As promised...I'm doing my best to keep this blog updated as much as possible! B and I are doing well here in Korea- honestly nothing exciting has been going on for us over the past few weeks...which has been great for a change-conidering how busy our life can get at times. But of course no blog is interesting without at least a few blabbers of updates...so here goes!

1) It's offically monsoon season here in Korea. Whoo Hoo! ha! All this basically means is for the remainder of the summer our weather will be full of thunderstorms, lightning and tons of rain. So to prepare I've ordered these rainboots to add to my rain gear collection... check them out here (well, on a side note after many tries I can't seem to add the link...so if a blogger wiz could lend me some guidance...I will love you even more forever!!) In the meantime, they are on the target.com website and are the Women's Plaid Rainboots in Purple...ha! of course!

2) Today we took a trip to the Caribbean Bay Water Park. It was myself and the other 2 PBC's (Pear Blossom Cottages) managers and their family members...the trip was a great time and absolutly the cleanest water park I've even been to in my life! After planning this trip...I definatly know how all of my teacher friends feel when planning field trips- with the exception that students can't cancel...adults can! ha! :) I'd love for you to check out that link too...but please reference above!

3) It's finally the weekend here...and thank goodness! Although we hear that it is supposed to rain and storm all weekend-we are determined to make the best of it. B is busting to grill out, so I am hopeful that the rain will clear for us to grill this weekend-he's only been marinating meat for about 48hrs! ha! It's needless to say it's in the fridge and ready for nice hot fire of coals! Although we do have an indoor grill...trust me there is nothing like a good ole' backyard BBQ...even though we don't have a backyard, we do have a grill and will be going to post and setting it up ourselves near a gazebo on post and then set out our lawnchairs! ha! :)

4) In the coming weeks we will mark our ONE YEAR anniversary in Korea! Can you believe it? I will be the first to say this year has flown by! I cant believe that this time next year we will be packing up and moving on to where ever the Army tells us we are going to call home! With one year left B and I have decided that we are going to start a picture diary. We will be taking a picture each and every day from July 11th 2010...till July 11th 2011!! We think it will be a cool documentary of our last year in Korea! So hopefully they will be post worthy! We should definatly be able to get some great pictures of our time here in Korea and what living abroad is really all about! :) So stay tuned...

Well believe it or not...thats about all the blabbing I've got for you know! I know I know...hard to believe...but hopefully I can learn how to post links and have much more exciting posts in the future!!!

XOXO from KOREA!
