Merry Christmas!

To get you in the mood, here is a classic video. Hope you enjoy. Also, I posted a bunch of new pictures on my Picasa web albums(link always on the right of this page). Check em out!

My family is moving this week, so its gonna be a little hectic. We happen to just be moving down the street, but its still a hassle. I am finding myself busier these days, which is definitely better for my psyche. I tend to get a little down when I am not occupied. I'm getting all my paperwork together for South Korea and getting more excited about it as the days go on.

This Christmas, I am trying to step back and realize the significance of all my family members being in the same place at the same time. I don't know if this is unusual for most people, but it did not happen for us last year and it won't happen next year, and you never really know what life situations will lessen the possibility of it happening for a long time! So if you are with your family and loved ones this Christmas, remember to cherish the moments :) Merry Christmas!!

What's next

I guess its finally time to inform my readers(or lackthereof) of my plans for this upcoming year. I have decided, after much boredom living at home, to continue with my traveling/living abroad. This time South Korea is lucky enough to host me. In the past several years I have heard many good things about South Korea and met some interesting people who are either from there or have worked there. I recently signed on with a school near Seoul and if all the Visa stuff goes smoothly, I plan on leaving at the end of February. The greatest part about working in South Korea is that the school will pay for my flight and for my apartment there. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

As always, starting a new chapter in life is a little scary. I won't have a friend by my side the entire time to lessen the blow of culture shock, which will be quite the change. I am excited though. I have sincerely missed teaching since I have been back, and look forward to all those adorable little Asian faces I will be teaching.

So there you have it, just when you thought you had me here for good. I hope to continue blogging, as I hope you will continue reading!
