters are really cold
So it feels more or less like humid, just without the humidity? OOps awkard I meant more or less like Utah
a lot more than Utah like I dont have to use any lotion
Oh that sounds amazing. I basically swim in lotion here haha When I was in Mexico, my hair grew so much and I never had to use chapstick or lotion. It was the first time ever haha! I miss that haha
do you think the humidity helped your hair grow???
But Utah has its own beauty so it makes up for it. I think it did! Well also, I have naturally curly hair, and I used to straighten is every day before the mission.
thats so awesome! it probably helped your hair not produce so much oil.
But I never straightened it on the mission. So having the direct heat not on it from straighteners and blow dryers probably helped a lot
my girl friend has curly hair too and I love it so much but she always straightens it
I have only straightened it twice too haha. Since then. Yeah, my hubby says he prefers my curly hair, but he also has only seen me once with straight hair.
hahaha thats good. embrace your curly hair
Plus it is so much work! It just adds so much time onto my day. Yeah, it has taken me a long time to be okay with it. But now that I have a husband, and he can not run away, I have no one else to please, right?? ;) :P
yeah totally. My was waiting for my girl friend to blow dry and straighten her hair and she took like 35 minutes And she told me she used to do that every morning in high school Girls have it so hard I just have to get out of the shower and just shake my head and im good to go
Yeah, but it is all because we have so much expectation coming from society to look a certain way.
I used to buzz my head and I didnt even need to dry my head hahaha.
Now that is more or less how I am ! Not the buzzed head haha I just get out, put mousse in it, and then I am good to go!
yeah the society kind of sucks hahaha. My friends and I have talking yesterday about that we were talking about how its totally ok for girls to check out other girls but if guys check out another guy then its totally gay society lolz
Haha that is true I look back to not even that long ago and being plump was desirable! Now you have to be stick skinny and now many girls can healthily be like that.
oh yeah I remember those days. My girlfriend used to be really skinny before she started to date me and now shes been gaining some weight and she is so stressed out but I kind of like some meat on her.
It is super true haha. What kinds of things do you two like doing together?
we love to rock climb around here, watch anime such as Boruto and we love to cuddle and not do anything an then we fall a sleep hahaha we have gotten to the point where we can just sit and be next to each other without talking or having to feel like we have to talk because we are totally comfortable with each other now
There are lots of cool places to Rock climb! Yeah, I know what that is like Have you climbed or repelled at Potato Hill in Draper yet? It has a cool view of the Draper temple,
I never climbed in draper before. Potato Hill? I need to put that in my list do you go climbing a lot?
Yeah, it is fun :) my brother in law is a competitive climber
oh NO WAY
But he climbs in Kentucky, Indiana, and places like that I am scared of heights so I have to do indoor more.
is he pretty famous would you say in the UTAH climbing community? I might know him. I watch a lot of competition videos on youtube
Because I feel safer haha He is not active in the Church so he tries to steer clear from Utah. He goes to Indiana University so he is more "cool" over that way. How did you originally get into climbing? And did your girlfriend do it before you met? Or is that something you dragged her along to? ;) How did you two meet??
ahh ok. I got in to climbing after like 1 year of getting back from my mission. Yeah I did climb before I met her and I dragged her in to it so which story do you want to hear first? lol you've asked so much
I knowwww. I knew if I did not get them all typed out I would forget them. Uhm, answer them in the order I asked them I guess :)
ok ill go in order then ok dope hahah So I used to play A TON of video games before the mission and after I came home I got back  into games because you know I was home. but one day I was like I need to change my life
Yeah, I get that. Oooo I like this story already.
I need to learn and explore myself. So I was chililn one day and my buddy who climbed was like Jae lets go rock climbing in Rock canyon
Good location
so I started climbing with him and it turns out I was really good! and I got hooked so fast and ever since then I have given up my gaming addiction for the most part but yeah when I met my girlfriend I dragged her in to it
That is incredible! I mean, every now and then is not bad to game. I love that story. Is she pretty good then too?
she got really good actually but we climb in a very different style. I have a TON of upper body strength for some reason and she has the balance and flexibility so she can climb stuff that I can't
That is interesting!
