On the Way

The last two months have been a blur.  We have:
-completed our school years
-finished a few fixes on our house (including some amazing landscaping by Brian!  WHO KNEW he had those skills?!), listed it, and accepted an offer less than three days later


-packed up and/or sold almost all our stuff, including two vehicles (Maggie is modeling our yard sale goods here.)

Don't you want to buy our stuff?
-rented a small storage unit for those things we do want to keep, just don't want to take to Korea


-figured out how to transport all our goods overseas (10 suitcases, all packed to just about the 50-lb limit)
-figured out things financially
-celebrated our girls' birthdays


-said goodbye to friends


-made the trek to Idaho (me by plane; Brian and the kids by van a few days later)

My Greyhound ride to Boise
-spent 4th of July with family in the Boise area


Wahooz!





-celebrated the adoption of our new official nephew with tons of family and friends


-taken pictures with the whole fam-damily


-had our faces painted



-jousted with cousins




-made a day trip to the Korean consulate in Seattle to check on our visa paperwork
-had fun at VBS and another round of swim lessons with cousins


CANNONBALL!
-obtained our international drivers' permits in Spokane
-walked to my elementary school to play, like, EVERY DAY we were in Idaho

Whitman Cubs
-swum at the beach


Jumping over the waves from a jet boat
-set up a lemonade & cookies & homemade origami stand to raise money for new LEGOs


-tent-camped overnight at Hells Gate

The S'mores were a hit!



-accompanied our littlest, newest cousin to his first movie (The Secret Life of Pets)


-paddle boated and kayaked on Lake Coeur d'Alene







-visited Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane




ANNNNND... that's about it.  Well, not really.  I left out the boring stuff.  You're welcome.
We've now been in Korea almost a week,  The school has kept us super busy the past six days, but we've made some great friends, learned a lot about the school, gone shopping a few times, and learned to say "hello" and "thank you" in Korea.  Jet lag issues are waning, so should be able to start exploring and taking pictures soon.  Until then!
