Blog of the Morning Calm

I am alive, honest.

Hello, I haven't blogged in a while. I would feel bad about it except this is the Korea Blog and - well, I am no longer in Korea. If you didn't catch all my adventures, you can click onto the archives and catch up.

I am settling down in Northern Virginia nicely. Right now we are staying with some friends of the family until we can move into our own place. Even though I have been here now for a week and a half, I am still blown away anytime anyone mentions housing costs. Can you believe people are willing to pay $400,000 for a one bedroom condo?!? I don't even want to talk about real bonifide houses!

I am still on the job market, but have some interesting interviews coming up. So that makes me stay sane. We also discovered we live really close to the Manassas Battlefield, so I can hardly wait to go there. I am thinking if I should start another Blog, but I don't know how thrilled you would be if I took pictures of my food from Don Pablo's or Cracker Barrel as you might have been about the Korean food. So now I am going to stick with my knitting blog. I may add my running adventures in there too... since I have taken up running again. I'll probably add some battlefield pictures too. So if you want to stay posted - check up on me at my other blog www.yuknitwit.blogspot.com

And just to add one last picture...
Here is a picture of my family from when we went to Connecticut. I have no idea if they want their identities put out there, but you know who Harland and I are. I will protect the names of the innocent. The not-so-innocent is Beaujoulais - he is the white dog near the center. Just kidding, he is a good dog.

So Good Luck everyone, Thanks for sharing in my Korean Adventure.
Rock On!

Quick blog from LA

Hi Folks here are some picctures from our trip in LA. I really wish we had more time here to spend with Harland's family (so that I could get to know them rather than just meeting them!) and to do some more touristy things. But here are some photos. I have to make this quick because I only have the time it takes for Harland to shave to post since we have to leave for the airport soon.

Here is our family. I don't have time to list everyone. I think you can find me pretty easy (hint I'm on the left side).

Here are some pictures from Hollywood BLVD. We only had time to go to Grauman's chinese theare. It was really cool and we went inside to see superman. The inside was beautiful.

more pictures from paradise

This is us in Paradise!!

Unfortunately we have to leave paradise tomorrow but here are some pictures from our trip so far!! This is of course nowhere near all the great pictures I have but it will have to do! We are on our way to the Polynesian Cultural Center today so that will be the bulk of our day. It apparently has an authentic luau from he 16th century - so we will see how that is!

Just FYI I am not sure when I will post again, don't worry about me if I don't post everyday. Internet per day is a little bit pricy here, so I will likely not have internet everyday. :)
Today we are trying to go see the Arizona!
Loves all around to you!

Before I hit the hay!!

Okay all of these pictures look like they came out of a brochure, but I took them. How cool is that?!? We did not do much today in Hawaii. We needed sunglasses, flipflops, etc. So we actually went shopping. Also I went to the dentist. (long story, don't ask). Anyway, here are some cool pictures.