I could do 42 maximum pull ups in my prime
My arms hurt just thinking about that. I am not the most fit person ever, sadly.
do you know how I got that strong? I think its just a guess
How? Videogaming?? If that is your argument, I will not believe it hahaha
but when I played a lot of games in high school I played a lot of Call of Duty and after every round I did as many pull ups as I could for fun hahaha
Oh okay That makes more sense than just moving a controller. That is so random, but looks like it paid off with rock climbing!
hahahah right? yeah it did!
So how did you and your girlfriend end up together?
oooh ok get ready for a cute story SO
I have to run to the bathroom real quick, so I will come back in 2 minutes to read a cute story ! :D
ok sounds good
I am a sucker for these
ill blabber on so when I got back from my mission I had a feeling of the spirit that I needed to date and get married pretty fast because I always just wanted to get married after I graduate well 2 years coming back from my mission I went on like 3 or 4 dates I cant remember and I didn't pursue them or anything. I had no interest in asking girls out on dates or even hooking up and having fun like my friends do all the time. One day I was working in the Media center of the library and I did camera checkouts for people. My girlfriend came in (this was summer time) and we started to just chat at
Ugh I hate that. Boys can be shallow at times. And girls.
work and we found some mutual friends. Well I was working and she had to do stuff so it was like a short 10 min conversation then she came back in 3 days later and we started to chat again and I she told me about her art instagram and then she came back again but didn't really check anything out hahaha
She is an artist?? That is awesome! oooooo
she came to check me out wink* wink*
hahahaaa hah ahaha
but I didn't really care at the time to ask anybody out you know. I was still in the same mentality but her enthusiasm and confidence drew me in. So i decided to ask for her number when she came back the next time but she never did and school was about to start...
Nooooo!
and on my desk one day I saw a note "XXX.XXX has family emergency so wave her late fee fines for camera equipment" so I was like well ill never see her again. but then I remembered her instagram handle and found her on instagram!
Hahaha! Luckily you remembered that! This is getting good
ok so I slid in to her DMs you know what im saying and I was like hey! "ive been meaning to get a hold of you lets go rock climbing" she was like okay lets do it! oh wait no sorry back up I asked her to go to the rope swings with me up in Park city and she declined but she said "Jae, I can't go but please ask me out again"
Oh wow.
I was like girllll I just want to get to know you first (in my head)
That was upfront of her Hahaha
but it gave me so much confidence that I did ask her out to go climb
This is great. This will be such a fun story for your kids!! How long ago was this?
yeah its awesome 7 months ish ago
Oh, nice :)
wait let me tell you her side of the story
That is how long we dated before we were married haha Oh okay :) I love when couple's remember it differently hehe
she told me that after she first met me she thought i was the cutest asian kid on campus so she actaully came in on the days I worked and dressed up to come see me from Pleasant Grove to check out camera equipment to see me lolz
Awwww That is SOOOOOOO cute!!
she hates that I didn't think she was "hot" or anything when I first met her because she thought that of me hahaha
Hahaha I love that
I thought to myself when I first met her "I bet she is an interesting person" thats why I wanted to get to know her more
Is she also Asian?
but I will admit I am also kind of shallow no she is white and she's got the booty :)
Well, I do not believe in love at first sight, so I am kinda with you Oh wow *eye roll*
she is part cuban too
Oh, that is cool :)
hahaha sorry if I made you uncomfortable but my girlfriend and I have that kind of relationship and she jokes about how she fetishizes asians all the time hahaha
That is fine haha. I just do not like worldly terms when discussing relationships to others, but it is cool, all is forgiven. Now do I get to tell you about how my hubby and I met?
yesss please do
Perfect. You got in all that typing so now it is my turn ;) Mmkay. Where to start...
