Reunion with the Gees!

The final stop on our long road trip to Alabama was at the home of our close friends Derick and Lisa Gee who live in Western Missouri. They lived across the street from us in Misawa for the first couple years and joined us on our epic New Zealand vacation. So seeing them again was a bit like coming home after a long separation. =^) We did not go out and do a whole lot during our weekend stay. Instead we focused on catching up, eating Lisa's amazing food, playing games, and touring their amazing property.

They found a cabin on the border of a small state park with three acres that have allowed Lisa to live out several of her domestic dreams. She's kind of a hippie at heart and has LOVED finding ways to expand their natural, environmental-friendly lifestyle. She's built several raised flower beds in which she can also grow her own veggies and herbs. She built a chicken coup for their hens so they have fresh eggs every morning. While we were there she was building a bee hive so they will have fresh honey this summer. They also plan to buy a whole bunch more meat chickens this summer. I would not be surprised if they get a goat too...

Their new home has given their two fur babies plenty of room to run and roam as well.

Quite possibly my favorite part of the visit - Lisa speaking my love language and baking me cookies!!! YUM!

 



I'm so glad we were able to meet up during our time in the States. Hopefully Lisa will come visit Korea sometime next year so we can enjoy some more adventures in Asia! Till then, it's good to know that they are both doing very well. Love our friends!
