Life is good.


So Eric and I finally sent in our applications to teach English in South Korea. Shortly afterwards, EPIK sent us an email saying they had been received and that we are in the processing stage of the application. Next we will have scheduled interviews, and things will progress from there. I am super pumped about the whole thing. We are applicants 216 and 217.


In other really shocking news we have a mouse in our apartment. We named him Mortimer and he is dark brown. We chased him all around the apartment the other day trying to catch him, but failed. Then we went to eat dinner at Wildfire with Eric's giftcard from winning an oyster slurping contest. Oh? I didn't tell you about that?


Well Shaw's crab house has a big oyster festival every year, and for one week from 3-6pm they have 50 cent oysters for people to buy and eat. Monday thru Thursday of this oyster festival week they also have a slurping contest where a bunch of people try to slurp 12 oysters with no hands the fastest to win giftcards and wine and some other stuff. So we went in on Tuesday, and Eric tried. He choked on some oyster juice. Very sad, and he did not place. So we went back wednesday, he got third! He was happy to win some things, but he still wanted that coveted first place! So we went back Thursday. He finally got first place and part of that was a $100 Lettuce entertain you gift card.

We moved!

Our kitchen is beautiful! We both have calendars in the kitchen with our work schedules on them. Mine is cats in hats and Eric's is a more zenful landscape calendar.
Our living room is spacious and comfy. It has a large sliding doors on it which let in massive quantities of wonderful sunlight during the day, and cool breezes at night.

We have an outrageously large balcony!

Our bedroom is spacious, and mostly empty so far.
but we have a really large closet!
Our bathroom is super cute :D
