We had an intimate Thanksgiving meal with 300 of our friends (TCIS's annual dinner transported to GSIS).  There is much to be thankful for and lots of good food at the dinner.  Of course, we had to get a little shopping in the next day to walk off the meal.  Had great Thai food at a nearby restaurant.  We splurged and bought a tree with all the trimmings.  Charlie worked his magic with lights and strung them along our ceiling and around our nativity scene.  Now, all we need is a little snow.

We made it through the first quarter.  Whew!  And, Christmas break is just around the corner...Hello, Philippines!  Can't wait to see the Ronzi's and drink a mango shake. 

Here are some pics from my trip to Guam in October for my cousin's wedding.  Pics of our cozy, Christmasy home to come.

Of all the flights I have made to Korea, this one was the best.  Only 1/3 full, direct from Anchorage (so only 8 hours and a few minutes), no crying babies, and no one digging their knees into the back of the seat.  Mr. Chang drove us to our apartment and we did not have to wait another  4 hours for the rest of the staff.  Nice.  We have AC in the apartment!  Score.  This is the first time I have been able to unpack my luggage the same day I arrived.  Could it get any better?  How about with a rock hard bed and couch cushions you could bounce a dime off of? 

Off to bed, I've just hit the wall.

Someday, I will work on fixing up this page.
