사랑해 yeah yeah!

Oh, hello! Let's get straight to the point! The other day I received a lovely letter from Miss Amber Renee (who I always seem to talk about in my posts). We've been writing back and forth which is always a blast and reminds me of my old-school penpalling days. Because her letter was so pretty, and because I was in the mood to take a few pictures, I snapped away:

And, of course, while I was shooting away little Goguma decided to join in on the fun! I couldn't resist her cuteness and had to let her stay for a while.

Oh goguma kitty
I think she was drawn to a sticker that fell off the letter from Amber.

Anywho, yesterday was the rainiest I've ever seen Korea and most definitely the warmest it's been in a while! The high was 63 degrees and it literally rained all day. David and I needed to go grocery shopping at E-Mart 1 day early so we got ourselves around and headed out shortly after we woke up (which was very late, by the way). Don't you hate it when you go grocery shopping and in your head you bought so many things and honestly believe it will last you for weeks? And then 2 days later you realize you don't have enough food in the pantry or in the fridge?

Yeah, well that happened last weekend and it was quite a bummer. So David and I made a goal to make more things from scratch. Yesterday we opted for a homemade potato, corn and clam chowder. As my kiddies would say, it was so delicious! The only thing that would keep me from making it again is the fact that we bought fresh clams that were still alive and David was opening one up and a LITTLE CRAB CRAWLED OUT. We actually found two crabs. Ew ew ewwww! Picture of the finished product (sans crabs):

Cheers, lovely!
