Tea Party!

Time for tea.

Time for friends.

Time for yummy things to eat and fun conversations.

October 27, 2013.  Tea Party.
Location: Emily's apartment
Time: 2-5pm

Emily and I threw a tea party.  Some people we knew and some we didn't.  Conversations about boys, husbands, boyfriends and how we met each other.



Yummy food.

Lots of laughs!

Thanks Emily for allowing us to have so much fun at your place!

Because every woman is beautiful.
A parting gift plus a rose.

Roses and tea. What could be better?

rolls, scones, clotted cream, Scottish jam, homemade cheese, eggplant dip, peanut butter and chocolate tart,
various fruit tarts, chocolate and vanilla tarts, deviled eggs, organic pumpkin bread, oreos.

Japanese Ramen

Our new neighborhood is pretty great in terms of food.  We have the typical Korean BBQ and other Korean foods, we also found 2 restaurants that cater to Japanese Ramen.  If you have had American ramen--it's crap.  Korean ramen is pretty good but Japanese ramen is just a different taste all together.  It's delicious.

It has that 5th flavor of taste and leaves you wanting more even when you are full.

Some Seoul

My schedule this semester has me free on Thursday's so I went to visit my buddy Chien.  We had a pretty great time and even had some stamps made with our photo on them.  We were pretty surprised.

going strong in Korea!

Yummy!

Changes

Our first week in our new schools and our second full week in our new apartment.

Pretty nice. 

The apartment is very small, but not as small as Ray and Chien's.  No couple apartment is as small as theirs. 

Our new jobs are pretty great.  We have no reason to complain (yet).

Babies Are Us

Well, we are trying to have a baby.

Am I pregnant?  No.

We are going to be doing IVF.  For those of you unaware:  In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

Basically we have been trying to have a baby for almost 2 years and it wasn't working.  Had some tests done and IVF is our only option. 



Since we are Americans living in South Korea, this is a great idea for a blog because we don't know anyone else who has done this (foreigner completing IVF in South Korea).  

We decided to blog about it in a separate blog.  This information may come in handy for someone out there so we are blogging about the entire process.  

All of the information we could find about foreigners having babies was more about the paperwork after the baby is born and where to find maternity clothes and only then, in Seoul.  Well, Korea isn't only about Seoul.

Check out our Baby Blog and follow the adventure.   When things happen, we'll write it up.  Injections, bruises, cravings...all of it. 

Also, if you have gone through this please tell us.  We need some support over here.  Researching about it online only goes so far.  No crazies need apply.
