2013

So 2013 has been a crazy time! haha! I haven't posted in awhile....I have since celebrated the new year and been to Thailand! Thailand was absolutely magical! I loved being in the warm environment. Also, because I have been in Korea for so long I didn't realize how different other Asian countries are! I plan on going back and traveling in Cambodia and Vietnam. I also would love to go back to the Islands. I liked inland Thailand but I fell in love with Phi Phi island! It was fantastic! I think I could live there for sure! I could run on the beach in the morning, eat fresh fruit everyday for less than a dollar, the weather was perfect and the people were so welcoming and fun! Needless to say I had the BEST vacation!! When I returned to Korea things got crazy again as i returned to work! Today marks the first day of my Spring vacation! I am very excited about it! I just attended my schools graduation ceremony! It is so interesting to see the differences in culture during ceremonies I have participated in at home! For instance we don't have middle school graduations where I am from but I am sure they have them somewhere....but at a normal middle school I don't think you would ever see middle school boys dancing to a pop song with the moves made up by their teachers....but they did and they had won at the school festival. :-) It was sweet....I guess it could be compared to a pep rally skit at one of our middle schools. I am kinda sad though because I loved these groups of 3rd graders. They are so stinking cute and sweet! It will be sad to be here without them!

On a different note mom and dad come to Korea in ONE WEEK!!! Next friday they will be in Korea! I can't believe it is finally here and it is actually happening!! What a great feeling! I am going to get my hair done on monday and at this hair salon there is a tanning bed....YES I am going to tan while i am there...I know it sounds dumb but there are a few things that I love and tanning is one of them! It makes me feel good about myself so I am going to do it! :-) haha! I have only made a few plans for when mom and dad are in town and I am coming up short on things to do while they are here! haha! I am thinking about going to daegu with them I think mom would like the shopping~~ I am going there on tuesday with Gayeon. Also, while mom and dad are here her family is taking us to eat at a restaurant near by my house! I am so excited for them to meet my parents! :-) One night too my girl friends are going to go to a wine bar and then to eat shabu shabu (spring rolls) with mom and dad so they can meet them! :-) This makes me really happy! There are a lot of good things going on right now and I am so happy that I can share my life with mom and dad!

Tomorrow I will start a no coffee week. I am challenging myself to only drink tea and water for a whole week! Let's hope I can stick with it! :-) I hope all of you are having a great week and I will blog from home this week and post pics from my trip! :-)
