After teaching some summer school at GCFS right after school, we flew to Ohio. There we spent three weeks having a great time with family and friends and took a road trip to New York to see Brian and Jane's wedding before boarding a flight back to Seoul for two days in preparation for our week in Myanmar with New Philadelphia church. It all went by so fast, by I did my best with pictures and video to put together this recap of our time at home.
Enjoy!
A funny story about Brian's wedding...
I was one of the groomsmen. Before coming back to the US, Brian took us to a tailor in Itaewon to get our suits fitted. They were so nice! Long story short, fifteen minutes before we were supposed to walk up to the alter for the ceremony, I dropped my wedding ring and bent down to pick it up. That's when I heard a "riiiiiiiiiiiiiiip!" Oh snap!
Even worse was that I didn't even get down far enough to get my ring! haha So down I go again... "riiiiiiiiiiiiiip" again! But this time I got my ring. I ran back to the changing room and had another groomsmen problem solve with me to come up with worst-case scenarios. Luckily, the wedding planner had a sewing kit on her - and she did her best. But the pants were just too badly torn.
This is where I learn that the Lord provides!
Just then I remembered that in my bag I had brought a pair of kaki jeans that I had only purchased the week before. They weren't an identical match... but they were close enough! I was sweating throughout his entire wedding hoping that nobody noticed... haha!
In the end things turned out okay and I didn't ruin the wedding. But I was sweatin' bullets during it!
*Stay tuned for some reflections from our recent trip to Myanmar - it was one for the books!
glad y'all enjoyed your summer home! :) bummer about those pants. hahaha. thanks for sharing your story! miss you both!
