A Long Overdue Update

Hello family and friends,

I'm sure most of you have no idea of what's happening in my life since I have been so busy recently. Sorry! But it has sure made life exciting. :) Here is a quick (I hope) overview of what I've been up to the last month:


- Attended a fancy TCIS fundraising event, The Crystal Gala. I had never been to anything like that before, but it was a lot of fun to get all dressed up and eat good food!
- Saw Cirque du Soleil Varekai in Seoul. What a great show!
- My friend Annette has been giving me Korean lessons, and I finally feel like I'm improving. 

- The return of Waffle Fest! A family at TCIS makes a waffle dinner for all the single teachers. Jennifer, the hostess, just had a baby so there had been a waffle fest hiatus...but it's back!
- Spent an incredible weekend at Daecheon Beach in a cabin with 9 other friends. Even though it was cold and rainy, we had a blast!

- All MS field trip to the Korea War Memorial complete with a crazy bus ride to end the day. Our driver hit a cement truck! Don't worry, everyone was ok.
- Watched the high school musical 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. The students did such a great job...I was laughing out loud through most of the play!
- Visited and toured the new TCIS campus. It is a bit behind schedule but still looks great. It is going to be so nice to have a big gym and a weight room and my own classroom!!! I just hope it's done by the first day of school in August!
- The weather has finally been warmer, so I went on a beautiful Easter morning bike ride to the lake.
- Swim meets at YISS, KIS, and KAIAC at SFS (whoa...that's a lot of acronyms...and a lot of trips to Seoul :P). The season just finished today. Last night we stayed at SFS and had some good team bonding. Check out pics from the weekend here!

Here are some other pics that have been added from random things this spring. I still need to update it with more pics, but now that swimming is over, I'm hoping to have a bit more free time. :) However, the end of the year always goes so fast. We have I-Fest this weekend; I'm going to see an extreme martial arts show called Jump Friday; Anna, Deb, and I are heading to Seoul Tuesday to get immunizations before leaving for Africa in just over a month; and MS Retreat, graduation, and all the other end of year activities will be here before I know it. What a crazy, but awesome spring!
