2011 in Review

2011 passed so quickly. I think what people say about "time passing faster as you get older" is definitely true. How can it already be 2012? 2011 was an amazing year for the Browns. What an incredible experience we have to live overseas and experience wonderful things together. God is good. 
  Time passes So quickly it seems!

When I look back on 2011 I realize JUST how blessed we are. 2010 was a crazy year with planning a wedding, getting married, moving to Alabama and then moving to Korea. 2011 was more calm (thank goodness) but just as wonderful. 
   

 Photos can be so much better than words, so here is the "Brown Family recap: 2011"


In January we traveled to a traditional Korean Folk Village. This was something about how people used to be tortured in Korean communities for doing bad things. Josh enjoyed this too much-haha!

Loving Korea!


For Christmas Josh got me tickets to see Taylor Swift in Seoul. Here we are on the bus heading to the concert

There goes the key!

Heidi's Bachelorette Party

We traveled back to the USA in August to see Josh's sister, Heidi, get married. Such a great trip and a beautiful wedding. We feel so blessed that we were both able to be there and be a part of the bridal party.
