A Year and Some Change

December 13th marks our 1-year anniversary of being in Korea.  I can't believe it's already been one whole year!  It's pretty bitter-sweet.  We've met some amazing and interesting people and have seen some pretty neat things.  But, I think it's the right decision to move on.

As the days until our departure draw near, the realization that we are leaving has started to hit home.  Last week, we got letters in the mail that I'm sure everyone gets as their visas get closer to expiring.

Ok, Korea - we get it!  :)

Though we are leaving Korea, it is not the end of our journey.  Our last day of teaching is December 15th and we fly back to the States December 17th.  Then, at the beginning of February (no specific date yet), we will be off again.  This time we are heading to Beijing, China to again teach English.

So, in light of these changes, I decided that my blog needed to change a bit too.  First of all, you might have noticed the title change of my blog.  I picked this title for two reasons:

1.  Though thousands of people have lived and taught in a foreign country, it is definitely not the norm; and
2.  The quote comes from Robert Frost: "Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by."  I know my fellow Woodsies (girls who attended Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College http://www.smwc.edu/)  out there understand exactly what I'm talking about.  This was pretty much our school's moto.

Second, I changed the background for no other reason than because I was bored with the old one.

The last change is going to come from me.  I hope to start posting more frequently.  And, I hope to start doing some video blogs.

I am so thankful to those of you reading my blog!  If you aren't already a follower, please scroll to the top of this page and under the heading "Followers", please click "Join this site".
