My beloved childhood friend, Lauren (above with her boyfriend, Han Joo during their last visit) now lives in Korea. She makes up 1/4 of "The Order of the 4", half are here (myself and Meghan), and the remaining 1/4 (Lauren's twin sister, Kristin) is in Delaware. Last week a package arrived from Korea for "The Order" and the Walker family members. There were detailed instructions for us to all open the gifts together, so yesterday we met Lauren and Kristin's mom, dad and brother to divide the loot.
The box was covered in bright Korean letters. This built suspense since none of us could read what it said. I got the whole gift opening process on video on my iPhone, but I'm having trouble uploading it to anything because it is so large. Most of you would find this video boring and borderline strange anyway, so I'll spare you. I'll have to resort to burning the video to a DVD and mailing it to you Lauren. I know it will make you smile!
Lauren- We loved our gifts. (Mostly because they came from you.) I loved seeing your handwriting on the letter, and hearing your familiar jokes. I loved being with your family and Meghan, because it made me feel like you're not so far away. I love knowing that on the other side of the world you're thinking of us, and you're still our same ole Reem. Miss you kid. Come visit us soon.
P.S. Send more "Calorie Balance" (they taste like lemon cookies). In the words of Han Joo when first experiencing the greatness of Sonic, "I love it!"
