Rest Day...

There was no second hike today...very tired. Slept. And stretched out. Tomorrow is our two hour run...let you know how that goes when I return alive.

Hiking Club - Hike #1 at Yongbongsan

Judy looked into hiking around Korea and came across the Seoul International Hiking Club. Our first hike was at Yongbongsan.

I have no idea where and which province that's in because I fell asleep as soon as the bus started...so yeah, look it up for me. In the meantime, here are some photos.

Our next hike is tomorrow...the name of it...I don't know. That sentence was written in Korean grammar. I don't apologize. It makes life here easier.

Hope you are doing well wherever you are hiking/running...

Shina's Sweet 7th but really 6th Birthday Party

Around here somewhere in Preschool jungle-land, celebrating birthdays are a big deal. Today, Shina celebrated her 7th but really 6th birthday.

Here are some post-worthy photos for your eyes only:

Nicole Teacher with Shina (dressed in hanbok)

Shina is shy in the spotlight

Shina with the rest of the Penguins

As shown, Shina is thoughtful and intelligent.
She has this kind of gracefulness that will transcend and help her achieve many new and exciting things...
She is my lovely sunshine.

The Girls: a non-fighting moment

When I first arrived, I was fairly skeptical about these birthday parties...they seemed tacky and annoying to sit through, but now...six months into this crazy adventure, these birthday parties are looked forward to, counted down daily during morning routine, loved and cherished.


She is my sunshine.

Look at what I made!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't this coooool?!?!

Hey Heather!

I don't know if you read this at all, but here are the photos of us at dinner and work.

Every now and then, I try to do that thing I promised I would do and throw your name in whatever conversation we are having...You are never forgotten as long as we are around haha

"Hey remember that time we did that with Heather?!" or "Heather taught us that one..."

Well, whatever you are doing, I hope you bought those UGGs you wanted and soaked up the sun down there in Miami 'cause where you're going is not warm at all hahaha

Have a smooth packing experience. Remember to use baskets like I did and organize from there...

Best of luck in China! It's freeeezing there right now!!!











OH! And every now and then, I remember to read those post secret things you told me about...some of them have gotten a bit depressing over the holidays...

BE SAFE!
