Grandaddy and Moving

Our last week in Seoul, my dad flew out to help keep our kids company while we packed up our house to move back to the USA. We had a fun time seeing some of the sights in Seoul with him as a sort of "last hurrah" and goodbye.

Here are some of our pictures from the week:

We went to Gyeongbokgung, the largest palace in Seoul, and watched the changing of the guard.
Our children were photographed (a lot) by the Chinese tourists there while Dad towered above everyone and got a good view. Marc and Emmalyn didn't know what to think of all these strangers giving them so much attention!

We spent a lot of time packing and going through all of our stuff to see what would make the cut into one of our 11 bags and what we needed to sell or give away. Dad had some quality time with the grandchildren and we appreciated his help!

What a mess! Dad was patient with us while we slowly packed...

Marc and Emmalyn shared their favorite lunchtime meal with Grandaddy.. Kimbap!

Jarrod took Dad out for a night of Screen Golf!

As we drove around Seoul, we all packed into our small car.. Jarrod and Dad up front, and me with the three kids in the back..

Finally... all our bags were packed!

And it's off to the airport!

We were a sight... so glad that Dad was there to help push all our stuff through the airport!!

Only 14 hours between us and the USA. Hooray for a direct flight to Virginia from Seoul!

Yeah! We made it! Safe and Sound... and TIRED.. finally to Grandaddy's and Grandmomma's house!

Yes!

One of the last places we went in Seoul together before flying out was to this gazebo on Namsan Mountain. This is where we got engaged in May 2007. At that time, Jarrod read through Proverbs 31 and shared with me all sorts of nice things about myself. :) And then he asked if I would marry him and I said yes. (that is the simplified version of what happened. you get the picture :) So.. when we went back there 7 years later.. he had an updated version of his engagement speech.. now after 6.5 years of marriage and 3 kids later. It was really sweet. And this time we took pictures (we were too "in love" last time to even think about it!)
