Time is flying!



I can't believe it has already been two weeks!

It's crazy. I found out that I have been averaging over 100 pictures per day when we go out sightseeing. This in fact makes it very difficult for me to have to choose which pictures I'm going to include on my blog, and furthermore, have to decide which ones I'm going to write about.


So you can see, it has been quite perplexing;) With how busy I have been over here it has been amazing that I have had time to even blog at all, so that it at least something lol. EVERY time I go out of the country or travel around I seem to always forget that I need write things down or take pictures, and then when I get home...I'm like "man, that FLEW by and I have already forgotten so many things!" So this time around I'm trying to carry a notebook with me so I can at least jot a few things down so that I won't forget them.

Journaling is way out of the question because although I have always loved journals (they way they look-their main purpose) I just never hit it off with them. This has provided me with literally dozens of journals over my lifetime that have maybe 1-10 pages max written in them lol. I'm thinking blogging or just jotting down a few notes here and there might be my better bet.

I of course say to myself that I will be one of those moms someday that will blog every detail of my child's life and will be of course the most talented of all, but alas, I must be realistic lol. Sigh....we'll see though;)

Jon and I have having the best time ever. His parents are MOST generous and we have loved getting to get to spend this time with them. Living so far apart for so many years has made it difficult to spend time together, so this trip has been a real blessing in allowing for some quality time!

The culture here continues to surprise me and I learn new things every day. Chansoon continues to explain signs and banners as we travel along and is a wonderful translator. I can't imagine being able to do all that we are getting do without her language abilities. Jon and I would probably have had to stick to the main tourist spots and to those famous tour buses;) haha

This weekend Jon and I are getting to see Hillsong United live in the Olympic park in Seoul. We are VERY excited to say the least and are determined to get Hillsong T-shirts:) Then the next weekend all four of us are going to be taking the Air Force guided tour to the DMZ border between North and South Korea. This is probably one of the things that we are most excited about it. It is literally witnessing history because Korea is the last place to have a DMZ. Germany's wall came down of course in the 80's so that the line between North and South Korea. I am particularly excited to find out that the DMZ will stamp your passport when you go there so that is exciting.

We planned this trip as soon as possible to get it out of the way...haha..JUST in case North Korea does something stupid again. This way we don't run the risk of not getting to go if they shut it down in between now and then.



We enjoyed lots of touring and sightseeing with Chansoon's high school freind Mrs. Young Ae Yoon. She was very sweet and treated us to this ice-milk-fruit dessert!

At a Korean flower market. Literally building after building of beautiful flowers. I could have spent WEEKS there!

Somebody was just a little sleepy;)
Dr. and Mrs. Lee treated us to a gourmet lunch that was out of this world. They were the sweetest couple. I enjoyed visiting with him about Korea's history. A brilliant man!
At the grave of 3rd President Chung-hee Park. Ruled from 1961-1979 A most revered president responsible for changing the Korean Economy for the good.
My new pair of earings:) They were so beautiful;)
