Meeting Aunt Sunny

One of my very best girlfriends quite unfortunately (for my sake) happens to currently live in South Korea. Sunny and I met the first day of our Freshman year at UT, thanks to a lovely little program called FIGs (Freshman Interest Groups), and hit it off from the beginning. We had three classes with each other that first semester, and several more thereafter until Sunny decided to fast-track her college career and graduate in three years. Yes, you read that right. I said THREE. Most college students struggle to graduate in five years, and Sunny did it in three. That tells you a little bit about how special this lady is, right there.

Anyway, Sunny is originally from S. Korea, and moved to the states in middle school with her older brother and her mother. After graduating from UT, she moved to Tokyo for two years, and then back to Seoul to spend time with her family. I have seen her exactly twice since June (or July?)2004, the last time being Thanksgiving 2005. Before we moved to Houston. Before I got pregnant. So, this trip was the first time that Max got to meet his Aunt Sunny. And boy did they hit it off. Max waves only for Sunny. Honestly. I knew the boy could do it, but couldn't ever get him to wave to me (or anyone else). But Sunny? No sweat. Sunny wanted to take Max back to Seoul with her-for just a few years. You know, to teach him Korean. I declined, thank you. She had to settle for spending too much money on him while she was here. And, as usual, I didn't take enough pictures.

We love you, Sunny! We can't wait to see you, again, whenever that may be!
