Mix and Match

This weekend was - awesome.
Friday I came a little too fashionably late to a Thanksgiving. However, still a highly enjoyable evening- pumpkin pie, American football, YouTube, cocktails on the roof, and Christmas lights.
Going away party for Liam and Filip on Saturday. The saying goodbye was sad. But at the same time I spent some quality^ time with new friends this weekend as well.
Saturday was limited to two photos ha


Sunday Tyler made me dinner with the ever so precious leftover Thanksgiving turkey.


And the start of the week...
Monday-
No! No! No!
haha

I bought a Xmas tree tonight. Laura is coming over tomorrow to help string popcorn-
yes!

I talked to my family (dogs included) for the first time with webcam. My mom cried. Cute! That is exciting to have working. Thank you David Paul for helping my mom and dad set it up!
I was also passed around via telephone with the buds back home on MPLS Saturday evening- pre Front (my Sunday morning). Both were great treats <3

Welcome to Korea

My life is pretty much just like this....

..but better.


Saturday night....

HERE I COME
!

THANKSGIVING RULES MY LLLLLLYYYFFFFEEEEE!!!!!!!

Where do I begin?!!! The Seamen's Club hosted all of the wonderful people who wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving in Busan. Eliza scared me pre-dinner saying that I was about to embark on a journey to Old Country Buffet Thanksgiving. But it was more like VFW hall awesomecity 2009.


Thanksgiving PRISON! Lock me up and throw away the key!!




The gravy was awkwardly placed before the stuffing and mashed potatoes. But I managed.







Things got a little messy.




Clean plate club captain.

Round one complete!

Sweet Thanksgiving decorations.

Then Ed showed up! It was a pleasant surprise!

We upgraded to a bigger table! The more the merrier-- and mmoorreee foooooodddd!!

My new best friend the Chef! yyyyeesssss!!!!

Ed's masterpiece.

Add some salt to that...


<3 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! <3

Round three. Two was in there somewhere....

I was on a mission to bring a friend pumpkin pie. Soooo I brought tinfoil to the buffet!!!! Heck yes- I am from Wisconsin! Buuuutt then I was to chicken -- err turkey- to do it. So Shannon another Wisconsinite with no shame- helped me out.




But ttthhheeeen the chef whom I buttered up earlier- gave me two pieces short of a whole pie!!



Now what?! The pub.



Some how a 'dirty deeds' list got started. This was the mellow side..



Endless fun


Home... sad...

It's good to see...

...that some things never change.

Pizza here and holiday cheer.

I love Christmas!

And I love pizza!

Love love LOVE it!

But the pizza today was not good :(
In fact these plain looking breadsticks were better.
And neither Laura or I wanted to bring home the leftovers (but we did anyway).



ps Thanksgiving?!!?!! Crap- its in four days. We have a place we want to go- but still have not made a reservation EEEK!!
