A Zippity Doo Dah Day!

Notes of this kind are found all over Korea--DMZ, Seoul Tower, etc. People visit, then leave notes behind declaring their love for one another.

All the gear.


When in Rome...

All geared up and ready to GO!

And he's off!


This is me. The one and ONLY picture. I tried to go no handed,  which I discovered is challenging to do while in a seated position. Much easier laying down as I did in course number 7 and 9!

Chris. On this one we had a magnetic dart that we were to throw at the target. 

Chris throwing the dart.

Victorious. A fitting add to his birthday, Chris hit the target!

A view from mid-flight.

The view looking down. Chris refused to look down, but I did! ;)

Another beautiful mid-flight view. It was a picture perfect day.

The truck of death. We were more afraid riding on this open rear truck than on the zip line; however, I was thankful I was able to ride up the mountain rather than walk!

Chris' prize for hitting the target--a fire extinguisher. Strange gift for the situation, but perfect for Korea ;)

Chris turned 35 yesterday. Wow, an old man! Ha. When asked what he wanted to do for his birthday, he surprisingly said he wanted to zipline. He actually had no desire to hang from a string over the treetops, but he knew I have wanted to do this for sometime, so he took one for the team. What a guy! We dropped the kids off with their Korean Mother, Ms. Kim :) and we were on our way. It was awesome! Here are the highlights of our 9 different ziplining courses.

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

Pink Family

Chris and I are creatures of habit. We like what we like. When we find something especially wonderful, we tend to go a bit overboard. Case in point--Chinese restaurant in Minot, ND. We frequented it often at least a couple of times per week. This was basically THE place we went out to eat. The host actually started to say things like, "nice to see you AGAIN." We were rather embarrassed and fearful that his line would eventually become, "your usual table?" Thankfully we moved. Since coming to Korea, we've tried every Brazilian Steakhouse (there are 4 or 5), I deemed Ceia my favorite. It has the most delicious white rice with which I put this onion mixture on top and it is oh. so. yummy. We became frequent visitors--typically one night per week. We joked between ourselves that we were going to be greeted as we were dreading in Minot. It never happened, thankfully, but who knows what the staff actually said as they primarily spoke Korean :) Another quirk Chris an...

9 Months

      Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....
