My "Gotcha" day!

I know everyone is wondering what a "Gotcha" day is but it's really simple, it's the day my parents got me. =)
April 9, 1987 I was brought to the United States to BWI airport from Pusan, Korea where my parents picked me up and took me home. My parents always thought this was a very special day so they made a holiday out of it. My older sister and I are both adopted so our "gotcha days" are like a 2nd birthday. We usually got one small present and dinner out. My younger sister was not adopted so she got a 2nd birthday.
Anyway, my gotcha day is coming up and my mom decided to give me my present early. Apparently, she reads my BLOG and saw how much I liked this one book, Traditional Korean Costume. (i had no idea she even knew i had a blog!) So, she surprised me with it tonight hoping it was in time for my historical research project. How nice was that?? Thank you Mom!

I read about the book on amazon and thought it would be a really good source of information but when I was flipping through the pages this evening, I found out that there's a lot more in it. There are a lot of photos and drawings! Some of the drawings really focus on the designs and details which is what I was hoping for in the hanbok book but it lacked pictures. What a nice surprise. Yay for books!
