Sorry it's been so long! A lot has happened in the six weeks since I last posted. The most significant thing was that Bob and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary on April 9, 2011. It's hard to believe a year has already come and gone!
The real celebration started (at least for me) the day before, on April 8. During his lunch break that day, Bob surprised me by cleaning the apartment (scrubbed the bathroom, washed dishes, did laundry and swept the floors). To top it off there was a bouquet of red roses waiting for me on the desk!
Our anniversary was on a Saturday, and it also coincided with the arrival of the cherry blossoms in Korea. We made it a cherry blossom weekend! On our actual anniversary we went to an area called Dalmaji Hill. The hill overlooks the ocean and there are lots of little cafes and coffee shops lining the streets, along with thousands of pale pink cherry blossom trees. It was gorgeous!
Then on Sunday we attended a cherry blossom festival in nearby Jinhae, which is about an hour away by bus. The other teachers from our school came along too. There was more romance that day as our co-worker Will announced that he and his girlfriend Anastasia are engaged! They are planning on a wedding this summer, but aren't sure if they'll get married in Korea, her native Russia or perhaps somewhere else all together. (My vote is for a tropical destination wedding!)
There were some carnival games, music, food and shopping at the cherry blossom festival. It was a beautiful sunny day, so mostly we just took in the scenery and relaxed.
So now it's on to year two!
***Bob & Lindsey***
