I'm sure she had a great day! I think she knows it's her special day too.. she keeps running around and dancing! so cute..

Love you Suah~~

To the Moon...

"I love you to the moon and back"

How do you love? I saw this note today and I asked myself that question, "How do you love?"

Am I loving to the moon and back? This comes in all too perfect of a time, the full moon so beautiful and bright tonight. In the morning it was cloudy and I thought there was no chance of seeing the moon on this full moon rotation. However, there she was. SO bright. SO full. SO perfect.

Sometimes I look up to the moon and wonder how is it so bright? It's just the sun reflecting off of the surface. It's so beautiful to see though. Being able to see the flaws in the surface. The holes. The damage. But still, it's beautiful.

Are we?

I'll put it out there: Are we still beautiful in our inperfections? In our misstakes? Who are you loving to the Moon and Back?

The moon is, on average 384,000 kilometers away.

"To the moon and back"

768,000 kilometers to the moon and back.

That's a lot of love.

Are you up for it?

Each day, not just a little holiday, Who do you love to the moon and back? 768k?

If you said "I love you" for each kilometer from Earth to the Moon and Back...

1 "I love you" for each hour.

For your whole life.

WHO DO YOU LOVE?

Quick Trip

This weekend was our grandma's 94th birthday. So we all packed into the car and drove up to 대천 (Daecheon).
What I expected was a quiet weekend with some family that I don't see very much.
What I got was a loud, fun, exciting, and great weekend.
Our uncle was there with his two boys. The older is around Suah's age, so she had a great time (the loud part of the weekend).
Also, our cousin was there with her 11 month old baby. Cute!
I was able to spend some time with uncle and a cousin Friday night. We went out for some drinks and had some good conversation!
On Saturday, Mijin Suah and I went to the beach (it was too cold for Sujeong). Suah enjoyed the sand and the waves.
Next, we had a great lunch! Some pork and rice. The rice is cooked in a stone bowl and it sticks to the bowl because of the heat. So, you take the rice out of the bowl and pour water in the bowl. As you're eating the meal, the water gets hot in the bowl (its a stone bowl so the heat stays fairly well) and rice comes loose. Thus making a very delicious water rice mix called 누룽지 (nurunggi).
A great weekend!

The waves!

Yay!

Resolutions or Revolutions?

Yesterday we spent the evening with our Aunt and our nieces, Bona and Rosa. We had a great time playing Catan, talking and making our New Year Resolutions... or Revolutions.
Yes, I want to 'resolve' things in my life and I want to make it a better year. I want to do this by 'revolutionizing' my life, not constantly 'resolving.'
A revolution is taking new territory. A revolution is forging new ground. Making a better life. Facing the problems with a smile and welcome as they will teach me how to be a better person the new year.

So, I'm wishing you all a Happy New Revolutionizing Year, 2013!
