fireworks

can i just say i LOVE fireworks! they are always so pretty and cool and loud and awesome. and they remind me of my wedding! :)
last night when luke and i came out of the movies (around the world in 80 days-- way funny!) there were these huge noises outside. we could even hear them inside the theater, but we had no idea what they were.... with the current curfew we thought something crazy migt be going on. as soon as we got outside though, we could see them! they were lighting them right at the fire station on post, less than a block from the theatres! it was amazing! they were right on top of us!

it reminded me of when we were little in the the old house and the tripodis were there and we caught the desert on fire and cousin mark had to put it out. what a good boy scout! :)

but seriously, it was just awesome! and the booms were SO loud! and we could also see some going off on the river, off post, so we were surrounded! man, it was great! i guess its all part of the october harvest celebration going on around seoul this weekend.
i loved it! they need more of that! :)

How awesome Tint! I totally remember the old house and fireworks. Remember Spanish Trail when they would be *right there* on the driving range? I loved that. Enjoy the celebrations! Miss you and love you and Lukey too. OH AND LET ME JUST SAY RIGHT NOW... you have seriously won the prize for coolest birthday gift for Dad. That "chop" is the neatest thing ever. I'll take one of those for my birthday... heck, Christmas even! "Jessie Baldwin" on the border and either Jessie or Speckled Bird in Korean in the middle. Really I have never seen anything cooler. You are so RAD. And look for an email from me... I recently did a scrap page about us that will be in an upcoming magazine issue... :)
