Bowling

Friday we went bowling with Wills platoon and the boys had a blast. They love to bowl which shocked the heck out of me and had a blast beating the crap out of each other. Michael was upset that he couldn't join in the fun but he gave Will a run for his money by having him chase him around the bowling alley.



















Update on my quilt: I am loving this whole process but then again I am nerdy like that when it comes to arts and crafts and will have to say that I may just continue quilting for the heck of it and to decorate my house the way that I want it to be. I also found some cool things that I could quilt for my nieces which I plan to do next to have them ready for christmas. But I will attach pictures of my progress. I have 5 more 12x12 blocks to make woohooo almost to the next portion. Oh yea and here's a few picture of my playing around with fondant on cakes lol yes I have been keeping pretty busy.

Jay's First Haircut



Thats right I finally cut his hair and am very happy about. No more crying because he has to get it washed or worrying about combing or braiding anything. Freaking awesome and he loves not having any hair. Go figure. Now to just get use to looking at him with his hair is the key lol. He looks like a brand new kid.

Gospel Fest 2012

So, my granny has been getting on me about going to church and blah blah blah lol. But honestly I haven't been to church since my Gramps died and haven't really had an interest in it either. But a good friend of mine invited me to go to the Gospel fest on post. So I went and had a good time even though the boys were bored out of their mind lol. Shawny was ready to go time he walked in. And mikey was just like yea whatever. You know black people don't ever stick to a time schedule but I stayed for two hours and then headed out after that. Of course the Warriors club wasn't open  yet so I couldn't get my $5 crab legs lol. you know I love my seafood. So we ended up eating at the px again. And I got a chance to get started on my quilt pictures coming soon I cannot wait to see how it turns out. Super pumped.

First Scentsy Party.

So I went to my first scentsy party and ended buying stuff when I told Will that I was just going to hang with the girls drink a little and see what it was all about. Of course ever the super saver once I started hearing what they had to offer I wanted the best for my money. Lol I bought two warmers and six scents not that I need that many but hey it was a good deal. When I finally got my stuff I had almost forgot what I had order. But lord Will was hooked once he smelled the first scent so lol as long as he is on board lol I will be using scentsy till I can't anymore. For those that don't know what it is and who us real candles man you are missing out on some awesomeness lol (is that a word) and I can hear my little sister brittany saying now oh lord you are hooked on yet something else. Lmao what till you guys smell I swear it's the sugar honey iced tea lol. So, I have ordered on for my granny and lol now even am selling it go figure. Though I am not big on the whole selling aspect this sells it's self so I don't have to do much if anything. So just from a simple night I made some new friends, drank some great tequila and got hooked on scentsy lol. Sounds like a successful night in Korea.

Proud Big Sister




So, while I have been in Korea trying to get myself together and finish school. My siblings have been following and getting themselves together also. And I will  have to say that I could not be prouder. Both of my brothers are now licensed to sell life insurance, one of my sisters graduated college, and the other one is about to graduate from high school. Just felt I owed them this much to dedicate a little blog to show them how proud I am of them and I wish them much success in their future careers. Now a few more years and my baby sister will be well on her way to college.

Happy Valentines Day

Well, since valentines day and will's birthday are a day apart we just went ahead and celebrated early since he wasn't sure if he would have his birthday off because of the exercise they are starting this week. Saturday we went to dinner at the Warriors club and had a pretty good time. He opened all of his gifts because he just couldn't wait he is now joining the world of xbox smh and has a video camera so watch out he will be recording any and everything that the boys do and sending out dvds. And then Sunday he got his Jacket I had made for him  lol while surfing the internet though I found out a cool little history fact about korea so every 14th of the month I will be updating the blog with this tradition and what you are supposed to do during it lol.



Valentines Day Feb 14th
If a woman wants to confess her love for a man, or express her feelings for him, this is the day to give that special someone some chocolate. The streets of Korea begin to line itself with chocolate-filled lace baskets about a week prior to Valentine's Day. This day particularly makes a large profit in department stores, hotels, chocolate stores, bakeries, jewelry stores, and doll stores.




We missed the one in January so to back track to that one it was Diary Day January 14th
To symbolize the beginning of a new year, couples exchange yearly planners in which they mark their plans, anniversaries, birthdays and other important dates.




I got my sewing machine for valentines day so I have been starting the process of making my quilt yayy lol. Watch out for updates on that since I promised I would share my progress.















Yesterday I ventured to Dongdaemun shopping plaza it should be called city lol but had a blast. They any and everything that you could possible imagine and if you are really into fashion design I would suggest going down there to get any and everything that you may need. It was so big I didn't even get to majority of it lol. But that's okay gives me something else to go back and do. I did see the nastiest thing every man do they make sure to utilize every part of an animal lol.

I have already come

So today some random Korean ladies rang the door bell and I usually don't answer but I did today. They were from the Church of Christ here in Korea and wanted to discuss the bible with me. Now for everyone that truly knows me I am far from the bible toting type but I sat down with them and talked about the bible. They believe in the heavenly mother which I never thought about before since god created male and female in his own image. They also talked about how Christians are waiting for the second coming of Christ when he has actually Already come. They are also the only church here in Korea who practices the passover. They have some videos on Youtube search I have already come. It's enlightening to me only because I like to see different peoples points of views on life. And I find it interesting that in the united states we do communion the first sunday of every month but then here they do it the 15th day of the first month of the year. Well, here was my fun adventure in Korea today lol and I didn't even have to leave the house. And by the way lol the womans english wasn't that great but she knew those bible verses in english like the back of her hand and could explain them very well. Religion  is def a universal language.
