One of the things that we dreaded thinking about while considering a year in Korea was having to miss celebrating special occasions with family and friends.
Nevertheless, we are so thankful for the invention of skype! My mom arranged a birthday party with my family and Blake's parents over the webcam on Wednesday night. We got some cake from the store nearby, but because of the time difference we had to enjoy the party here at 10 on Thursday morning. It was a little weird eating cake before breakfast, and the icecream cake from DairyQueen looked so much better than Korean cake, but it was great to feel like we were part of the party.
We also had a surprise party for Blake here in Korea with a bunch of friends from church. I think he felt pretty special by the time all the celebrations were over!
