Few Photos & Couple of Links

I'll tell you about my manic week maybe later on this week but first I thought I'd post a few pics as I've finally managed to sort through some of our engagement photos during the bit of free time I had while on our Youth Ski Trip on Monday (more details to come later). I was going to post all of the "before" pics onto my kodakgallery page but it's under construction so you'll have to wait to see more later.

This is a pic of Peter, yours truly, and my dad in our "Korean" living room (we have 3 living rooms, one we call a "den" with sofas, coffee table and fireplace, the other's more like a "play" room with our new big teli, PSII/DVD, video, pool table, comp, karaoke machine, etc). The "screen" behind us was actually hand-sewn by my maternal grandmother and is one of her irreplaceable masterpieces. We had low tables with legless chairs for 30 adults in this room + 8 around our dining room table (open plan dining room leading off "Korean" living room) and the kids were all upstairs in the "play" room.

The dress I'm wearing was made / overseen by my mum's older sister who has taken over from my grandmother in her trade and is a very traditional Korean engagement "hanbok". I know you can't see it very well in this pic, but I promise to post some more!

The second pic is more so that you can have a better look at Peter, or Pastor Peter Oh as he's known at church, or Peter "mae-hyung" (one of a few words meaning brother-in-law but more specific) which is what my sis & brothers have started calling him! :)

When I post more pics you'll see that underneath my very light pink "top" I'm also wearing another one of the same shade as my dress. You'll also be able to see the traditional "socks" and "shoes" I was wearing with the dress too!

The dress I'll be wearing the day of my wedding will be very different in colour - lots of strong, vibrant ones! I'll probably be wearing the same "socks" and "shoes" though.

I'll tell you about my week, my Lasik surgery, the Youth Ski Trip, my mum suddenly flying to Korea, 24hr Prayer Meeting, etc soon!

A link for a laugh (bearing in mind that it's from Michael Moore...):
