Shortly after we got back from the Philippines in October, our school celebrated the recent birthdays of our kindergarten kids.
Then on October 31st, we celebrated Halloween.
In November I started working on beer and cider labels. The first labels were for a Dark Maple Pumpkin Ale called Black is the New Orange, and a Coconut Porter called Pa'ani Porter (named after the street where our good friend Brian lived in Hawaii, the first place we tried a coconut porter).
I have since also made a Jasmine Hibiscus Cider label and a Tart Cherry Cider label.
The weekend before Thanksgiving day we hosted a potluck in our apartment. We invited 14 of our friends over and asked them to bring a dish. We engorged ourselves in homemade potatoes, stuffing, veggies, dips, chicken (we couldn't find turkey) and pumpkin pie. Bobby made a bomb sangria and we all had a wonderful time!
Some things I am thankful for this year include:
- My job
- Seeing smiling children everyday and being able to influence their lives
- How easy it has been to live abroad for the last year and a half.
- My education and the where it has gotten me so far.
- Our supportive families.
- The amazing day and age we live in. With the technology we have, we can connect with anyone around the world. Without that, our experience abroad would have been much harder.
- Traveling the world with my best friend and future husband.
- Learning how to make beer, cider, and makgeolli.
There are so many things I am thankful for, I am loving my life and everyone in it!
I spread the Thanksgiving spirit around school with these fun hats that Woody and Kyoko brought us last year when they visited.
We celebrated our 4 year anniversary together by going on a play date with our friend's lab, Plato. He was so well behaved and so much fun. We had a great time laughing at the Koreans who were deathly afraid of him of him. By our fifth anniversary we will be newly weds. I can't wait to marry this man (and get our own dog)!
