Happy 2014!

Our New Year's Eve and Day were pretty low key but nice for the two of us.  Since Eric is on vacation this week and I leave work at noon now we hung out at home together for most of the day on New Year's Eve.  We enjoyed a yummy crockpot meal and an evening walk before settling in for the night.  We didn't even feel much like watching a movie so we ended up having a Boy Meets World marathon and reminiscing about this last year while we waited for midnight.  Shortly before midnight we turned on the Korean news and watched the live coverage of the countdown (and hundreds of thousands of people) outside one of the palaces near City Hall.  It was a quiet way to ring in the new year but also one we will definitely remember.  It was the first time we have spent Christmas and New Year's in Korea.  It was also the first year we counted down in Korean!   We spent New Year's Day at home as well.  We even watched the ball drop in NYC on live TV this afternoon and we got our favorite Chinese/Korean fusion take out for dinner.

2013 brought us many joys, as well as some challenges in a year that seems to have flown by.  It was a year that we spent living in Korea, learning and growing together, and making countless memories; a year we will definitely never, ever forget.
2014 already promises to bring us many new adventures and likely some challenges as well, as we will be leaving behind this chapter we have created in Korea and beginning a new chapter at home in just two short months.  We cannot wait to see what all it will bring as we begin this exciting new year.
