The Roberts in Korea

Reporting In

Just a note to report that we are in South Korea and back at it.  Our flights went well.  We were delayed in Boise for nearly two hours and were subsequently late for our flight out to South Korea.  They "held" the plane for us--we were the last ones on--and we made it to South Korea but our ten pieces of luggage didn't.

So...our luggage is flying in today and should be delivered to the school sometime in the early evening.  We hope it all arrives intact.  So goes the adventure of life and...international travel.  It is very hot and humid here in South Korea.  We are sweating, looking forward to the arrival of our deoderant and...happy to be here.  More to come later.

Heading "Home"

As I write this we are sitting in the Boise Airport waiting for our flight out to San Francisco.  It is hard to believe that the summer is behind us.  As we reflect upon our summer experience our hearts are full as we remember all of the precious people that we spent time with in one way or another.

If you are one of the people that we were able to say hi to or spend time with we want to express our gratitude to you.  Thank you for caring about us, for being interested in our lives in South Korea and thank you for your friendship.  Lord willing, eighteen hours from now we will be in our house in Daejeon, South Korea.  As we resume life in South Korea, the precious memories of this past summer will not be lost.  Our lives are richer because of the time that we have spent with all of you.

A Big Thank you to Chris and Liz

This beautiful home is the place that we have "lived" for the summer.  It is the home of Chris and Liz and we occupied their basement for the better part of the summer.  It was perfect.  We are so thankful to Chris and Liz for opening up their home to us.  Their generosity served to be a huge blessing in our lives.

Not only did we have a wonderful place to live for the summer but we also had a great time living with our friends.  They took wonderful care of us.  We shared lots of meals, fun times, late night talks and laughter together.  It was fun to watch the "new" grass grow and the final touches on their new home take shape.

We will always treasure our summer of hanging out with and living in the home of our friends.  Thank you Chris and Liz--We love you!

Saying Goodbye to Holly

When we made the decision to stay in South Korea for another two years (at least) we also made the decision that our dog Holly needed a new home.  She has been staying at our house in Boise the past two years and she has been wonderfully cared for and has done well.  However, we didn't feel that it would be fair to Holly for us to not be around to care for her and love on her for the upcoming two years so we decided to try and find her a new home.

She has found a wonderful new home at the Zickefoose house!  (Not the South Korea Zickefoose house...the Boise Zickefoose house)  Holly's new home is full of children that love her and play with her and she has another yellow lab in the yard to play with and....they take her to a nearby pond for swimming and fetching.  She loves her new home.

We stopped by Holly's new house and visited her.  Holly was lounging at the pool and so happy.  We are happy too.

More Friends and Fun

Our time here in the States is slipping by all too quickly.  We are savoring the moments as we are seeing many friends and sharing many laughs together.  Here are some pics of some of our good times and good friends. Stay tuned--more pictures are on the way. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just No Words

Summer time pictures of fun, events, animals and other.  Sometimes there are just no words....

Fun with Aunt LaVonne and the Yadons

We have had lots of fun times with Aunt LaVonne and the Yadons this summer.  So far we have enjoyed many backyard BBQs, with lots of good food and laughter.  Becca and Sarah have had gallons of water gun fun with cute and precocious Lukas and Dina and the rest of us have enjoyed holding precious little Brockton.

At some of our get togethers we have enjoyed the company of Randy's parents and new brother in law and we played a new (for me) backyard game involving two balls on the end of a rope and some PVC pipe.  We had fun playing the game together.

Summertime rolls on--it is good to spend time with friends and loved ones.

 

Boise Fun

Upon our return from our 2,200 mile jaunt to Montana we have settled into our routine here in Boise.  We have lots of shopping to do, doctor appointments to go to and friends and family that we want to see.  So far the days here in Boise have been productive.

We did some swinging in a local park.  We spent one hot summer afternoon floating the Boise River with Chris, Liz and friends and we have enjoyed spending time with Gee kids.

Camping with Cousins

Our last few days in Montana were filled with the fun times of camping with cousins (and Grandma and Granddad).  The kids slept in the tent, they did a lot of swimming and shared lots of laughs. We all got sun burns while sitting by the pool and enjoyed cooling off at a movie theater in Bozeman.  

Each evening of our stay in Bozeman we all did some serious eating.  We enjoyed some real Montana beef at Famous Dave's and Sir Scott's Oasis.  We are thankful for the memories created and fun times shared in Bozeman.

Sweethearts in Montana

Here is a great pic of my two sweethearts (Sarah and Becca) with the beauty of Montana in the background.
