Shopping Carts and Snow.

I officially experienced my first snow in Korea! It was so wonderful :) Last weekend, there were snow flurries on Saturday morning when I woke up! It was so pretty. Even though it was freezing cold outside, I couldn't help but open my window. I'm a Florida girl, so this is a pretty cool thing for me.

On Saturday afternoon, Tommy, Johnny, and I went to Songtan to do some shopping. The boys needed to buy a few things, and I wanted to buy a fleece blanket. Overall, our trip was a success. We ate Mexican food while we were out there, which was delicious as usual :) After dinner, we went to a cafe and had hot drinks because it was so cold!! While we were sitting inside, it started snowing! It wasn't just little snow flurries like earlier...it was actually coming down pretty steadily! I felt like I was in a Lifetime movie :) Sigh...

Since Saturday it hasn't snowed at all. I think that was just preparation for what's to come. I've heard that it snows here through February and sometimes into March, so I'll have plenty of time to enjoy it. :)

When Amanda and I were walking home from school last night, we saw two boys, maybe middle school age, playing in the street. They had a shopping cart, and they were pushing each other up and down the street and yelling. Amanda and I obviously had to stop and watch them. It was so funny :) It's the little things, right? They only paused one time when a police car drove by...but then they were right back to it!

Over the weekend, I got a package from my stepmom, Susie, in Colorado!! What a great surprise!! There were so many wonderful things in there, and each present was individually wrapped. Woot! So...it really WAS like Christmas, and I got to open each one. I Skyped with my big sister, Jena, so she could see what I got. So fun!! Among the gifts was a Spiderman blanket, a glitter wand, Oreos, and fuzzy slippers. The list goes on and on...Susie knows me so well :) THANK YOU!!

This week is going by fairly fast I think. Christmas is getting closer and closer, and the weather is helping me get into the Christmas spirit! This Sunday, I'm going with a group of friends to see "The Nutcracker." It's going to be so fun! I've never actually seen the show before, but I know the general idea. This will be a great experience, I think.
