This just in: tonight I booked a ticket for my Mom to meet me this winter in Vietnam! I am having my dress made there (more info coming soon with details), and so we are going to spend 6 days having mother-daughter time in Ho Chi Minh City! I could not be more excited!
Last September I was fortunate enough to have my mom and aunt visit Matt and I for 2 weeks in Korea. It was my Mom's first time traveling abroad, and we had such a fantastic time! Here she is at Jogyesa Temple in Seoul.
While we were visiting Korea's subtropical island, Jeju-do, we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the famous female divers getting ready to go out for the morning. We quickly pulled a u-turn and pulled over, making our way down the slope to the water's rocky edge. The ladies were extremely friendly and even danced with us when they saw us dancing for some video footage! It was a great moment that I am so glad I got to share with my mom and aunt.
Now we have 8 months to gear up for my mom's next adventure: Vietnam and Thailand! She and I will spend the first half of her vacation in Vietnam, getting the dress altered and exploring Ho Chi Minh. Then we will fly to Bangkok, Thailand to meet up with Matt. the second half of our vacation will be spent soaking up the sun on Thailand's beaches!
I am so happy that my mom can make it to Vietnam to be there when I try on my dress. It's hard enough being away from home while planning your wedding, and one of the hardest parts is knowing you can't go for dress fittings with all of the important women in your life. I am so thankful that she can join me!!
Now how am I ever going to concentrate on my job with all of this trip planning?!?
Oh, to heck with it. Tomorrow is Sports Day anyways. It's all fun and games here half the time!
