Wine, Cheese, Photography & Friends!

Last night, Aaron and I met up with seven of our friends at the Go Eun Museum of Photography in Haeundae for a night full of French red wine, delicious cheese, fancy finger foods and photography!  Our friend Juhye took a french class last year and found out about this event, Beaujolais Nouveau, through her old French teacher.  The tickets were 25,000 won and covered unlimited wine and food from 7pm-10pm! We all had the best time, and may or may not have had a couple moments of swankiness while we mingled with artsy French people! :)

Cheers to a fun night with friends, yummy red wine and more cheese than I've eaten in the last 4 years!

Bobby + Jestine

I am so excited to reveal our engagement photo shoot with Bobby and Jestine from a couple weeks ago!  They were so much fun to work with and were complete naturals in front of the camera!  I think my friend Katie Olson said it best when she said, "I'm in love with their love..."  They really are the sweetest!

To: Jill, From: Aunt Barb!

I think it's fair to say that I have one of the most generous aunts out there!  

Today, she struck again, with a surprise package in the mail!  

Look at all that delicious caramel?!  Looks like I'll be making apples dipped in caramel for the next month!  Woot, woot!

MY aunt Barb knows me so well and knows that I love stuff for my feet - it's the ultimate way to relax in my opinion, so she threw in some mint blossom "foot fizzies" and foot scrub, an awesome pink lip gloss (which I immediately applied) and some perfect for wintertime - red nail polish!  I already have my nails painted today, so I grabbed a wooden chopstick and dipped it into my new nail polish and painted a little heart on my left ring fingernail. :)  Why not, right?!

Thank you aunt Barb! You totally made my day, once again! :)

Dead Battery = no photos

If you're like me, it's hard to sit and read something without pictures! So, let me just say up front, I'm sorry!  I brought my camera with me most of the weekend and kept forgetting that the battery was dead!  Oops.

Friday night, Aaron and I went to The Loving Hut for dinner in Seomyeon, then to H&M for a little shopping (I bought a gorgeous mustard coat with a fur collar. It was 50%! SCORE), then over to Lotte Casino for some roulette with Adam and Ashley!

Saturday morning was spent lounging around the apartment.  Aaahhhhh!

Saturday afternoon and night was spent at a Thanksgiving potluck at our friend Grace's apartment. It was packed with 19 people, 1 adorable dog named Howard, and the most delicious homemade food I'd had in a long time!  Between dinner and dessert, we all rounded up 3,000 won each and played a round of LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT... and guess who the big winner was?!  ME!!!  When I won, I swooped up all of my money and made it rain!  Naturally, right?!  :)

Saturday late night: We got home and set up our Christmas tree!  Now it's starting to feel a little more like Christmas around here!  Nothing like back home, but I'll take what I can get!

Sunday morning, Ashley, Adam, Chris and Stella all came over for breakfast and football at 9:00am!  Aaron made eggs and homemade biscuits from scratch, Ashley cooked up the bacon and I whipped up a loaf of Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread! Mmmm  I love having a house full of friends and delicious food!  

Sunday afternoon: At 12:30pm, the girls and I bid farewell to our football watching boys and headed to Seomyeon, where I met Gill and Sam for our "Tea For Three" Sunday afternoon date!  This time we opted for coffee and a little shopping!  :)

Today, I'm back at work. SAD  Luckily my kids were rock stars today and blew me out of the water on their oral tests.  Can't complain about that!

Tonight, I'm meeting Aaron at CHAM for some Dolsut Bi Bim Bap for dinner, then heading to see James Bond at the movie theater! Not bad for a Monday, eh?!   

Gary and Sharon!

Aaron and I have been super busy, every weekend, building our photoraphy portfolio for when we come back to the US next year!  Last weekend we did an engagement shoot for a darling Irish couple named, Gary and Sharon!  Check it out!
