Living with two girls can be interesting. Whether it be something typical like boy drama or a fashion crisis, or in this case, a rather entertaining dare, there is always something exciting going on.

















Holly, roommate # 1 had a proposal: eat a tablespoon of hot sauce for ten dollars.

















Kara, rooommate # 2, is a bit strapped for cash at the moment. She gladly accepts, preparing bread and milk for the aftermath.













Holly prefers to spoonfeed Kara to her doom.

















The results are as we expected.

















And unfortunately, the bread doesn't seem to be helping....













...or fortunately for Holly, who is enjoying every minute of this.














The next day, they are both happy. Kara, ten dollars richer, and Holly, with memories for a lifetetime.

September 11th was the day of my sister Lim's engagement party. All the girls met at my cousin's house to get ready.

After caking on make up, my sister had to change her clothes into something more traditional. She was changing into a traditional Korean dress called a Hanbok.

She was eager to look in the mirror to see what she looked like. She was happy with the result. Quickly, she had to rush into the car (we were running late). Unfortunately, I was not able to take a picture of her getting into the car.

We finally arrived at Lai Lai's (Japanese Restaurant), where the engagement party was held. All eyes were on my sister and her finance, Andy. The speaker introduced each family and it was time for a word of prayer by both of the pastors from each family.

The pastors blessed each family and prayed for a happy future for Lim and Andy.

After the sermon and more prayer, it was time to exchange gifts. In the Korean culture, it is traditional for the bride to buy the groom a watch and vice versa. They both got each other Cartier watches.

Soon enough it was time for pictures. Each side of the family got to take numerous pictures with the future bride and groom.

Luckily, it was time to eat. After sitting up on stage for a while, Lim was starving. As you can tell, shrimp is her favorite food.

After stuffing her face, Lim started to sweat in her Hanbok. She wanted to go outside for a breather, so she lifted her dress. She yelled "FREEDOM!"

Finally, Lim and her fiance, Andy both said goodbye to all the guests and family members. However, their friends and close cousins decided to stay back to drink and have fun.

Two members of the Stogie Softball Team, Tom and Jeff, arrive at the field before a playoff game against The Maulers.

The Stogies take the field in the first inning. Jerry is the pitcher with Bill at first, Kevin at second, Tom at shortstop, Keith at third, myself in left, Dan in left center, Steve in right center and Ben in right field.

This picture is of my Dad who catches for our team. He keeps Jerry in line and calms him down if he is struggling to find the strike zone or if his defense aren't making plays.

I am set to lead off one of the innings. I am trying to get on base so we can score some runs and lengthen our lead.

After reaching 2nd base with a double to left field, I wait for my teammates to knock me in so I can score. I eventually score and we increase our lead.

It's the top of the 7th inning and we are clinging to a three-run lead. Tom and I are set and ready to make a play if the ball is hit to us.

The Stogies record three outs in the 7th and win the game 7-4. All the Stogies converge near the dugout and celebrate their victory.

The players aren't the only one rejoicing. A large number of Stogies fans- spouses, sisters, children- are on hand to celebrate the victory.

The Stogies are all smiles in the dugout. Ben, Dan, Keith, Steve and myself are pleased with our performance are excited for a victory dinner at Friday's.