ok
So we had both returned from our Spanish speaking missions (me in Mexico, him in Spain) and ended up in the same Spanish 321 class our first semesters at BYU (we both served missions right out of high school) There were 25 boys and 5 girls. And we felt really intimidated, as freshly returned missionaries, of all the boys. So we sat against one wall while they all were interspersed throughout the room. From the very start, I noticed a few boys I wanted to get to know better because they spoke Spanish and served in Mexico. But I decided that I needed to be assertive if I want ed anything to go anywhere, or have any of them even notice me. So....I...might have friend requested all of them on Facebook after I looked up their names on Learning Suite *cough cough Don't judge cough*
lol ok keep going! hahha
And I remember one of the cute guys that I had my eye on sat next to the blondest, palest male I had ever seen. I always got their names mixed but so I could never tell which one was which. So I would try and listen when our Professora would hand back our papers, but I still could not get them straight. But I thought the pale blonde one was really cocky because he was the only one that served in Spain and would correct the professor if she taught something wrong or whatever, and she would always ask him to explain things as if he knew more than us *eye roll* So he bothered me. ANYWAY So one day, I was studying for a Spanish midterm with ANOTHER guy I thought was cute.
those spanish euro missionaries pfft
(I sounded way more player-ish than I am) Haha So I was studying with this guy, and I get a FB message from the guy I thought was cute next to the blonde kid (well, I thought it was the other guy because I though his name was Taylor, not Matt) So Taylor messages me and says "I know it is short notice but one of my comps wants to go on a group date in two hours. Laser tagging. Would you like to go?"
two hours? thats awesome
And I freaked out, obviously with excitement, and gave him my phone number and said he needed to call me if he wanted to ask me on a date" So he calls me, and he tells me the details, and I tell him I needed to be home by 9:30 (because I had another date with a guy in my ward at 9:30..hehe..but I did nto tell him taht) *that) And so the date started at 7:30. We were meeting at his comp's complex, and as I am walking up texting him to figure out exactly where he is, I look up and see that it is the cocky blonde kid!! I GOT THEIR NAMES MIXED UP AND THOUGHT I WAS GOING ON THE DATE WITH THE OTHER CUTE GUY NEXT TO HIM *face palm*
oh nooooo
So obviously I got through with it, and laser tag was fun. We went to get tacos after, and he saw it was almost 9:30, so he offered to take me home, but I told him I could postpone my thing by 20 minutes that was after our date (he didn't know for 3 months that I had another date with a guy haha) And so we finished our authentic tacos (the way to my heart haha) And he took me home. I instantly texted him after he dropped me off saying "You know, I would really like to get to know you better" because for some reason my head told me: "You know, I think I am going to marry this guy." and it totally did not creep or freak me out at all.
wow!!
So I went on the date with the second guy to Baskin Robbins and got some awesome pumpkin cheesecake ice cream And I felt fine with him, and we talked about musicals and stuff haha.
that is so nice hahahaa you and my girlfriend both knew what you wanted and got it
But when I walked into my apartment after my 2 dates, I told my roommate who waited up "I think I am choosing Taylor over John". And I did :)
honestly it really helps with girls are more forward about it you know what I mean? it really helps the guys out.
And a few days later we actually went to the Media Center so we could rent a TV to watch the Giver for our second date! Oh for sure. I do not agree with the stigma that men have to do all the work.
hey I might have seen you at the media center
I am traditional in the sense that the guy should propose and stuff, but I do not think it is fair to just be aloof while the guy does it all.
yeah that stigma needs to die. If my girlfriend wasnt forward and confident we wouldn't be here exaclty exactly
And the funny part of that story also is that he had asked 9 other girls out before me that night but they all could not go. So he got on FB, saw I had requested his friendshi p and then asked me. It is totally crazy how it came to be. And I agree. I see some girls who are not married, but are drop-dead gorgeous, and I think to myself "It is because you have an unrealistic standard for the guy you want to en d up with"
holy crap you guys were meant to be. God's hand was definitely in play in you guys' lives for sure
Oh for sure. I mean, it gets crazier with timing of our missions and me deciding to serve and all sorts of stuff. But I will not bore you with that :) I just know that God really wants forever families, so He is willing to help if we both do our part
hahaa no worries I love that! that just rang in my heart
Because it is super true. I do not believe in soul mates. But I believe there are good, better, and best options. And I got the best :) And I am eternally grateful. We have had rough patches, but man, life would not be worth living without him.
