Chirstmas 2008

This Christmas was so different not having our family around, But we manage for our first Christmas in Korea . My family kept asking us what we needed and all i said well gift cards would be hard to cash over over for "Won" that is what they call their money over here. So what my family did was give the money to mom and she put it in our bank account. I said make sure u tell me who gave so i could tell them thanks. So we had Friends here in Korea that was selling their stuff so they could pcs out and go back to the states. So mom said to use the Christmas money on stuff we needed to for our apartment. SO we bought their closets, a recliner chair, a small computer desk, and some shelves. So we got a good deal and thanks to all the family to helped us so i can have a closet to put my clothes in. Also on the 27Th of December Michael and i went snowboarding with a couple of friends to the high ski resort about 4 hours from us i didn't go snow boarding i walk ed around with my friend Lindsey while her husband Matt and Michael went snowboarding Michael had allot of fun but was sure sore after wards a couple of days from falling when i saw him after he was done snow boarding the back side of him was covered from head to toe in snow and ice he was funny. Thanks to everyone for making our first Christmas away nice. We wish we could have been around family and friends. But I am just so happy to spend the time together with my husband and make new friends, and remembering the true purpose of Christmas that Jesus was born and celebrate his birthday. Thanks to all my family and hope they know what they mean to us. We love them and miss them truly.
