Sorry about the length of time since my last post, but this weekend flew by and I was in bed by 9pm last night because I was so pooped. But I'm rested now, so I thought it was a good time to let you in on my fun and interesting weekend.
On Saturday, Kami and I attended our first Korean birthday party. One of our co-workers had a son turning one and we were invited to the festivities. Koreans do the first birthday up big...I mean really big. There were lots of people and yummy food and all kinds of excitement. It wasn't your typical backyard birthday party. Here are a few pics from the evening:
This is the Jun (my coworker) and his wife and son. His son's Korean name is Jangwon and Kami and I got to give him his English name, so we decided on Ben.
This is Unbar (we're trying to get her English name to be Hannah). She is the daughter of another one of our co-workers. She's trying to give Kami some squid in the pic...and if you know Kami, you know she was gagging. Ha.
Unbar took a liking to me...well, being ornery towards me anyways. Ha. Kami says this is our showdown pic!
This is our directors' daughter Ruby. She really is precious...the smartest 7-year-old I know. Kami kept telling her to smile, so this is the face she ended up making...such a ham.
Sunday was quite a fun day as well. All our English teacher friends participated in race day in Tongyeong...some doing 5Ks, 10Ks and half marathons. Kami and I weren't in Korea yet to sign up, so we acted as the cheerleaders for our friends...signs and all!! There were many, many people in the race and it was quite an exciting day!
Here is most of the group, waiting for the other two to finish the half marathon.
So those are the highlights from my weekend folks! It surely flew by but it was very enjoyable. The weeks seem to by flying by too....I have a feeling this year is going to go very quickly. Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm!
