Farewell Chad and Hello Steve!

In honor of Chad departing, I thought you might be interested in a little Korean culture...



Hanbok, as everyday attire, is worn chiefly by elderly people and by the general population during special occasions such as traditional holidays, weddings and 60th birthday celebrations. Western civilization type clothing has taken over this once everyday attire.

Chad is off to Korea. He will be up and on his way as of 1 am. He will embark on a 15 hr flight, stopping in Tokyo first. He is very excited and I feel he thinks of this trip as more of a vacation than "work".

The weather this time of yr is pretty cold apparently. Chad doesn't do cold weather well...

I coerced him into bringing us back prizes from his month long stint there. He has promised he will bring some small gifts for his nephews. I find myself SO jealous that he is getting to travel like this. The military has definitely provided him some awesome opportunities.

I hope he has a very memorable time and he also promises to behave. He says his buddies are looking forward to meeting some Korean ladies (Chels claims they are mostly Russian women there, not Korean), but he's excited to go shopping; I think this is due to his current girlfriend, Abby. We're all grateful she puts up with him!

On to Steve news. He is returning home in April for two weeks. We are all getting excited to see him. I'm most excited to see how Logan's little face lights up when he sees his daddy! It's been too long!
