Our First Korean REUNION

It seems as though this Autumn has brought forward a lot of "firsts" for me. And I sure am glad!

After one year of being separated, a bunch of the old crew from our days in Korea, made a trip out to Austin to reunite once again.

Dave flew in from Michigan.

Sohyun, Dave's girlfriend, flew in from South Korea.

Jon flew in from Washington, D.C.

Jenny drove in from New Braunsfels, Texas.

Jane drove in from San Antonio.

Andrew and I hosted.

To say we did a lot would be a lie. However we did eat a lot of Austin cuisine (food from the infamous food trucks, lots of Mexican, and even more of that good ol' Texan BBQ), drank a lot of alcohol, and picked up where we last left off in Korea - but this time, in AMERICA. We watched football, ate lunch in a small Texan town called Gruene, and even saw San Antonio and its' infamous landmark - the Alamo. Sohyun rode a mechanical bull, Jon bought a million shots, and we danced around taking silly pictures. At one point, there was even a rugby match in Andrew's room, a guitar session, and a sit-up/pull-up competition.

It was just like old times. The rest of the crew that couldn't make it or who are still living in Korea were sadly missed and thought about often. Cramming a full year apart into a single weekend was simply not enough time for catching up. But that just means we need to get together again, in a new place and with more faces. Glad we could pull it together. And for the record, I still hate saying goodbye...
