anniversary

William is finally back from the field again. He got back just in time to celebrate our first anniversary yesterday! We celebrated by going shopping and eating dinner at a Thai restaurant. Each time we eat out now we go to Thai restaurants because we like the food so much better. I found an Indian restaurant that we'll hopefully try soon too.

This is the result of our shopping. For the first time in my life I own high heels! They're surprisingly comfortable and not hard to walk in. Korean women older than school age and younger than senior citizens tend to wear high heels just about everywhere, so there are hundreds of styles to choose from. I personally think it's too cold to wear them right now, but I also don't walk around in skirts and tights when its only twenty degrees outside. I frequently see men, women, and children who have on no hats, no gloves, and often not even winter coats. It's no colder here than at home, but it's still cold enough for all of those things! I usually look like Nanook of the North by comparison and I'm still cold, but I'm excited to try out my shoes when it warms up again.

These are the custom-made shoes that William ordered a few weeks back. Next he's getting a navy blue pin-stripe three-piece suit and a topcoat. Hopefully he'll have somewhere to wear them once he's out of the Army.
