Rasmania 101: Some birthdays, a play, and a business trip, etc.

Daniel turned 35 on Tuesday. and Jieun invited Roy and I over to dinner to celebrate. Jieun cooked a delicious Korean dinner complete with spicy pork and tofu. It was excellent. I really loved Dan's birthday cake. It was a chocolate Korean roll cake! Dan is allergic to dairy, and it definitely had dairy in it, but he had some anyway. Hopefully he didn't have to pay too big a price for that indulgence.
Roy had another business trip this week. He had to be in Ashville, NC by 1:00 on Thursday. We have had plans for 6 or 8 months to go to The Scarlet Pimpernel at the Hale Center Theater with our financial adviser and his wife on Wednesday evening. To work all this out, Roy planned a red eye flight--leaving the Salt Lake airport at 12:30 am Thursday morning. So, after enjoying the play, we had the Doxeys drop Roy off at the airport. I think he got maybe 3 hours of sleep on the plane. It was worth it for me, and I hope he felt it was worth it, too. I did feel sorry for him as I enjoyed 7 hours of sleep in my own bed.
Caitlyn was down on Thursday/Friday for her Fall break from school. I enjoyed spending time with her.. I also spent a couple of hours with Gunnar on Thursday, giving Adrienne a short break from all 3 of her boys on Fall break. I taught Gunnar a few things about my sewing machine and he figured out how to make a small bag. He loves things that challenge his mind.
Friday was Doyeon's birthday. I picked her up and let her pick out her present. She was pretty determined to get a toy, even though I had several other suggestions. She picked out a toy parakeet--the best type of pet. Even though she was largely uninterested, I also bought her a skirt and top. I offered for her to stay with me for a couple of other errands, but she was anxious to show her siblings her present and wanted to go right home.

At Dan's birthday dinner Dojin was showing off:

I was worried he'd get hurt, but he's pretty tough.
