Proverbs 31:28“Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”

I love this verse; it reminds me of my 3 best friends back home in Alabama.. They are great mothers, great friends, great wives… great at all they do! They are what I miss most about Alabama… I loved the church and I loved my home but the church is just bricks and my home is where my family is, so for me it is those friends that have a left a large void in my heart… God placed each one of them in my lives for a reason, and looking back I know that it was to lift and encourage my walk with the Lord… Today as I wander this new country without them, I draw closer to Him….. Jeremiah 29:11 “ For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” His plans are great, His reasons I cannot understand, but that is why He is God and I am man… I trust you, Lord, lead me closer to you!

On an awesome side note….. On Friday we meet the Fichter’s , Jeff and Jeanette… They have two little ones… Today, we all went to Sapgyoho… A beautiful place to do some shopping and buy fresh seafood… The kids had such a great time and the natives just had a hay day with our children….. One elderly woman picked up little Michael and just swung him around.. They loved to stare at the kids and some even took pictures.. It was so fun! There was a huge play area for the children, an amusement park, and shopping areas.. We all had a great time! I hope you can all get a small piece of what our life in Korea will be like… Enjoy!! Love to all!!

At the fresh market in Sapgyoho.. The kids loved all the fresh fish, crabs, octopus, and clams

A squid trying to escape...

The family at the pier... Michael was hiding....

Kayden on the ship playground...

Michael being silly!! Ahooy!

Sweet Lily, loved the breeze.. Mike took her for a little bird watching..

Such a sweet angel.. Loving her alone time with daddy!

Me and Lily relaxing....

The boys posing for a picture....

A Korean women who just loved the kids... She asked to hold Lily and to take a picture with her... Lily is going to have to get used to the paparazzi!!

Some of the best Popsicles.....

Yummmooooo...

Cheese!

Jeanette and Maddie posing with the popsicles..

She had melon and loved it...

This little boy kept coming up to Michael and wanting to play.. they just kept yelling funny things at each other in their own languages... They were so cute!

Mike just had to try their fried bugs... We think they might be a form of a flea... yucko!!! Go testosterone!

Some of the funny construction signs that are on the side of the road!!

Yet another!

The merchants walk around and give samples of what they are selling.. The came and cut fresh fruit for all of us... Lily just loved the pineapple....

We got the kids a slush and Michael couldn't wait to get to the bottom of his.. he tipped it over and splat... All over his face.. He was bummed, but Jeannette and Maddie came to the rescue with a refill.. Thanks guys!

In front of the store....

Poor Lily was spent by the time we headed home.. Sweet girl, not happy!

A view from the car on the way home.. The rice patties on the side of the road!!

The vendors were on the main highway selling food in the middle of the street.. if you want something you just stop by them and they take your order and serve you in the middle of the road... Crazy!!

Believe it or not, this is a fake person.. They have mannequins that sit at the side of the road and wave caution lights... That is an ingenious idea....

Mike's new beater... His 1993 Hyundai Galloper... He loves it... it seats 9 people.. they boys think it is the coolest car ever... Mike is happy.. bought it for 1500.00 dollars... Just something to get around Korea in... Soon our van will arrive from overseas...
