Vacation time!

Well it is finally our vacation. But first I need to address everyone's concern over the N. Korean issue.

Here in South Korea the situation is not tense. People here are of the opinion that N. Korea would never attack the South due to having the same blood lines......
Anyways in my opinion I do think that this situation will become serious enough for war to break out. If war did breakout I think that N. Korea would bear the brunt of it, at the outbreak. It would give us enough time to get out of dodge so to speak. However I think the real danger is when Kim Jong Il dies, or if something happens on the inside of thier government.

Launching missles is not a new ploy, and the "long range" missle blew up. With the U.S increasing military assets in this area, air craft carriers, bombers (b-52's) on Gaum...I really think that N. Korea would not attack so as to lose power.

Anyways I am rambling. Do not believe everything in the news. While it is being portrayed as big news in America often the headlines here have nothing to do with N. Korea, or if it does it does not capture the headlines for long.

Bottom line...it just is not considered a big deal here, there are some protests in Seoul..but then again...there always are.

Yogita and I along with Goerge will be traveling to North East of South Korea. That area comes close to the DMZ, and is said to be very beautiful. We will keep you all posted with pictures.

We have been compiling the videos we have taken with our camcorder....we lost some because I let the darn tapes sit too long. We will be sending them out later this month.

Some really big news...the most important to us...Yogita will be baptized on Saturday!!! I will try and catch this on tape...but it will be very crowded...I might be able to get the file from someone else.

Melah we have loved the pcitures on your site, your kids are sooo adorable. We too are considering having more children...

We have a new teacher at our school replacing Joel...I am glad you got into your program man!

We will post some updated pictures of George.

CONGRADULATIONS! (Although, we all knew she would). This is so awesome. I have been checking this site for the past month waiting for an update on how you guys were doing. And we can always use another neice or nephew to add to the brood, so get to work. That's an order, Colonel! LOL Mom has us hooked on the show Stargate SG-1. Talk to you soon, Jemilah

We have been hooked on torrents...we get almost any tv show movie, or animation we want.
The only thing we need to do now is get a 100Mb/s connection....seems we are behind the times. At one of my company classes my students told me that 10Mb/s internet connection is too slow.....
So..once we have upgraded.....SG-1..here we come!

Oh Mike I am not sure about those monthes....we have a wedding in India to attend, and be a part of!
How about early next year?

Shavonne here. I finally get to say something! Hi guys:) I'm glad all is well. Can't wait to see you guys and meet George and Yogita. Congratulations Yogita! I was so excited to get the news!:) I had a feeling it wouldn't be long since Mom said how passionate you were about having your Bible study. May Jehovah continue to bless you guys. Hugs and Kisses:)

I finally got internet in my new apartment and got my computer hooked up again. Thanks for the well wishes. It's good to read your site again. We should get together for Gamjatang (with George of course!) next time I come down that way.