I felt like for a while God didn't care too much about my love life and thought that he just was like you are good with whoever. but because he wants us to have families forever he WILL help us with that part of our lives
It is a for sure thing What is important to us is important to Him.
yes the good better and best. I remember reading a talk
Plus, He begs us to all keep our covenants to make it back to him.
in my mission about that topic
Yeah, was it Pres. Oaks?
Yeah i think so
I think that is who it is?
probably hahahaa it sounds like a topic he would talk about
For sure. I have been learning more about the life of President Russell M Nelson and he is such an incredible and intelligent man!! I sure do love the prophets and apostles. It brings so much comfort to me that ultimately God is in charge :)
President Nelson is a beast!
For real though! He has accomplished so much. But still!! Granted, he is 93 so that is a long time to be awesome. Did you know that he was in his 2nd year of med school at age 17, and that is when he met his first wife, and he had to get permission from his parents legally to be able to marry her?
true. world famous heart surgeon. Apinist and skier
I just find that hilarious. I did not know his piano skills until I watched a little documentary about him. I knew he had perfect pitch, but wow, his piano skills are amazing too
oh my goodness 17??? that is almost discustingly smart
I KNOW!
what is this guy????????????
Like, already had his BS and onto med school He is a prophet, through and through.
I thought Prophets were supposed to be imperfect?
Hahaha. No doubt about it that he was super prepared. Well, I am sure he is imperfect But he is so well-rounded, and that is what we need in these last days.
yeah he was. I sometime wonder how they were prepared in the premortal existence and what they did in the great war
This is strictly speculation, not fact or doctrine, but I mean....why would God call a prophet that spoke Mandarin fluently...? ;) JUST my opinion. But he is going to do incredible things. As evidenced by his talk about Revelation at last Conference. What a killer first talk as prophet.
yeah its going to be awesome! I think that the second coming is nearing even more because North Korea and South korea are now at peace meaning that soon we might have missioanries going to that country because that is like the only country in the world where missionaries has not gone to
Are they really at peace?
and the prophecy is that all nations will hear the gospel before the second coming
I didn't know that! I know. And the fact that a temple will be in Indiana and Russia? *India
yeah Trump ended the 60 year war. South koreans credit Trump for it.
India is SOOO populated.
yeah its crazy!
Really? I did not know that. I know that he has a "high-stakes" meeting with the North Korean leader. I guess I am just behind :( And technically Hong Kong is the only part of China where proselyting is allowed....so mainland still needs to open up. And that population is incredbile. *incredible
yeah he is meeting with the North Korean leader soon in Singapore. but yeah the south koreans credit him for it. I think it was his ballsiness that made north korea make their
He for sure is super ballsy hahaha
decision because no one else would challenge north korea and their missle launches except trump
that is something he has got going for him That is true. Trump has had guts, we have to credit him for that
thats true now we need china to open up I don't know if he is actually brave or stupid
Which I think will be soon :) My brother served in Hong Kong and he is so excited at that prospect.
hahaha
I think it is a mix of stupidity and courage... ;) I think he just does not give a second of though to what others think of him So he does whatever. And I guess in this case it worked haha
hahah yeah it did. God works in mysterious ways right?
For sure.
hilary would have never challenged North korea
It will be really exciting after this life to see how He worked and how everything fit into place when we were all confused. We have such a finite way of thinking And I agree. I honestly did not like her foreign policy.
yeah we do. We just cant see the future like he can and he basically controls everything Yeah to be honest for me it came down to "do I want a shady untrustworthy president or do I want a president who is a bigot?" I was like neither
It was really a hard thing to deal with. Want to hear a funny story?
but glad that God put Trump in there for at least this KOrean war thing yeah sure
For sure Okay Here it goes So I left my mission in April 2016, and I had many people in Mexico ask if I was Trump fan, but they never told me why. I was so far removed from politics haha So I am on the airplane home, not even realizing that the 2016 elections were a thing. And I see kitty-corner from me, an American man holding a newspaper up, reading the front page that was plastered with huge pictures of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. And I literally felt my heart drop. I was like "Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no. What am I coming home to?!?!" So the first thing I do when I get off the plane and hug my family or whatever, is ask my dad "Are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump really our presidential candidates?" And he just laughs. I honestly felt like I was coming home to a more worldly world that I thought I would. I was NOT prepared for that haha My dad loves telling that story to this day.
hahahahah that is so funny! we were all like America is doomed!
