we had our first party at our new house on saturday night. i really wanted to decorate the house for the holidays, and my friend suggested i throw a holiday dinner so everyone could come over and see, so i did. the food turned out great, and the dessert was soooo good!! i will definitely be making the chocolate pecan pie again!! the best part was the stockings. i made everyone big stockings and told everyone to come with stocking stuffers, and it was so much fun opening all our little gifts! fun times, must do it again. playing hostess is pretty fun. :)

but we also did yard work saturday morning, and you know, spending 3 hours weeding and raking is not good for my body! my back is sore, my hamstrings hurt, even my hands are aching! i feel like i worked out too hard or something!

and to wrap up the weekend, spent time with my parents, celebrating my dad's birthday. sometimes it really frustrates me, this language barrier my mom and i have. it takes me so long to explain things to her, using the basic korean i know, mixing it with the basic english she knows, trying to form a cohesive sentence. it's pretty sad. i really wish i could spend like a year in korea to become more fluent. but that's probably never going to happen. so watching korean movies and tv shows will just have to suffice for now...
