Down Time.

We made it to Florida, which means we managed to pack up our house, quit our jobs, get Dan the right background check with attached Apostille, and drop off our dog. So now we are just sitting around at my parents' house waiting to hear about our VISAs. Dan is playing some racing game on my brother's ridiculous TV, and I am watching some Netflix, because I am so smart and I changed the address on our account for the next two weeks.

I have old pictures. I am going to dump them here. You will like it.




These are my silver kicks with Koala laces. Pretty cool. I made my mom buy these shoes when I was in high school, because she hated them, and I am a shock jock. I wore them to the last birthday get together with Dan's family.


Dan's cousin Allison with baby Ella. They had matching socks.


Dan's cousin Luke with baby Annie (not to be confused with grown Annie who has a baby of her own).


Ella working it out with the toys and stuff.


Dan's uncle Dave with baby Abe.


Good luck cake from Dan's mom.




Baby Annie handling dessert.


Abraham's goodbyes.


Secure.


Abraham and Annie.


Last dinner date. We went to Riverside Korean Restaurant for practice with Lacy and Justin.


Our banchan. Tasty things like seafood salad, Kimchi, pickled radish, dry radish, spinach salad, and pears.


Lacy's Bibimbap with egg mixed in at the table. Fancy.


Dan ate squid.


I ate beef in a cow skillet. Bulgogi. Yum.



Dinner friends.


Pretty much this was the week of Lacy and Justin. We had Korean dinner with them and then they came with us to Columbus on our second attempt at procuring a properly Apostilled background check.


Per Lacy's request, we photographed each other photgraphing each other.


Some building.


We went to Cuppy's Coffee serving Impero roasted coffee. I feel somewhat traiterous to Coffee Emporium admitting that Cuppy's/Impero provided me my most favored iced American with hazelnut to date. But Coffee Emporium's was my first, so I will never forget it.


Streets of Columbus. Have I said here how I really like that Columbus?


So, this is at Dirty Frank's. It is Hall & Oates, and they are being creeps. Dan wanted me to take a picture.


Deciding.


Reviewing.


Pictures in the hallway before our dogs came out.


Dan is way better at looking off in the distance than I am. I always look too far, I think.



Trying to take pictures in this mirror.


Being bad at it.


Dan's hot dog and tater totchos.


Fancy Red Bull tab.


I went to see Bonnie one last time. The drive was miserable! No one would go the speed limit, and then I got stuck behind this hay bale guy.


Snowscape.


Skyscape.


Bonnie took me to Concannon's Pastry Shop, and I didn't get a good picture because I got nervous. Anyhow, they have peanut butter cream doughnuts. It is the only doughnut you will ever need to eat again.


And I would eat it again right now.


We drove to Illinois to eat at Yoder's Kitchen, and it was worth the drive.


And here's the last of the lasts. Our last visit with baby Abraham.


Sometimes crying.


Sometimes balling.


Tater wanting to know who was making all the fuss.



Having been pacified.


Sleepy.


Baby hand signs.


This is my dog.


We can't hang out for a while. It's lame.


I lied. This is the last of the lasts. Final Scattergories SMACKDOWN tally. Dan and Lacy were great contenders. I just straight up lost to everyone.

Cool. So now we are just waiting to get over to Korea. Pretty crazy, you guys.
