A sweet friend gave Darin and I the gift of time together this afternoon. We found our way to the Seoul Flower market.
We unhurriedly walked up and down isles and isles of flowers and all sorts of breakable items, without a care in the world.
We purchased bundles of flowers.
We took in the scenery.
Then later on in the evening, after Darin took us out to dinner, he threw me an impromptu birthday party, a week early! He's going to be gone, and I think the guilt is plaguing him a bit, so he wanted to see the joy on my face when I opened
This...
And this...
Bon Voyage Darin. You are irreplaceable. Embrace the beauties, bounties, and smells of America for me, but please hurry back. Korea and I will be anxiously awaiting your return.

What a lovely day! I love the candles in the tub of ice cream. Are there actually 31 in there? What great taste Darin has in clothes--or did he perhaps have a little help? What a fun surprise.
I have yet to make it to the flower market, but your pictures have inspired me even more. How beautiful....I'll have to get there soon.
Wow that flower mart looks scrumptious! I'm so jealous. That was so nice of Darin to get you a super model for your birthday. Maybe you can share her clothes.
Wouldn't it be nice to have more days like that? The weather must be cooler in Korea than it is here in LA---it must be 95 outside today, and I started sweating a little just looking at you in jeans and a sweater---and I'm only half dressed right now! Hey, 8 months pregs and 95 in October---I walk around in my intimates more than I should these days! Happy bday!
What a great start to "birthday week"--didn't you do that when you were young? The whole week you get favors and passes just because your birthday is coming. Happy Birthday Week!
Yes, indeed we enjoyed a full week of birthday celebrations as kids. Usually because nothing was prepared in advance, our birthday week usually followed after the actual birthday day. This is birthday week Earnest style!
Sorry about it being so hot in LA Shannon. I remember being pregnant in Texas in October. I frequently found myself striped down to nothing, it was so hot.
The super model and I are at least sharing the yellow sweater, otherwise, we don't have much in common.
I think the flower market should earn another point for Korea. How beautiful. Happy Early Birthday, and I love both jackets.
Happy Birthday, Annee. 31 came pretty fast, didn't it?
What a beautiful day! Those flowers look amazing. Good luck while Darin is gone. I admire you so much for your strength. Hopefully, one day I can be a little more understanding and tough when Steve comes home at 10 or 11 or 3 AM!
Sounds like a great early birthday! I LOVE the flower market. How awesome! I hope you have a great Birthday!!!! So, are you thinking of the St George marathon this weekend?!? When's your Korean marathon?
Way to come thru Darin! What a great birthday celebration! I love how Korea has everything in mass amounts...
What a great day!! And the outfits are so cute!! Happy birthday week!
Happy Early Bday Annee!!!!! Love the early party and the things you got. I do miss you alot. Please lets get together soon.
Love,
Susan
