Be Our Guest

The title is in honor of my sister Sierra, who has recently acquired the leading role of Belle in "Beauty and the Beast" at their local theater(Star Theater, Oceanside, CA). My father will be playing the part of Belle's Father, so with an awesome father/daughter combo this will definitely be a show to remember! In fact, it will probably even top one of my favorite family combos, with my role as "Captain Hook" while my sister Lani played "Peter Pan" and we got to duke it out during the final scene, letting all the natural sibling rivalry pour out on stage! Congratulations Sierra, you have talent beyond measure and belong among the stars! Dave says when you are on Broadway, we will come watch you, no questions asked about the cost! And now for the main event:

I would like to invite you to "Be Our Guest!"

By request, (It took a little while, sorry Mons) I am taking you on a tour of our apartment today! I will be giving you a very specific walking tour, so if you pay attention to the captions be prepared to do a little brainwork! Feel free to just browse the pictures if the tour is becoming too intense!



Our Front Door, located on the second floor of our building, along with four other apartments.

Open the door and take a look at our apartment:

Please take your shoes off, as is custom in Korea, and come inside. Look to the left and admire our quaint little kitchen. No, there are no hidden appliances, just a sweet little burner for all your cooking needs.Now look behind you at our dining table/business center. Behind my handsome husband, you can see our door to the Laundry facilities which will be shown later in the tour. Say "hi" to Dave and then please face forward again.Now, advance down the hallway and toward our lovely bathroom door. (Yes, those are our toiletries hanging on the wall, a creative solution to the leftover nails in the wall)
Oh, what is that? You like the wallpaper. Well, please take a closer look.Now enter through the door in the previous picture to view our bathing and toilet facilities. Wait, please put on the bathroom shoes located at the door. Thank you. As you can see, the shower head is connected to the sink. The entire floor is tile and leads to the drain. No worries about splashing or shower curtains. Please beware while washing your hands to make sure the knob is turned to sink, rather than shower, or you may experience a slight dousing of water (and I speak from experience). Now, please remove your shoes and exit toward your right. Featured here is the spare bedroom, home of our clothing, all other possesions and television. You see the window at the back of the room. Outside is our laundry facilities. Take a sneak peak. A washer and a clothesline for all your laundering needs. Now observe the spare bedroom from the laundry room for a different perspective. You can now see our Television, dresser, and wardrobe. At the back of the picture you see another door. Please walk forward and enter for a look at the Master Bedroom.Originally, this was our sleeping situation...However, after a few weeks of enduring Lucy crawling from her bed over me and into the middle and then somehow wiggling completely perpendicular to us all in the one bed, we uprgraded and purchased another bed. Where is the baby bed...underneath the covers for some extra padding (as you may have noticed the padding is only 1 inch think, so every blanket counts!). A complete picture, with a sleeping princess and all. It is actually quite a large bedroom, especially considering it is completely empty other than our beds (we wanted it that way so it would be completely babyproof).

This concludes your tour of the Pendergrass home. We hope this inspired you to come and visit us soon! Please, if you are ever in the area, feel free to stop by, stay a while and most importantly "be our guest!"
