I'm Here! I'm Here!

Yikes! Looks like I've been slacking on my blogging lately! Shame on me! Kami and I have been a little busy the last few weeks, well, traveling the world! Last week we traveled from S. Korea with a super short stop in Seattle and visited my sister and her family. Then we were off to Tampa, FL to stay with another sister and family. This weekend, we all took a trip back west to Rexburg, ID to visit my niece at BYU-I and go through the Temple Open House (which was so cool! I've got pictures of us outside the temple, but I've got to pester my brother-in-law for his camera so I can post them for you all to see). We also were able to surprise my parents and brother with mine and Kami's presense when we went out to dinner with them in Salt Lake City.

So today, we're back in Tampa and enjoying the sunshine, catching up on laundry and just chillin' out! I'll try to post more while I'm here now that our long trips are over with until we head back to Korea and I'm *almost* over my jet-lag. Although, one side affect of jet-lag that I'm quite enjoying is having Kami actually "sleep in"! Alright, Kami's demanding my attention, so I'd better get going! I just wanted you all to know that I'm here! Ta-tah!

Youth Conference

So, if you're wondering why I've been MIA the last couple weeks, these pictures should tell you why. I went up to Seoul last week with the Young Women in our Branch for Youth Conference. It was awesome! The theme was "Putting on the Whole Armour of God". They had different workshops that were so neat to listen to, and we made blankets to take to a local orphanage. One of the days, half of the kids (we combined our Youth Conference with one of the Korean Stakes) went to the Orphanage, while the other half went to a home for mentally disabled adults and helped them package chopsticks to sell. The spirit was just so wonderful and so powerful there! I am so glad that I had the opportunity to go!

Christmas & More!

Oh my! So, I'm a little late posting the Christmas photos. Sorry! It was a crazy Christmas (Hahaha, in more ways that one!). Anyway.....here's some of Kami Christmas morning and then a couple days after with some of the gifts she recieved this year.

Super soft blankets are all the rage over here. We didn't get this for her, some good friends of our got it for her before they left for the Christmas holiday! Thanks Rich & Bernie!

We think Kami think's she actually is Dora the Explorer. This is Kami in her 'Dance to the Rescue' dress with her best friend, Boots! Quick! We've got to win one big wish to wish Swiper free from the bottle! (Do I have to admit how may times I've watched that episode?!)

This came a couple days after christmas when we finally got around to getting out to a Korean store, but Kami loves giving her "baba" strolls around the house and taking good care of her by feeding her, giving her lots of kissies and covering her up with a blanket. What a good Mama!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year everyone! We love you and we miss you!
