Summertime in the ROK.

The weather this past week has been awful.  Hot. Humid. Rainy. Just plain gross.  Doug and I have vowed never to live in a humid place again.  I don't mind the rain so much, but the humidity.  It just seems so strange to have these cloudy, dreary, rainy days when it is so hot outside.

Since it has been so humid out, my hair has basically turned into a frizzy mess within two minutes of walking out the door.   I decided to get a treatment done to my hair called "magic straight", which is really popular among Korean women (and men...but that's another story).  Basically, it makes your hair permanently straight, smooth, and silky until the new hair grows out.   I'll post pictures about the whole straightening experience soon.  Definitely no more frizzy hair in the forecast for this girl!

Here's a photo from a few weeks ago, before the rain.

Summer days.

Lately, we haven't been up to much.  Ever since we started teaching at a school on Saturdays, our idea of a perfect weekend is relaxing and setting the plans as the day goes on.  Next weekend we do plan to get out a bit more.  But for now, we are enjoying restful weekends.  Here are a couple recent photos:

 

We been cuddling a lot with Pippa.  She is such a bean bag and can fall asleep in any position.

 

Last weekend we had a spontaneous date night that was really great.  We went to our favorite bar for drinks and then afterward went to the only really authentic Italian restaurant in Cheonan and shared a pizza and a salad.  I think we are going to have to have more impromptu dates from now on!
