Aquarium Field Trip

We both had field trips to the Aquarium this week! My kids, especially Timothy, were looking forward to it all week. I just had to share Timothy's "YAHOO!!!!" video. I tell everyone about how adorable he is, so enjoy! Check Facebook for the video with all 3 of my kids...for some reason I couldn't get it to upload here.

Muju!

Our ski trip this weekend was fantastic! It has probably been one of our favorite weekends in Korea. We spent 2 days with amazing friends, surrounded by God's beautiful creation in Korea, and got to ski a lot! As always, these pictures do not do justice to our experience, but enjoy a glimpse of our trip!

The whole gang - Justin, Megan, Laura, Nikki, Mike, Natashia, Elise, CJ

Don't we look excited for our first real run?

Actually excited for our second time around!

In order to get to the easiest run, we had to go down a harder one to get there. It was slightly terrifying at times. But we made it!

So Long, January.

I apologize for not posting sooner. We are back in the rhythm of living in Busan, and while nothing too big has happened recently, there are a lot of exciting things coming up!

Justin is up to 20 students again in his class - he had just gotten down to 18 again and was loving it. Thankfully, one of the new students speaks perfect English. We also were both able to take our classes on field trips recently. Justin's class went Ice Skating at Shinsegae (the world's largest department store!), and my class went to a place called Kidsland that had dozens of those Moon Jump inflatable jumping things...it was so much fun!

Things with Church are going well! We are starting a new Community Group (Bible Study) at our house this week. We previously hadn't been going to one, so we are so excited to have one now, and we are especially excited to be hosting it. Our Pastor, Dan, will be heading it up for the first little while, and Justin will eventually be taking it over.

One of my most recent excursions with my friends included a Noraebong, which is basically Karaoke without a whole bar full of people watching you. These places will rent our rooms that have booths and a flat screen tv up front with microphones. You go in with your group and just do Karaoke with them. Apparently they also have rooms like this for the Wii, screen golfing, and probably many more things.

In the next few weeks we have a lot of adventures to look forward to. After this week, we get Monday and Tuesday off for the Lunar New Year. We will be spending two days skiing with 6 of our friends from Church at the Muju Resort. Then just a few weeks later we'll be heading to Boracay in the Philippines for Spring Break. Our good friend Laura will be joining us for most of the week, and I'm so looking forward to seeing a   life-long friend from Upland who lives there!

We pray that you are all doing well! Be checking back soon for an update on our Ski Trip!!
