5th Anniversary

Andrew and I had our 5th anniversary this past July. Tiffany took the girls for the night so Andrew and I could celebrate it. Andrew and I aren't too big on "going big" for things like this..so we just decided on a 4D movie. We had never experience one before and thought it sounded awesome. Before we left for the movie I was looking at the different Facebook groups I have for selling stuff and found that my neighbor was selling a dining table (I've been wanting a new one) so we hop on over and took a look at it. 
Having fun before we left

Well..we decided to get..so here it is! Great anniversary gift!

I love the height and booth feel

 We took a cab over to the movies and bought our tickets. We picked Planet of the Apes 4D. Here the American made movies are in English with Korean subtitles.
Not good pictures


nice comfy seats
 The movie was great other than almost the whole movie is sign language from the Apes and it was translated in Korean. We had no idea what was going on most of time. Andrew and I was wondering why two of the Apes were really close..and didn't found out that they were father and son till the end lol. It was a really fun experience though. The seats going up and down and the air shooting out at you..and it gets cold when it starts raining in the movie. Everyone should try it sometime!

I believe this was before the movie..but it was so good.

It was pretty late when we got out..so we just went home and went to bed...I know..we are pretty boring :)

Hope everything has a wonderful Sunday and I hope to get out some more blog post this week..
God Bless!

4th of July'

We had an awesome 4th of July.

We first started off going camping with a couple of people Andrew works with. We don't own a tent, so we decided to rent a cabin for the night.  Cabins here are just a place for you to sleep...On the Floor!...with a couple of sleeping mats of course. No bathroom...no shower...But luckily there was a building just outside of our cabin that had all of these things we would need. The camp grounds were really nice...well..that's what I was told (since I don't go camping..I wouldn't know). Everybody else there were average campers and had seen lots of camp grounds..and this one was pretty NICE they said.

Thank goodness for the air conditioners in the room!!!


It was rainy all day..and it drove me bananas trying to keep the cabin clean of mud and dirt. I wouldn't have minded it all the much if we weren't going to be sleeping on the ground.

That night we went down to the other tented area and chatted and ate kabobs ( Korean kabobs..AMAZING). The owner knew Andrew's co-workers pretty well and brought down some flying lanterns for the girls to free. It reminded me of the movie Tangled.










We watched the lantern till it disappeared into the night sky. The girls loved it so much we did 4 more of them.

Story had been having a bit of a cough...so we decided to go to bed early. She had a really bad night and didn't sleep much..we were even thinking about going home. Finally the sun rose and she was feeling better..
We walked around the river edge a bit and threw some rocks in for a little while and then took a little walk around the camp. It was nice..but it was time to get home and rest so we could go out that evening for the 4th of July festival they were having on Camp Walker.

That evening we walked on over to the PX where they were having the festival. There were tons of people there already ...so we decided that we would wait in line for the train they had that drove around the camp. 


I can't remember why Story was crying..but it might have been cause she was hungry.
While Andrew and the girls waited in line..I went to go find us food. There were many vendors selling food and I picked what I thought would be the easiest for us to eat. Hamburgers and Hot dogs.

When I got back to them..the train had pulled up and we all scarfed down our food.




The train was fun ..but really really bumpy!

When we got off..we waited in another line for the girls to jump on a trampoline. Mackey decided she would start dancing to pass the time.



My Big Girl!

Thanks Kelli for the bow! Too cute!


Almost there!




                                             Story loved it...Mackey..not so much!






After jumping for a little bit..the girls got off and went over to the bouncy houses..


They wanted to ride this thing..but the person controlling it said no..Story was too little ..and Mackey wasn't about to leave her.

We then walked around the festival a little and saw some friends and then decided to go back home until the fireworks started. There was so much confusion to where the fireworks were going to be shot from and I had asked around. Someone said that they would be shot from the commissary ..so we headed down the golf course and was going to sit upon the greens to get a good look.

As we headed down ..Andrew suddenly spotted something on the field and said..what is that...we got a better look and saw a whole bunch of fireworks ready to be shot off. It was 10 minutes before they were suppose to go off..so we went down some ways (about 100 yards) and sat down with our blanket.



Yes...this is how close we were!!!








We felt like we had our own personal show..cause no one else was around us. It was super special and the girls had a blast watching!


I know it's a little late...but I hope each and everyone of you had a wonderful 4th..!


Being over here with all the military families made it even more special for us...and it's amazing what they do for our country! 
U.S.A !   U.S.A!

Story's 3rd Birthday Party

So lets just say Story had an awesome birthday party! I on the hand was in stress to the max mode. I had prepared myself as much as I could for the day in advance. I was thinking to myself..man this party is going to soo easy and stress free..but that's what I get for thinking. You see I had planned on Andrew picking up the tent, chairs, and tables and doing all the muscle work the day of the party. ..Andrew the morning of Story's party woke up really nauseated and stayed in bed till the party started. So..that left me doing everything. It wouldn't have been so bad if the place where we were renting the stuff from didn't open up till 11am. We also had a tiny car to fit this all into and I had to make 3 trips there and back. I also had some food I needed to cook and lots of other stuff I needed to prepare. 

ANYWHO...Story had a great time and that's what really matters..right?

We had the party behind our house at the park. For those who didn't know..Story asked for a JESUS theme party..so that's what she got.


Jesus is my homeboy shirt

Thank you for whoever took these pictures..while I was running around with my head cut off :)

I couldn't find a another table cloth ( I had originally ordered just one online)..so we went without 












Bubbles was a huge hit with the kids





















We also had the painting little Jesus loves me sun catchers.

Time to blow out the candles


Time to open Presents!
Opening her presents



























Heather and Brittney

Grace and the girls



















 After everyone left Grace and Max stayed behind and played a bit. I really want to thank God for this moment...I had so much to clean up and I was already tired from putting the party together. He really blessed me in the fact that cleaning up didn't seem so stressful as putting it together. I could really feel him and his grace working.




The kids had a wonderful time and I was so glad!


Is it funny that I've had the blog post sitting in my storage place just waiting for me to publish for quite while now...well..I wrote this and the last post on the same day...opps :)

OH...and I almost forgot to add that...We will be coming home to the States for all of December! YAY!!

Laters
and God Bless ya!
