long times ago...

living across the hall from kyungsook has been one of the best things that has happened since moving out to california. ok, that was a complete exagerastion...but, my living situation is pretty sweet. the title of this blog is dedicated to her. she has her little sayings in english, which aren't grammatically correct, but are so cute that no one else in the house wants to correct her. we just smile in our inner hearts alot when she says them. 'long times ago...' is one of them. but, it seemed a fitting introduction at this point as it was a 'longs time ago' that i updated this blog. i've been toying around with opening up a new blog somewhere in the vastness of cyberspace.




so...xmas has happened since the last time i wrote. i had a wonderful celebration with my roommates the night before i flew back to iowa. we really have become a small family. we ocassionaly eat together. we know each others likes and dislikes. we know each others weaknesses. we are passive agressive. but, we really just love each other. everyone was so generous during christmas. one of my roommates expressed how she had never experienced a christmas such as this. where we just sat around and laughed and exchanged gifts. there was much love that night. and, this isn't what christams is all about, we know. but, it was a time where we all felt deeply loved and cared for. it was pretty fantastic. here are a few pics.

Kyungsook is excited to open the gifts!


Eunice excited about her mickey ears. she still grins like that when she puts them on.

We're killing mickey.
