Price Comparison

So, we thought you might be interested in seeing a price comparison. Yesterday we bought a can of Women's shaving cream. In the states at Dollar General this would cost $1. But, lo and behold in Korea everything is backwards so here it cost us 6,000 won. That is a little more than $5 with the exchange rate. REDICULOUS!

Week 12 Baby Bump

So, I finally got the courage to post a picture of my baby bump. I'm almost into the 2nd trimester and I will really start to grow then. Anyways, here is what my belly looks like now.

Not much to see just yet.

Homesick Pie

So, Russ was at the school doing extra work all morning and I got a little homesick. I talked to my mom, sister, niece, and brother on skype and started to miss my family and friends a lot. In order to keep myself busy and do a little something for my hubby while he was gone, I decided I would make him a surprise apple pie. This is the first time I have EVER made an apple pie by myself, so I am pretty proud. So, without further ado here it is....


Not only does it look good, but it tasted delicious too! YAY me!

Ultrasound #3

We went again to the Bom Women's Clinic to see our little baby. We've been anxiously awaiting this ultrasound, because it is the first one that we can see our baby's features. Check out the pictures below. The baby is now 4.12 cm long. It's heart is beating 160 times every minute!

Our First Korean Soccer Game

The staff at our school decided to try and do one big activity together every month. Every month, a new person gets to choose the activity. This month's activity was to go to a Korean soccer game. We traveled to Suwon, 45 minutes away, to watch a pro game. Here are some pictures of our experience.

When we came into the stadium, greeters gave us these funny visor hats made of cardboard. We had to construct them ourselves, but they actually fit. Most of the fans wore them throughout the game. We took ours off after about 5 minutes.
The scoreboard at the beginning of the game. Suwon vs. Hyundai (yes, Hyundai is a Korean company). As you can see, the stands aren't nearly full. Baseball reigns supreme among sports in Korea.
