Seattle/VN

So it snowed in Seattle when I was there!

Well, it was definitely a rare occasion having snow AND having it stick!




Don't these shots make it seem like I was in the country side or something?? I was just in the suburbs, but there are places around us that still have barns and shit.

Anyway, I played in a the snow a bit and got sick. I just get really tired and am really stuffy. Ugh.


On the way to Vietnam!



I won't go over the flight, but I will say that I really enjoyed Korean Air. Oh, and I watched the following movies: Must Love Dogs (Nina, you should see it!), The Island (talk about weird), Mr. and Mrs. Smith (which was okay). I watched part of the Dukes of Hazzard, but it just wasn't for me.

So my mom's place is pretty cool! I have my own room and quickly made myself at home by putting my stuff in the closets, books on the bookshelves, etc. I've really missed having my own space, that's for sure.

I get up early here. I was playing with Emmie last night in my room but I couldn't keep my eyes from closing. So I went to bed at 9 and got up at 6. Weird, eh? I played tennis at 8 for an hour, which was awesome. My mom got me lessons. That's always cool b/c you get fed tennis balls constantly so it's much easier to work on your swing. We also had a ball boy, too. That was awesome.

My mom has some people working for her, so they ask us what we'd like to eat, they buy the food and prepare the meal and set the table... for 3 meals a day! They also clean the dishes, too. My mom gets up in the morning and her bed is made while she's washing up in the bathroom!! It's nuts. I can totally see why she loves it here so much. It's like she's already retired!

My mom and I went to look for dresses for us to wear to this ball we're going to on Saturday. My mom found a dress she liked. The people said that they can make it in a different color and make minor adjustments to it, too. They measured her and the tailored made dress will be ready on Saturday morning! Now THAT'S service!



On the way home from tennis today, my mom and I stopped by a bakery where we bought 3 traditional vietnamese pastries for 20 cents each!

So far, I'm having fun here and am definitely enjoying it. :)


This isn't that bad of traffic, either!


When my mom was a kid in VN, she used to follow her cat on the rooftops. I would, too!
