Welcome to our new Blog. As most of you know, we arrived in America on April 18 and I am sorry to take so long in starting this. We departed Vietnam with a temp. of around 100f and landed in Seattle with snow on the ground and a 37 degree temp. There was not much to take photo's of since everything was gray and pretty depressing. Uyen however, is adapting very well. She has a warm coat and boots to get around in. One of the first stops we made was to a local Asian grocery store to stock up on oll the needed staples like noodles, rice, chile's, squid, and other fishes. She has cooked a number of fantistic meals. I have cooked a few non-asian dinners like spaghetti and she took to that very well.
This blog is going to be a little different than the last one, because I hope to cater a little more of it to appeal to Uyen's family and friends in Vietnam. So, at times, you will see comments made by her in Vietnamese. I have enrolled her into the local community college for a exensive English course and while she comprehends the language pretty well, this will help alot. She loves to swim and I have set her up to join me at our local health club that we will visit about four times a week. I also plan to teach her to play golf, (see pics below).
My good friend, Bill Seeberger, recommended this grocery store.
