Once again it’s been forever since I last updated this blog. It’s hard having two blogs to take care of but I know the readers of my other blog are definitely not interested in craft projects and recipes. Joe and I are happily settling in Moron de la Frontera, Spain where we will reside for… Continue reading We're in Spain!
Joe and I headed to the castle at Los Morales with a group of about 20 others from base on Thursday night. The castle itself was older than I had imagined, a huge stone fortress denoting the center of town. The dinner at 25 euros per person was a great deal as it included all… Continue reading Valentine’s Day
Joe and I woke up late this morning and headed west to Rota Naval Base and Cadiz. The weather was beautiful and the roads were empty which made for a great drive. The scenery on the way to Rota was gorgeous, bright green plains as far as the eye could see. We drove through a… Continue reading Carnaval in Cadiz
Joe and I went house hunting this morning with Marilo from the Housing Dept. The housing office is great here at Moron, they drive you around in a big van to the nearby towns and show you a number of homes that you have chosen from a book of available properties. Our first stop was… Continue reading We Found a House!
Joe and I had a great time in the States for 16 days. Visiting with our families is always nice, especially after not seeing them for a year. We knew our trip home was going to be crazy but we had no idea just how crazy. It started off with a big surprise our first… Continue reading 16 Days
This past weekend was crazy busy! A bachelorette party/bridal shower girls weekend in Soeul, Joe’s Squadron Farewell Party, packing, one last couples bible study meeting. I’ll start at the beginning, the trip to Seoul. 12 girls came to Seoul on Friday, despite the rainy snowy slush that had accumulated on the ground all over the… Continue reading Going to the Chapel – Seoul Style!
1. Makeshift holiday decorations (because it’s hard to find Christmas trees in Korea). 2. Giving is so much better then receiving. 3. Making a friend’s bachelorette party weekend invitations and helping that bachelorette celebrate her upcoming nuptials. 4. Handmade Christmas decorations (can you tell I was having fun with my hot glue gun)? 5. Surprising… Continue reading Things I'm Thankful For This Holiday Season (in no particular order):
6 of us ventured to Apgujeong in Seoul last week for the Thursday Girls Holiday Party. We were sad more couldn’t make it but this is a busy time of year. (Steph, Bethany, Ashley, Kate and Megan waiting for the bus to Seoul) We ended up taking the bus, which was big mistake. I wanted… Continue reading Thursday Girls Holiday Party
It was at church this past Sunday that I realized something. I have spent the last 9 months here pointing out all the differences between Americans and Koreans when I should be focusing on the ways we are the same. A Korean woman asked my friend and I if, in America, husbands and wives grow… Continue reading Cut From the Same Cloth
When you walk into a supermarket in Honolulu and are surprised to see Americans you know you’ve been living in Asia too long. I was so glad to be on vacation and in a state known for its paradisiacal qualities, it took all my strength not to run up and hug those other Americans in… Continue reading Golf Balls and Shopping Malls
