A Ball in Ulsan... Jan 2014


My good friend Heather asked us if we wanted to go to Burns Ball coming up... and I had no idea what she was referring to but I am glad we said yes... we ended up getting a whole table full of friends and having a ball.  There is a huge history to Burns Ball and I would never do it justice so in short it is a Scottish event full of dancing, drinking, poems, getting dressed up, eating and more.  

I had recently lost some weight so I thought oh well I'm going to a ball so I need a new dress... and with some friends help we decided that I needed a RED DRESS for the ball.  Now keep in mind we are in Korea (Koreans are really small) and it is winter... so we had a lofty goal but it was a goal... so off we went shopping and do you know we walked into a Korean store called Micha and found a red dress with long sleeves... it was beautiful and I was very excited about it.  I came home and took pics and sent to family and friends back home to get their input... it was a hit.  However I did not have any time to put it on for Blake (and it was kind of hard to put on and off... a little tight) so the night of the ball I had two dresses that I tried on for him... Guess what he picked?
Not the RED DRESS but the black one (he wanted me to show a little skin... HE HE HE)... No big deal, we put on the black one and off we went... first the red carpet.

Here's our gang... don't we look pretty all dressed up.








The bag pipes were amazing but the Haggis was not so amazing... I choose not to eat it after I watched every one's face around the table.
My date... isn't he handsome... love him.




P.S.  If your worried about the red dress... well don't, she will make her appearance later... don't worry.

Date night for me and daddy...

It is rare that daddy and I get some time just the two of us being adults and this was one of those times... A wine dinner at the hyundai hotel... if you know me this is quite funny bc I don't drink wine but I never pass up a party... so we got dressed up and off we went and had so much fun.




Now that is a whole lot of glasses... I did my job and tried a sip of all the wine and Blake finished his and mine (and took one for the team... poor guy).

This was my favorite dish... the desert... an Ice Bowl with a tiny serving of sorbet.  So cute.



Ice sculptures that had laminated wine labels in them to replicate the wine that we would be drinking that night... really neat.

Crabs and Lobsters... Yummy... Oct 2013

We had some dear friends leave Ulsan so we wanted one more night together... they got to pick the place and one of their favorite places serves HUGE lobsters and HUGE crabs... Blake was out of town so we ate plenty for him (bc he would have loved it... NOT).  Wow... they were big and delicious.  We got to pick them live out of the aquarium, then they steamed them and then put them on a tray and cut them up using scissors. Bon Appetite.











Look at how big their claws where... I had some fun...







After dinner we headed to the indoor golfing facility... theirs a first time for everything.


The next picture is me (the only one who knows a little Hangul) trying to figure out what to do...


Getting pointers from the pro... lets just say I was terrible.