I could not believe it! I still can't. I mean, what happened to men like Ronald Reagan??
well at least its working out so far
But it is whatever hah
yeah seriously
I mean, we have not all died yet.
yep
So something's okay right now
yeah its a proof that God is in control eventhough we think its in chaos
For sure. I mean, he would not have let things like this fall apart unless He could make it work. He does not take our agency away, but neither does He let Satan win. Obviously, not an excuse for us to be dumb and such. But it helps with things outside of our domain and control.
yeah for sure. we just need to worry about what we can do
Which sometimes feels overwhelming haha. Being an adult can be so intimdating. *intimidating
did I ever tell you about how I broke my ankle?
No. Was it due to politics or rock climbing? (just trying to understand the connection hahah ;))
hahahaha rock climbing its jsut another funny and entertaining story just*
I would love to hear it :) we can totally rack up the points by telling stories. Let's do it! Go :)
ok cool! so it was 2 winter semesters ago. Not the one that just ended but the one before that. My buddies and I wanted to go climb outside so we went  to st. george. we decided to to do this multi pitch route at a wall called the Prophecy wall
Never heard of it, but I am following :)
and my buddy Ky and I were on our third pitch of the climb and it was the last pitch and we were like 120 ish feet above the ground of where we started. Anyway on the third pitch there was this ledge we were standing on so it was nice for my friend to belay me above 120 feet in the air.
Did you fall 120 feet?!?!
I was going to lead the last pitch and was placing my safety gear in when a rock that I was holding on to with my left hand broke off the wall and I fell 20 feet just 20 to the ledge
Oooo man. I would never lead. Ahhhh! How'd they get you down? I would have told them just to leave me for the vultures.
so I fell and didnt hear my bone break or anything and I refused to believe that I broke my ankle but I coudn't stand on it. hahaha the vultures. well my friend lowered me down 120 feet and I had to crawl on all 3s for about a mile to my car and we drove back home. The entire time I didn't want to believe that I needed to go see the doctor because I did not have insurance and I did have money to
Oh, typical boy *eye roll* Oh nevermind
yeah so I didnt go see a doctor for a week
That is a real reason to not want to go to the doctor OH NO Did it set incorrectly and they had to break it again???
and then my foot just kept getting more purple and the swelling wasnt going away and my friends made to go see a doctor no it didnt even set at all because the ankle bone was totally severed from its main bone and wasn't even attached. It was just rolling around
ewwww I just shuddered hahah
So they had to put me through surgery and screwed in two 4 inch screws in my ankle and I had to crutch around for the entire winter semester in ice and snow and what sucked is
.....oh my That sounds horrible!
that I had class on the south side of the campus and north side back and forth
Has it made you more careful when you are leading now?? OH DANG And slush gets real nasty on campus :P
yeah after I healed I got back on to camping and I stil went climbing with a boot indoor hahaha I could not just sit around and not climb hahaha
I understand that. Especially when it was kind of a fluke accident.
I have PTSD still from falling and I get all shaky when I am outside climbing lead
Oh man. That is so scary, I am so sorry!
yeah but its slowly geting better now.
I cannot imagine what went through your mind as you fell.
it was so fast in the fall I did not think of anything haha oh and guess what I was carrying a watermelon on my back so that we could crack it open and eat it when we got to the top
That also makes sense. Hahaha. seriously?
yeah hahaha
Do you think that helped you or hurt you more?
maybe if I didnt have that extra 15 pound on my back the rock wouldn't have broke
I cannot imagine landing on my back on a watermelon. Oh. True.
that was so unlucky So I mostly like to have fun when I go outside and competitive indoor
That makes sense. Play it safe.
yeah thanks so have you broken any bones?
