Wet, Wild Fun!!

Well, I know its been a while since the last post so here is an update.  

   We are all moved in here in Itaewon-dong.  Itaewon strip is a little PSYCHO but I'm getting along.  Walking sucks but its only 25 minutes to work.  But we have a nice view of the Han river from the roof.   We have a Master bed and bath, a living room, kitchen with a full sized refrigerator and washing machine, and an american sized dryer on the back porch.  There is a small bathroom for the dogs and two other bedrooms, but one is my sound room and the other is just empty for now.  It also leads to a little sunporch out back.  So all in all, its a nice little place for Korea.  

   Along with the rooms come two little ankle-biting dogs.  For the record, they are not my dogs.  I did not choose to purchase these dogs.  They came with the wife.  So I do my best to love them.  Sometimes they get a spanking but I can't smack too hard.  I just spend most of my time cleaning up the poop and pee they leave behind.  Sangun, the little dog with no hair, is sick right now so he doesn't always get to the bathroom on time.  Wonee, the bigger dog with all the hair, is kinda jealous of me over Sang Mi.  But I always make sure they get plenty of food and water and lovins.  They are such cute little buggers that you cant not love 'em.  But it feels like having resentful teenagers at home.  I work my but off to afford the nice canned food but when I come home, I'm still a stranger for a few hours until they remember me.  Oh well, maybe they are just prepping me for the future when I really have kids.  We plan on bringing them home after Korea but you never know, I could forget to do the quarantine paperwork :)  

  Anyways, Thanksgiving was good.  It was better to just have a break from work but tomorrow its back to the awfulness.  Maybe I need some in-country leave soon.  More time to spend with my new MacBook Pro!  I am now a two Mac household.  The only reason we have a PC is so Sang Mi can run her korean programs.  Otherwise, I'd just sell it for parts.  But she sends her love to you guys and we cant wait to see you in July.  Peace out.

It's COMING..............

Is everybody ready for THANKSGIVING???????

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Okay so I still can't figure out how to make pictures go where I want them and in what order I want them. So here is my KITCHEN thing that I made last weekend. I had something else in mind but this is what my wallet could afford.

And these are pictures of the FIRST SNOW in Flagstaff!!! it only snowed for about an hour and man was it COOLD! It was so fun seeing it though. And I did ask myself, what have I gotten into?! haha but it was so pretty! Just a little preview of what is to come!

notcie the new porch and new windows. Hope that all gets fixed Soon!

Yeah and I need help updating my wardrobe for this kind of weather. I've been wearing a skirt to work every day. I have like two pairs of pants that arnt jeans that I can wear but other than that I'm in trouble.

We went to Cottonwood on saturday afternoon so Kameron could get some birthday sheet cake and go fishing. It was a short trip cause we had to get back for church and all that, but it's been a fun weekend! Hope all is well for everyone!

It's mom!

So, I'm using Em's laptop...my computer is back in the shop (time to buy a new one).  Not really liking the keyboard.  Excuse the typos.  Janel the kids looked grreat, be sure and send pics.  I felt bad I missed Dane and Paige, I was in Mesa.  The barn wood is going on the sauna as we speak.  Looks awesome!  I know dad is really pleased.  Well, did we all have a mourning party last night.  Hope I'm not stepping on any toes.  Who knows maybe he'll be great.  At least prop 102 passed.  I'm heading to Prescott this weekend to be with my foursome from high school.  Should be fun.  Looking so forward to Thanksgiving.  Oh, Janel, if you hear of any home rentals, let us know.  Have to be out of Sue's house by the end of November.  Looking for a 4 bdrm.  We're moving the office to Thatcher on Monday.  Know this is a jumble mess, but at least I'm writing.  Nate, be sure and send pics and do we use the apo address you gave us to mail the guitar for just regular mail?  Wish your bride congrats from us.  Sounds like you're happy and that's important.  Married life is great!  Love to you all and have a great week.  MOM

Lamb update

Hi Everybody!

We had a fun weekend. Judy came to visit and we spent some quality time. Halloween was fun, we went to our old neighborhood for a block party and trick or treating. It was nice to see everyone and I think they were glad to see us too. We still miss those guys! Cade decided to bail on the costume by the time we got there, I guess he's outgrowing the dressing up thing. I really thought he'd let this be his last year but apparently he's done already. Sadie was an 80's girl, Cooper was the character "Slappy" fron the goosebumps movies "Night of the living Dummy" 1,2,and 3. He looked really creepy. Wyatt was Anakin Skywalker and Dayton was Ironman. We just really trick or treated in the old neighborhood, not much around here. The best part is that I have only had about 8 pieces of candy TOTAL. YAY me!






On Saturday Nick and Hannah brought the kids down. We watched some home video and then went to BK and the park. Jason brought Ava over saturday evening so he could go to the Regional conference adult meeting and the kids all had a blast. We completely wore out Dane and Paige (and their parents too probably) so they headed back to Thatcher. It was fun and pretty low key.

Sadie had a blast at Science camp, she had fun cabin moms and girls. They were the "Spongebabes" LOL She even did the zipline. We just found out that her Sunshine Generation group will be performing on channel 3's morning show in November. I'll let you know when that gets closer.


If you haven't voted today, get your booty down there and get in line! We need EVERYbody! I took advantage of having Judy there to get the kids ready for school Friday morning so I could go get in line for the last day of early voting and Im so glad I did. Mark had to go to Florence to vote on Friday because he is in Tucson at a training thing for his new team at work this week. He only waited 45 minutes so that was good.

Bri, it was good to hear your update, I'm glad thigs are going good. Your friend spa day sounds fantastic! I'm super jealous!!

Nate, we are waiting for pictures from your big day and the new pad!! Tell our new sister in law we said Hi and welcome, we can't wait to meet you!

Happy Halloween (well two days ago)

So how was everyone's Halloween? I'd love to see pictures of ALL my nieces and nephews please. Nick and Hannah, Janel and Mark, Jason!!!! I miss all of your kids (and you) sooooo much. I was in Fabulous Waikiki!!! and China Town in Honolulu. It was so fun. I was a Dragon :) and some of my friends were pirates, witches, the smurfs, a devil, mini mouse, little red riding hood and Lady Luck, I think hers was the cutest. So we went out all night and stayed at the hilton Waikiki and it was a very memorable Halloween. I only at a few peices of candy the whole month!!! I'm trying to lose some weight. I got a little chubby due to stress and lack of exercise and poor diet. But I'm ready to whip it into shape!!!!! I'm hosting a healing party with one of my best friends for all my co-workers at the Spa. They are the most wonderful friends I have ever had. Everyone I work with has been amazing as friends and we are like a family. We all have pretty much everything in common and there is (almost) never any drama. I can actually name the ONLY two times that I know of. But yeah, we had a healing party a few months ago and basically what we do is get two or three ajoining hotel rooms at Turtle Bay where we work cause we get a killer discount, open all the doors set up a TON of massage table an esthetics area and wet treatment in one of the bathrooms and we trade massage, facials, bodywork and treat ourselves to what we do for strangers everyday. only its out best friends. So I am going to get at least four massages a scrub and wrap and facial and pedicure this weekend!!! pamper me! and it's all for $30 because there's over twenty of us that come over the course of three days and 20 times 30 is enough to cover the rooms and food. Well I am going to post some pictures very soon. so I will talk to yall Later!!!
Love Bri
