graduation day!

After six months teaching my babies, graduation day finally arrived! Although i sometimes feel as though i'm losing my mind running around after these babies, at the end of the day i truly love my job. Saying bye to some of my babies yesterday made me realize how rewarding my job really is. I am very lucky to go to work every morning and see such happy, hilarious, loving and entertaining kids! Next month i will be teaching korean age six year olds, which in canada is 4 -5 year olds, ahhh wish me luck!
Here are some pictures of my babies on graduation, some of them dressed up as what they want to become when they are older. Ray won by dressing up as a tourist!!!

wishing for spring

This weekend my friends and i made a very mature decision and decided to stay in this weekend and hide away from catching the last of the winter cold (Although derek thought it was a wonderful idea to  feed me an amble amount of wine before my date on friday which resulted in arriving home at 3am, but i dedicated the rest of the weekend to resting). With resting and "staying in" comes shopping, after all we deserve it for being so good!
Today derek and I took ash to one of my favourite areas in Seoul, Sinsa, for the first time and had a lovely day in the sun and a delicious pasta lunch! The days are getting brighter and longer, Spring is finally in the air and I am enjoying every moment of it!
Roughly two weeks until my mama arrives in seoul!  eeeek!

 I took Derek and Ash to my favourite italian restaurant in Sinsa that jenn, kristin and i discovered last time. It has the greatest shrimp and curry pasta.....seriously the best. The decor and service is lovely too, defiantly a great sunday brunch spot!

 The back garden of the restaurant is covered with hanging light bulbs, wine and the most adorable patio furniture, making the new spring weather even more exciting!

 Goodo ening cupcake shop is tucked away down one of the many side streets off of the main Sinsa road. We just stopped by to admire the delicious cupcakes, next time i'll do it the right away and have dessert first!
