First ever 5K race in my life


I started talking about joining this race a week ago, and Steve seemed to be interesting too. However, when we woke up on the Saturday morning at 7:45am, it became a fanatic rush on our way from home to the starting station. When we arrived the station, the long racing team had already left 5 minutes ago. We registered, put on the timing chip on the shoe, and started to run and try to catch up the procession. However, we ran into the wrong direction, and on our way to go back to get a map, the first runner had arrived the ending point like a hero and received everyone's claps. Ai~~till now, Steve decided to give up and looked a little bit upset for that morning! But for me, it was the first ever 5K race experience in my life and still needed to be recorded!! Looking forward to the next run!!

DC trip


There are always so much to see in DC. I love the buildings and sculptures around mall area, but the biggest problem is the traffic is always horrible... ;P

DC trip






Steve's first business trip- we went to DC and also celebrated my (??) birthday! We had delicious Korean beef and the night in DC was very very beautiful~ I also discovered that Andrew W. Mellon from Pittsburgh was the main benefactor of the National Gallery of Art.

Graduation!

On 9/24/2009 at midnight 1:30 Steve finally finished his PhD thesis and submitted to committee. Congratulations!! My dear~~