I am always afraid my balayer (I do not know how to spell that) is not going to do their job.
belayer*
Oh I was not too off :) And no, I have not...but I have bruised my bone twice, and sprained my ankle a lot. I am pretty healthy and strong :) But I also do not put myself in dangerous situations that often. I play it safe. I have also never gotten stitches
ankle sprains are the worst!!! they are never the same after you sprain it never heals to what it was before
I would concurr. *concur I roll my ankle pretty easily.
ouch it gets easier to roll your ankles as you roll it more... I dont get it. it sucks hahaha
OH MY GOODNESS IT IS SO TRUE. Do it once, and you are screwed haha. Same with biting your tongue or the inside of your cheek. If I do it once, I know the next 2 weeks are going to be frustrating haha
ahhhhh that is the worst! I always get a canker sore when I bite something in my mouth then I have to deal with it for 2 weeks
Oh right? Super weird, but I was eating my first Larabar ever last night (they only have 3 ingredients) and my tongue started getting tingly and now I have a few cankers. Do you think it was an allergic reaction??
oooooh maybe are you getting good sleep? I tend to get cankers when I dont sleep well for a while
It only have peanuts, dates, and something else in it. Oh. I sleep just fine haha :) I get at least 8 hours
hmm is anything stressing you out?
Not anything more than taking 8 credits and working 15 hours a week haha. But that has been fine. I mean, I am stressed about getting my boy into med school a bit, but that is more on him. And when to have kids, but we decided not to decide a for sure date for a little while. So that is off my chest a bit. I mean, I struggle with anxiety, so my body should be "used" to stress.
ooh yeah my girlfriend is not excited to get pregnant like after we get marries married haha do you guys have a back up plan IF your boy doesnt get in to med school?
Well *sigh*
you will become the sugar mama then and he can bare children and take care of the kids
If he does not get into medical school this go around, we will take a gap year so he can work as a medical scribe (they earn a lot and it looks good on college apps) and keep shadowing surgeons Hahaha you know he can not bare them haha
hahahaha
We really do not want to have me work unless I feel so inclined. We are pretty traditional that way, but I also just feel like that is my calling in life.
well thats good. What a medical scribe? Ive never heard of that job?
I am a great wife, like really, so I think I will be a great mom. They follow the doctors around and take notes down for the doctor so they do not have to write down everything the doctor says to a patient.
yes I totally believe you that you will be an amazing mother
There has to be a detailed record kept, but doctors hate wasting their time on that so they pay big bucks to have them get taken by someone else haha Aww thank you :)
ohh that sounds fun actually. You are like their personal secretary
It would be good for him too because he would get to know a wide variety of fields. Yeah, it does sound pretty fun! And you would get to see some pretty interesting medical situations
so how can someone get a job like that?
I think you would just apply. You might need to have taken a Human Anatomy class or something. I really am not quite sure. Taylor is already in the system at IU school of medicine so we would just go there and do it there
ooh ok thats actually pretty nice. I wanted to medicine when I was younger and become an ER doctor or something cool like that but I was like I hate school
Did you ask because that is something you would be interested in haha? Yeah, it is SOOO much school and training
no I am too late for that gig but my sister might be
Oh that would be neat!
she wants to become a nurse or at least directly working in the medical field
That would be a super helpful job then! if I did not hate vomit as much as I do, I would totally be a nurse
yes it would be!!! lol! vomit is nasty
I KNOW My husband hates snot. Like, he gags. It is hilarious.
hahaha snot?
