Headed Home

Well sometimes things do not work out the way you planned. I have learned that is ok and sometimes wonderful things happen when you least expect it. My time teaching in Korea is now over and am headed home. I will miss my Kinder Kids and my great friends-new and old In Korea but am so excited about heading home.
I can not wait to see my dear, nephew who does not know I am coming home and hopefully will be very surprised when I show up to the busstop on Friday.
I still very blessed to have had time in Korea and teach there-albeit brief. The three little girls I taught Kinder to will always have a very special place in my heart and I will always think fondly of them. We laughed,smiled,learned alot and had a blast doing it.
No words can ever express what it meant to recconect with my friend Trina. Friends are a true treasure and so glad I got to spend so much quality time with Trina the last few months.
To my new friend Maria-you are such an amazing person and friend and I feel honored to have met you and plan to see you again.
I met so many,nice, friendly,helpful people along the way on my journey of Korea including the very sweet,man who has climbed mountains all over the world-that I will always remember.
I will never forget those weeks in July where I only worked half days and then explored all over Daejeon and saw so much and during that time truely fell in love with the city of Daejeon,it:s culture,history,people and the country of Korea too.
I spent this last weekend enjoying the beauty of Daegu and Busan. Busan is a truely,beautiful,special, amazing place I hope I get to visit again someday.
I did not cry after hugging Trina at he bus to depart to airport or while the plane pulled away from Seoul but as I write this I am now fighting back the tears a bit.
Thank you Korea for a chance to learn more about another culture and for giving me some beautiful,memories that will last a lifetime.
TTFN
