whelp...

I'm back in the ROK after a week in the U.S.A.

It was fun to be home!  I loved seeing my family and everyone looked so so so different!
I'm going to add some pics here a minute of the b-day parties and random ones that I can find.

Our school went to the Gyeonggi English Village in Paju.  It was interesting adventure especially with the youngest of our kids!  They are so funny and just want to run around!  Their energy was spent wisely!  hahaha!!  We saw a few musicals and got to walk around and have some fun with them.  This weekend, I hung out with some friends and had fun being back in Seoul.  I definitely missed being able to get out and about!  The Fall weather is settling in too.  It's actually coming quicker than I anticipated.  I didn't think I'd need to start using my heater so quickly!  But I guess that's okay!  hehe!  My cats are doing well and Uyu is starting to ask to go under the covers like old times... silly cat.  hahaha!

well I dont have much of an update but I'll try to do something exciting soon!!  ^^

1 year!

So LAST Thursday was my 1 year in Korea!  WOOT!  Now I can say I've been here for a year!  I plan to stay so much longer but it's nice not to be so new!  ^^  I had dinner with my friend/coworker and her friend as a mini-celebration!  hehe!!

I haven't done too much lately, just working and saving money!

The week before I went with my kindergarten to a traffic center to teach the kids about traffic safety... which is great since my accident... haha!

BUT last weekend I went to the Coex Aquarium and had a great time!  Hopefully I can upload pictures soon... once I sift through them all!

Then Last Friday, Kelsey and I went out for dinner in Nowon and hoped to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, but unfortunately it was sold out... I guess next time... hopefully!

This week, I've only had to work 2 days 2 classes each on Monday and Wednesday... So yesterday I had off.  I met up with Kelsey and another friend in Itaewon to do some shopping and eat at Gecko's in Itaewon... so yummy!!  Then headed out to Myeongdong for more shopping.  I hadn't been to Itaewon and Myeongdong since before my accident in February so it was definitely interesting to see these places again.  I, also, randomly fell upon a noraebang that I've been looking for since arriving.  It's called Every Sing by SM Entertainment and it's supposed to be pretty awesome!  I found it in Myeongdong, so I hope to be able to go there soon!  After shopping, we got a drink at a random bar that was opened at 6 in the afternoon, then all headed home.

Today, I had work and just rested for the day.  Tomorrow, I'm heading out to a swimming pool at Ttukseom with a friend.  I'm so excited!  I havent been to a swimming since first arriving in Korea.  I'll be sure to take pics!  I dont really have any plans for the week but rest and not spend much money!  On Friday, I may go with Kelsey to a free park with a lot of awesome things in Ilsan!

And then in August, we have scheduled to go to a concert... SMTown 2010 concert that will include: SuperJunior, SNSD (Girl's Generation), and Shinee!  I'm so excited!!!!

and i found out this week that I won't go home in December after all (tickets are super expensive!)... but I will go home a lot earlier!  I'll be going home in September around Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving-type holiday) and around my birthday!  I'm excited and can't wait to make it real by buying tickets!  ^^

Can't wait to add pictures soon!!  Sorry I'm so boring lately but hopefully soon I can have more exciting posts!!  Parks, Pools, Noraebangs, Concerts, etc!!
