Annnnnd.....we're back!!

Things have finally seemed to settle down a bit. Our stint as basement dwellers was reduced to only 4 days and we are now in our new house. Our belongings were delivered on Tuesday and we finally had the internet hooked up yesterday afternoon. Amen! For the first night in a long time, I was able to lay in my bed and watch a movie. Ahhh, I do like that! Makes me miss the drive in that we used to frequent in Massachusetts. I'd go in my most comfy, pajama like clothes, complete with a blanket, recline my chair and enjoy. Such fun. Anyway, my bed is lovely too. Chris and I have been frantically trying to unpack box after box. I really hate moving and quite simply, try to get it over with as quickly as possible. I am not sure how I did it, but I unpacked all 13,000 pounds of junk in 2 days when we arrived in Germany. This time it seems to be taking a bit longer, even with Chris' help. It will get done in time for company to arrive--as long as they don't come before this summer :)

In some fun and exciting news...we just booked our first Ryan air trip to VENICE! I am super excited and spent much of my morning planning our trip when I should have been doing something much more productive. Anyway, it should be awesome. The highlight to the trip is the fact that the tickets cost us no more than 16 Euro per person. That's about $20 people! No lie! That being said, Ryan air nickels and dimes you. You have to pay 30 Euro for a checked bag, 10 Euro for a reserved seat. We did both (1 bag + reserved seats) for our family since it is our first experience with Ryan air and we weren't sure how it would work with our kiddos. We are going to travel with some friends who have a 3 year old. We've also been talking about next trip which is likely to be a ski trip.

So excited for the adventures that lie ahead. 2013 is bound to be a great year!

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...

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 ...

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....
