Back in the good ol' U S of A

It took a while at first but once we got settled (had a baby) Korea was really great. Mr Ahgasawki (which is not really his name but what I accidentally called him at one time when talking to my friends and Nate) was our house guard I guess is what you'd call it? He helped me learn how to back up our car to park in the ever so tight spaces in our parking garage. He was super nice and would always say hi to us.
We went to dinner with everyone from Nate's work. Yes this was our favorite restaurant. I miss it!!!!!

again Nate with everyone from work.

Ahhh...Frosty! Our car in Korea. We miss him too. He was a good car.

All packed up.
We went to Jeju from here. Then back to Seoul had lunch with the Ahns and then left Korea. I will forever be grateful for Sister Ahn. She was another who helped make the transition bearable. Especially after me throwing up when I first got there!!

Back to the good ol Us of A!!!
We got back to the states July 4th. A great way to celebrate our independence! We immediatly got busy looking for a car and house. With in a month we found both. We have been very blessed since being back in the states. We miss all of our friends in Korea but are glad to be back with family and old friends again.

A short while after getting back we made a trip out to Utah for a family reunion on the Feher side. I actually met Nate's family who I've never met before. They are wonderful and we had a great time getting to know them.
We stayed with Dawnelle (Nate's sister) and her husband Eric. While there they introduced me to what is probably now my most favorite past time ever!!!
I went water skiing for the first time in my life. Although I never got up on the skis.
I tried soooo hard. And I have never been so sore and for sooo long after this trip yet had so much fun.

since I wasn't progressing with the skis we decided to change it up a little bit. (I think the kids were bored...how long can you watch mommy/aunt Debbie fall? (Steve and Marty don't answer that!!)

Dawnelle and I rode the tube together and Eric really tried hard to get us off. I am proud to say that we both survived and never fell off. Got some good air a few times...but never fell off.
After tubing Eric got out his surfboard. He of course made it look so easy. So they all tried to get me to go back in the water and try that. Yeah right! My feet aren't even hooked into anything! Amazingly enough I actually got up! But everyone was so surprised no one had their cameras going and I didn't have the strength to try again. (it really takes a lot out of you). So Dawnelle gets up (of course). And then everyone tells me to try again. (I was pretty upset with Nate that I finally get up and he didn't have the camera!) Ok...I'll try it again......

This is just one of the many that Nate took. I even have videos!!!! I have to tell you I am soooo proud of myself and I had so much fun!

Of course Nate got up. Right away.
Eric wanted to go out again 2 days later (the day of the reunion for just a couple of hours). I have to tell you I was pretty sore from the first day! But how often am I going to get this chance? (well since we don't live near them or near anyone else with a boat) So we went. It was a different boat this time. Not as nice as the first day. I think they were trying out different people's boats to figure out if they want to get their own. So this time Eric gets out the wake board. Nate of course got up right away. I get in the water...my first 2 times....splash. nothing. but on my third try...I got up!!! Yea!!! I had so much fun. I was trying to convince Nate that we needed to get a boat :)
So I finally was able to try water skiing, wake boarding and the surf board. We all really enjoyed it. Of course Morgan loved the tube so that was a plus there too :)
