Farewell for now Travis Tanner

Today in the early am, Charlie and I had to say our farewells to Travis Tanner. He is headed back to the states for school. After Travis walked out the door, Charlie whined for about 2 hours, and kept vigil either at the door or on the edge of the bed. Charlie missed his buddy, and he had to spend the day cooped up in the bathroom, until I got home from work and volunteering. Charlie and I decided to go on an hour and a half walk/run to take our minds of missing Travis. Above are pictures of our sad faces :( Good Luck at home Travis Tanner, can't wait to see you ! Sending all of my love and Charlie's, it won't be the same without you.

Chicken Little's Pictures

"The sky is falling, the sky is falling" Mokpo, South Korea edition

I begged Travis to do couples costumes this year, but I also wanted our costumes to relate to Korea. We decided to be a bottle of soju, its the Korean equivalent of vodka, and a chicken. Korean men love to eat chicken and throw back some soju or beer. I glued approximately 1,000 (Travis says he doesn't think its quite that many, but this is my blog!) feathers to a white tank, wore orange leggings, made a crest?, and glued a beak to some green glasses. What is a Korean anything without some fake glasses with no lenses for fashion purposes only. Travis painted two cardboard boxes and tied them together. He got way more compliments, and I wasn't jealous at all!
We went out with our friends Carla and Joe. The bar was too too crowded, so we hung out and had a few beers outside a convenience store. This is both legal and socially acceptable. I shared some beer with a few older Korean men, who let me borrow their bottle opener. You must return the favor! Also, some snacks with our taxi driver. Travis had made cookies for the bake sale, and the taxi driver did not like them. The cookies were quite delic, good job Betty Crocker :)

Even if your Halloween wasn't covered in feathers and random Korean encounters, I hope it was simply fantastic!
