1st Anniversary and Weekend Fun

I seriously can not believe it has been a year since we were married. So much has happened and it has been fun to reminisce about it together! It has been such a blessing and we are truly grateful for this gift of sharing life together. To celebrate we went to a beach town called Daecheon this past weekend which is about 2 hours south of where we live. We took the train there and stayed in a motel close to the beach.
The swimming was amazing, the ocean was really warm and the tide went out fairly far in the evening so it made for nice walks along the beach. Had a wonderful dinner at an French Restaurant in Seoul on Sunday night to top it all off. We find that it is really easy to make weekend trips and it is not that expensive, plus the trains are so comfortable and easy to figure out.
The weekend before we went to Jeonju to visit our friend Brenden. Chris had another opportunity to speak at the Korean army base there. I decided to go along and we stayed at a nice hotel in the middle of the city. I enjoyed the touristy places in the morning while Chris went to the base. We ate bbq duck for the first time. It was pretty good, we are getting a bit more adventurous with what we choose to eat. Mind you I refuse to eat anything that is still moving on my plate.
It is still very hot and humid here but slowly starting to cool down a bit at night. Soon our laundry will only take a day to dry instead of 3! We are thinking about signing up for Korean lessons as we feel a bit lazy these days concerning our interest in culture and the language. Also I am looking into coaching some basketball part time at the international school here in Suwon.
Last week we also went to a meeting about N.Korea and how to raise awareness of what is going on in that country. So we are starting to get more involved in things here as we have the time and as the Lord leads.
I am sure all of you know about the swine flu. Well there are 3000 cases (only 2 people have died) in Korea and the government and schools are quite concerned about it all. If a school has 3 or more cases then it is going to close for a couple weeks. Everyone is on high alert about it, so far no one in our schools have had it so that's good.
Well that about covers our last few weeks. This weekend Chris is going to the DMZ and I am off to the beach again with a few girlfriends. Thanks for continually reading our adventures.
blessings to you all!
