I'm glad I wasn't the only one totally amazed by the amount of high rise apartment buildings in South Korea. And it is like that almost everywhere. It is hard to fathom unless you see it yourself. And it is amazing how close it all is to the DMZ. Glad to hear you made it there safely Mike. I can only imagine the freakin' out at the airports. I'm surprised they let you take it! Amenities there sound nice. Shoot, that would be awesome if there were some way the girls could stay there with you. We haven't heard from Brooke yet. BTW, Brooke, when you read this, could you give me a call? I realized that I only have Mike's cell # and not yours programed in. I wrote it down somewhere, but I lost it. We have a landline now in our new home, so everyone can add it to their lists: 360-210-7143. Email that same as always. Give us a call Brooke, so that we can arrange the deal tonight.
Good job on the killing (?), Anne. You sound like you are tearing it up. I wish I had known that it were the closest game of the season, I would have tried to come. You'll have to let us know your schedule so that we can see if there are any others we can make it to.
We just got all connected with internet, telephone, etc. here in our home today. It is finally starting to be functional. We still need to make a couple more shopping trips to Safeway to fill the cupboards. Pictures on the wall will help as well. It is nice being so close to work and school.
The soccer season has started and it really throws the scheduling all out of whack. It'll be interesting.
Also, last weekend, Adina and I broke away for our 12th wedding anniversary to a B&B on the Oregon coast. Mom and Dad were gracious enough to take the kids for 4 days/3 nights. We went to this place between Cannon Beach and Manzanita called St. Bernard's. Really cool B&B, with great food, awesome rooms and not far from the beach or other activities. We did some sight seeing....there are some beautiful views on the coast, I'll have to post them as soon as I find my camera. We went horseback riding in the dunes and on the sandy beaches. It turned out to be a beautiful day. Adina had never done it before and I had done it last when we lived in Valentine. It was really a lot of fun and we got a little sunburned and SORE! We went out to dinner a couple of times and went shopping and to a play in Cannon Beach. It was a great break after all of the moving, starting work, starting school, starting sports, new Ward, etc.. We really needed some recovery time. And now we are back to the grind...
Mom is gone to Europe, so we are trying to keep Dad busy. He went from 8 people sleeping in his house to 1 person, within 1 day. Must be quiet in that big house. But, we try to go make some noise occasionally.
Mom, hope all is well there. What a trip! Anxious to see some pictures and hear about your travels.
Take care all,
Dave