He freaks himself out a bit with blowing his nose if he thinks about it Yeah, he cannot stand it
that is so funny. Snot isn't even bad compared to vomit
So he does not want to be a family doctor, because snotty kids with colds would come into the office. I know. He is an odd duck that way haha
I hate vomit so much that I tried really hard to not vomit when I would get sick so I don't do it anymore even though I am really sick
But I usually feel a ton better at I do when I am sick. Hey, is it okay if I take a 3-4 minute break to wash some dishes real quick? I understand if you would rather chat with someone else instead so you can be productive those 3-4 minutes :/
yeah totally. Im going to tell you about my long boarding story then while you are gone is thhat cool? hello? ok well im going to and you can have something to read So i was really a stupid dare devil I guess before the mission. When I was hanging out with my friends at his house we were really bored so we decided to go long boarding on this fresh new asphalt behind his house. and he lived on a hill so we had this new road with a really nice decline. well it was really dark that night and there was some
Sorry yeah tell me the story Oh no More injuries coming?
construction next to the road. When i got to the bottom of the hill  I hit a rock full speed and I flipped and hit my head and when I got up I felt my hand was all weird. I planted my hand on the ground to break my fall but I rotated my entire boy and the weight made my wrist rotate in place
ewwww
when I looked at my hands I saw that my hand was rotated 90 degrees inward and it turned out that I also shattered my radius bone. well I didn't know any better and I didn't have insurance back then either so I told my buddy to come down and twist my hand back in place
Ouch ouch ouch
and when he grabbed my hand to do it he threw up and he was like dude this is so disgusting I cant do it
No way Ewwwww I can imagine all this and I cannot even handle the idea of going through this!!
well I went to the ER and got that fixed. They put me to sleep immediately and popped the hand back in place and then a week later they had to do surgery on my radius to put it back together
What did your mom think of all these injuries and surgeries?
she did not like that. when I broke my wrist my mom thought satan was trying to stop me from serving a mission because I could have died. seriously.
Scary. Really, it was the watermelon's fault though ;)
hahaha yeah I blame the stupid watermelon
Do you hate watermelon now?
no i still love them hahaha tell me a story. I dont want to be the only one babbling and getting points
True haha :) That is selfless of you! Give me a topic so I can pick a story easier
where are you in the leaderboard if you dont mind me asking
Am I allowed to say ?
I mean you know where I am
Adam told me I could not haha
are you jwall?
Yeah that is true. Yup
haha i knew it
Yeah? Cuz of the J and how often I am on here? I really want an iPad But I do not think it will be possible So I have to settle for weird noise-canceling headphones.
yeah the J and how often you are on here
Which I am kind of bummed about because I originally started for truffles hahaha But then I got carried away like the rest of you ;)
hahaha
Do you think it is still possible for me to get an ipad? Like, I do not even need it.
yeah i dont know but this chat thing is getting me hooked
It has been fun to get to know my peers. But also frustrating because it takes so much time, and I also will never really know who all ya'll are
maybe you would have to beat mitch because I dont think Adam is stopping soon
Yeah, Oh I for sure am not trying to pass up Adam haha. Hahahahaha no
hahaha
No matter what, I feel comfortable that I will get chocolates though :)
hahaha nice
Because a ton of people stopped in the 800000s
the mint truffles are amazing
Yeah?? I have never had them!
yeah you neveer had them? they are so gooood
BYU stuff is so expensive I steer clear.
yeah so one time the truffles melted in my car but I threw it in my fridge and it was so good cold!
I mean, we should be getting up in the points from this conversation. We have talked a lot and for a long time. Yeah, never waste expensive chocolate. Smart move. My dad always put chocolate in the fridge or freezer
yeah it was actually better than if it wasnt cold
So I am so used to that
in the freezer what?
I sometimes feel like chocolate tastes weird without being cold or "hard" Yeah like he will put candy bars in the freezer.
yeah true.
So you have to gnaw the snickers haha He also puts hostess cupcakes in the freezer. THAT is a smart move.
hahaha ouch I feel like that would hurt my teeth
But those things are pretty gross if I stop and think about them. Yeah....it does hurt a bit haha. My dad has some quirks haha.
I love to put in grapes in the freezer have you tried that?
