ever noticed how life accumulates endless amounts of paperwork? i am so annoyed with paperwork... I spent the day going through old statements, emails i saved, cards, pictures, scrapbooking materials, and all the other material things life throws at us. i have always wondered what life would be like if we lived longer ago. what annoyed them? was it when they ran out of firewood and couldn't keep their homes warm enough?? Or running out of time in the day to complete all the tedious tasks that demanded their attention? hmmm... not sure.
Recently while watching Korean tv, i realized that this country which is very modern is still rooted in many old traditions. i really respect this about Korea. i find it sooo unique that even in their modern, overpopulated city, they still ferment food on their porches in stone pots, have outdoor cooking areas in some places. this week as Korea celebrates Lunar New Year, I wish them the best in the years to come. they have maintained traditions that stretch back thousand of years, and yet they have many modern conveniences. Of course, some of those modern conveniences need to stretch a little further like providing changing tables for babies in more places. despite this, Korea takes the cake for maintaining such a balance.

About Me
- Matt, Mel, Josh and Caleb
- We've lived alot of places including S.Korea, Seattle and San Diego. We've liked all the places we've been, but we like our current home the best! We now live in a great town with fabulous people that appreciate the value of hard work and a kind word. Its tough to find that type of place anymore. So with that said, we enjoy taking road trips, working on our house, growing our garden, attempting new recipes, and just hanging out as a family pursuing new and old hobbies, and spending time with our families. We have lots to be thankful for, and hope to share a glimpse into that here. Visit often, sit awhile and leave a comment!
