Easter in Korea

One more day closer to having Garrett in our arms forever.


What a weekend it has been. I'm about to head up to go to sleep but I thought I'd write about our day.

We have had a Marathon weekend of shopping all the markets. Stacy,Brandon, Mike and I have been running all around Seoul. Even in the rain. It rained all day in Seoul today. We had to buy umbrellas. We have got many gifts for Garrett for future birthdays. We had to get all our shopping done Saturday and Sunday. Monday we have agency business most of the day. We meet with the Dr Kim's on Monday morning. Then everyone in the guest house has lunch with him tomorrow. Then the best part. We get to see Garrett again tomorrow. At that time foster mom and Garrett's social worker will decided if we will get him on Wed night Or thur morning when we leave. We are hoping that foster mom will decide to let us have him forever on wed. We will see. We understand if she chooses not to though. It would be nice if we got him Wed so he get a little more time to get use to us before getting on the plane.

One funny thing happened to us going into the subway this morning. As we were walking down the stairs all these kids came running up to us saying "Happy Easter" they were handing these bags out to everyone. We took the bags and were waiting for the subway.
We were all wondering what was in the bag. We all sat down waiting for the subway train. We each got 2 bags. A couple of them were hard and a couple if then were squishy. A little while went by and Stacy smelled it. She said. It smells like eggs. We're like Huh? We opened them up and they were hard boiled eggs some were just Little smashed. No we did not eat them. We pitched them. Lucky we checked or we would of had rotting eggs:-) We just thought it was a fun Korean Memento we would save for our kids. Hee hee.

Mike and I have decided our noses are burnt up. Some of the smells here are crazy. It burns your nose. Especially in the markets some of those smells take your breath away.

One more thing. Mike and I have been eating Korean food in Minnesota for several months now. No amount of eating Korean food will prepare you for eating Korean food in Seoul. We have been eating Korean for lunch and American for dinner. Tonight was Tony Roma's. The burger and fries were heavenly:-)



I'll post more when we see Garrett again.