Yeah, I have tried that! They have to be red though. Green grapes are way too sour for me.
its so good! it slike natural grape popsicle yeah me too! do you want the headphones or the truffles? because you wouldn't have to do anything anymore and you will probably get the truffles becaseu its to 20 people
I know. But the headphones could be cool to give to my husband so he can focus while studying anywhere
because if you want the ipad you really need to get crazy like me
And secretly I want the iPad. I know... I think I can maintain the earphone position though
you need to drop everything and do this basically
Well that feels like what I have been doing today haha
how many hours are you going to put in to this because we still have like 5 days
I have no clue. I am taking it by a day by day and hour by hour basis.
gotcha
The whole time I always think about how I could get more hours working and actually earn real money to spend on stuff I could actually choose haha I told y hubby about you and Adam and he was like "Why do they not just get jobs and earn the money during the time they spend doing that" to which I replied "I have no clue, hun"
you know why?
why i would like to know why
its because I dont have 2500 bucks to drop on just a laptop. And even if I worked full time on 14 bucks an Hour i can't make 2500 hundred buck in two weeks. So i work a comput computer desk job and I do this at the same time so I can still pay my bill and make 2500 bucks on the side
Oh that helps that you can do the both simultaneously. That could make it worth it. I was not dissing you, ps, we just did not understand :)
no I didnt take any offense I knew you meant well
thanks :)
yeah so 2500 bucks
Do you think it is going to be harder to stay ahead now that you are limited to one chat?
thats what the laptop is worth because its the 15 inch with graphics card and 500 gb of SSD storage
I mean, now everyone has that same handicap. So I imagine it is even more fair now yeah it sounds awesome!
yeah totally its about how many words you can type and how fast you can type and how much time you can put in to this Adam is slowly catching up to me though XD
Can you expound a little more on that? That is super scary.  I felt like he was catching up a lot faster before but it seems you still have a head on him
since you can only have one chat open that means that the only way to get points is how much time you can put in to it and if you actualyl have a conversation yeah I am going to stay above him even if I need to stay up all night
Oh no he is right behind you now!! Yeah, luckily we are both responding quickly.
yeah I slept and he stayed up. I think he must have been chatting with himself with another account
You really think so? Hmm. I did not pin him as super dishonest. Oh well, whatever :)
because no one is on that late unless he is using two accounts its just a guess
Well then he will get disqualified, no?
i dont think so they cant really prove it
So much for the honor code haha
hahaha oh well
Have you had people that are really helpful and really help you rack up the poitns? *points?
um not really like that. We just would actually chat and talk to people
Yeah. I hope I have been able to help
yeah you have been thanks!
Any news on that darn internship yet?? I really need to know hahaha
i really need that laptop because i have a lot of financial responsibilities like helping my mom pay off her debt bills no news yet
Oh yeah, I can see how that would help. So that makes it sound like you are just going to turn around and sell it?
no I need it for my self for work because my laptop hinges are broken. and I need to buy my sister a laptop before she goes to her first semester in college plus I need to save up for a ring and pay rent
Oh man that is a lot of financial stress :(
yeah its been crazy thats why i've been doing this like crazy
Hey, an idea for the ring-- just get a cheap one that looks expensive (fake diamonds) until you guys have more money to get a different one. I wish we would not have paid so much right now for a ring that who knows if it will fit me after 5 kids.
oh hahahaa
I mean, we would be $2000 richer right now if we had done that
I think she wants a simple band because shes a working girl and she doesnt want it to get caught on things
That is great. That will be really helpful :)
yeah it will
I have a super random question about your life
ok
And I only ask because I am ignorant of other countries and cultures besides USA and Mexico. But did you know English in Korea? Like, is it taught and widely used there? Or was it something you had to learn as a second language here once you got to the United States?
english is taught in korea  all through out high school but not many people use it frequently. I didnt know english that much when I got here.
Was it really hard to learn once you got here?
I had to pick it up growing up and luckily I was young and my brain was like a sponge back then
Because I know how hard it was for me to learn English even though I was raised with it! It is such a weird, hard language with so many rules. Yeah, we want to raise our kids bilingually with Spanish since we both speak it. How has it been for your mom? And it helps to do it from a very young age.
it was hard for my
It was hard for your mom?
yeah it was and she still struggles with it hey i need to go for a bit and take a break and eat lunch
I admire people that just keep trying though. I know I wanted to give up learning Spanish so bad. Okay! I need to do hw Takl to you later! :)
ok sounds good talk to you later for real
Kk!
