Yikes!!!!!

Well, the big day is almost upon us. In less than 10 hours we will begin our journey. Am I ready? No, not really. I have spent most of the day tying up loose ends, doing last minute laundry, and generally trying to keep what little sanity I have left. Needless to say, it isn't a pretty sight.

*SIGH*

Who knows what awaits us when we get there. I sure don't, but all in all, I am very excited. Throw in some nervousness for reality sake and you've got the idea.

I think saying goodbye to all our friends and family is just too sad, so instead of goodbye I will say see you in a year. And, if any of you find yourselves our way, please stop in!

Next post will be from our new home in Korea.

Love to all!

THE JOURNEY BEGINS

Hello family, friends, and well-wishers! This here is our blog of our journey and adventure to the land of the morning calm. Here I hope to keep an update of our experiences, travels, and trials of living life in a new country.

For all of you who do not yet know our upcoming travel plans...the family (minus the cat) will be moving to Seoul, South Korea for a year. David will be teaching/researching at Yonsei University while the kids and I try to navigate everyday life.

We are 12 days out to our departure time and the family is starting to get ready. Yes, I did say start. Packing begins and the kids are ready. Ruthie has been asking if we need to pack since the beginning of July.

So, I have finally purchased all the suitcases needed. Hard to believe that I'm going to have to fit a year of our lives into these things. Could you do it? I'm not so sure I can.

Look who thinks she is going!

Maybe if she ducks down low enough, no one will notice her. Sneaky!

I hope to keep in touch with everyone while we are there and will post regularly.

ANYONG!

(Goodbye in Korean)
