date night.

ryan surprised me with a secret date night.  all he said was, "i'm wearing a tie."  for him to wear a tie is a big deal, so i knew it was going to be something great.  i dressed up in heels and a dress, because he told me we would barely be walking.  to my surprise we probably walked a mile to get from the subway to the sky tram that took us up to the restaurant at north seoul tower.  needless-to-say, i had blisters on my feet.

the blisters were worth it though.  this restaurant was amazing.  it slowly spins around so that while eating, one can see the entire panoramic view of the city.  it makes a full circle in 50 minutes.

our meal was 7 courses of beautiful and delicious healthy food.  we spent the evening talking about how blessed we are to be living in south korea, traveling around southeast asia, having jobs that we enjoy and getting to hang out with each other every day.

three hours later we went to the outside patio on the first floor.  there are 7 pin trees that are positioned overlooking the city.  on each tree are thousands of locks.  couples write their names or a little note to each other and lock it onto the tree.  while we were looking at the trees, ryan pulled a lock out of his pocket with a marker.  so we wrote our initials and our anniversary date on the lock and placed it on the last tree.  ours is the blue lock.
