Korea-Day 3

We woke up and explored on our way to breakfast. 

These are what the city streets of Seoul look like. 

We found this giant church out of no where right around the corner. It was crazy big and awesome.  

We had breakfast at McDonalds per Spencer's request. A sausage egg McMuffin, hash brown and O.J. is delicious no matter where you go, I don't care what anyone says. 

 We spent the afternoon at Iteawon Market. It's where I saw the most tourists, but it wasn't really "touristy" shopping. There was souvenir shops, but when I got underground and down the alleyways I found TONS of adorable little shops and boutiques. I was so in love with everything. Even Spencer thought it was cute. 

 I was a bit overwhelmed in a whole town filled with shoulder to shoulder adorable clothing, and stuff. I was on the lookout for a dress because they had ADORABLE ones and they were everywhere. When I picked out the one I wanted they said, "Ooo, uh, no no. That for Korean woman size medium. You no fit." Then proceed to show me a stretch waist dress that better suited me and my "uppa awea" as he said. Needless to say, I did add a dress to my wardrobe.

 We got Spence a hand made 3 piecer suit. Super slick. Lil Korean man sizing up Spence below. The owner of the shop had really good English and was adorable. We were a sucker for him. His name was Mike aka Buddy Hacket...how can you resist?

These were the boutiques we continued to stumble upon. Alley after alley of classy, beautiful and mouthwatering fashion. ANNY was an ENTIRE store of cute sassy/summer dress each with a matching boyfriend cardigan over it. Every single one. UGH. Heaven.

 Kim Kim woulda loved the shopping!

 That evening we decided to head over to Olympic park (The summer olympics were in Seoul in 1988) to catch a baseball game. Gotta love that something we love is all over the world. The Korean leagues is a bit sorry, but the Koreans love it.

  The Fans are crazy! They sit and do the same motions and sing the same songs the ENTIRE game. They love yelling. They even have cheerleaders. Full on chearleaders that are going at it the entire game. And they wear white gloves. Classy.

Garden baseball figures+Spence the Ump..."You're outta there"

A wonderful day, but exhausting. I fell asleep on the bus ride home. Korea is tiring and splendid. 

Here- Las Vegas 12:19am

Again, Korea and more will come at some point this weekend, but first a slight update.

Our new home is Vegas. We turn in our moving truck in the morning and then it's just a matter of unpacking all our ugly boxes. Tonight we set up our room with my mom and I got pretty excited. It's home for a while so I like to make it feel that way. And by home I mean my parents house. The basement is a CUSH step up from our small home in the Prov, so we are happy. We'll be here for a bit. Spence is working and I'm doing the wedding thing, got two this month so keepin' pretty busy. We're just stoked to be in the same place and settled for a quick second. Life has been so different for us this summer so we just want to get back to normal.

Vegas residents, I'm ready to play when you can (and I guess when I can find time:)). And non-residents, we have two bedrooms in our lil part of the home so visit...the bed is super comfy!

Also we had a family dinner tonight (Did I mention my parents AND my brother and his wife life just upstairs. The Taylor hotel you could say.) At dinner I asked what the house rules were. My mom threw some requests out, we all added comments, and my dad laid down his ONE rule. The one he waited until we were all quiet before he said, "When you drink the last of the grape juice go to the storage and put a new one in the fridge. It's not that hard." Well said pops, I hope I can live up to your demands.

Going to bed, hoping that our life falls in order at some point!

Here- Salt Lake City 11:34pm

Alright, our "Here and There" segment will be over just as soon as I muster up the time and energy to blog about the rest of our most awesome vacation across the sea to our favorite asian land, Korea. We'll get to that at some point. 

For now...We have bigger things to discuss.

I've mentioned once or twice in my life to almost everyone I've ever met the name 

KIMI ROONEY. 

"Do you know my friend Kimi?" "Oh, well my friend Kimi" "This girl Kimi...you'd love her"

And most of you are darn well lucky enough to know her and love her yourself.

BUT none of you, unfortunately, are DARN WELL lucky enough to call her, or someone you have called your best friend for 5 years (but what seems like your whole life basically)...

lucky enough to call her:

YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW.

Yeah, like it's not a big deal or anything...happens all the time...I'm not that excited...It's not weird or crazy at all...I haven't crossed my fingers for three years or anything...It's not like I've done spells or something a few times a day...I've never like, dreamed of it....It's not like I even want it to happen...I'm not like in LOVE with the idea of it or something...

BUT YEAH--It's reality. 

I don't mean to sound snobby about it,

but my excitement in this situation decides to come off that way. 

I've already had 2 sisters and 1 one friend use the hate word towards me on the topic.

 Hate me if you'd like. Or relish in the glory of it with me. 

Miss Kimi Michelle Rooney will in fact on December 17, 2011 become 

Mrs. Kimi Michelle Orr. 

Same last name? Yeah that's right. Best friends just do that sort of thing I guess.

We always knew we were something bigger than just friends. 

Upon taking that last name she will be sealed to my darling brother-in-law Nathan Orr who will greet her for eternity with a matching dimpled smile. 

Can you even imagine?

I hardly can.

HARDLY

Kimi Orr and Rachel Orr

Sister Orr

Sisters

Sure 

Why not...I'll take it

Another girl in the Orr family?

Yes please.

Yeah, I said family-weird

CONGRATULATIONS NATE AND KIMI!

I am so happy for you both and love that I know you are both so perfect for each other. 

You're such good people and so wonderful and I love that I love you both so much individually and can now OFFICIALLY love you as a pair. 

Oh and congrats to me to I guess...I'd say I won this round

(And a little side note...these two love birds oddly found themselves all own their own. They had their own secret love that I just wished would blossom. They're their own matchmakers. Creepy huh...I know)
