Summer, and It's HOT! phew..

Hello All!

I have been sooooo bad with keeping up with the blog, and I'm so sorry!

We've been running around trying to keep busy every weekend and so I end up being to exhausted to make a new entry for the blog, and in the week I'm on my computer more than enough...

There has been so much going on here, and I waited so long to write about it, so most of the little details have slipped my memory already.

I'll let the pictures do most of the talking for this entry...

The first pictures are from Jill's birthday, us three girls from Ganghwa went into Seoul for a nice Thai Meal and some dancing

Jill and I:

Laura and I:

Jill and Laura are amazing girls, they have really been our best friends on our small secluded island. They're so fun to hang out with and Andrew and I felt so comfortable with them right off the bat.

The four of us get along so well, and having them in our lives here in Korea has been vital!

Next bit of news is LOLA! A teacher at one of my schools was trying to get rid of the puppies that her Dog had just given birth to. Dogs are treated really badly in Korea, and so Andrew and I decided to take one in and get it on its feet and find it a good solid permanent home..

Little Lola is a tiny puffball of cuteness. Andrew and I fell in love with her and have had a couple great weeks with her. She is actually going to her new owners tomorrow, and we're so sad to say goodbye to her, but we know she's going to a good home.

Here's some pictures of our adorable little pup:

And a pic of us, hey, why not!

A few weeks ago, Andrew went on a school trip with his students and co-workers to the old Capitol city of Korea. The exact name escapes me, but it's something along the lines of Gyong-Ju (?)

It was a bit tedious since he was stuck with pretty much NO english for 3 days straight, and had to sleep in a room full of snoring korean men, but he got a free trip out of it, and got to see some beautiful sights.

Here's a few pictures from the trip:

That's about it for the big events in the last few weeks. We've been super busy at school exhausted on the weekends.

Teaching here is very tiring and challenging, but we're trucking through and learning along the way.

Seoul, Incheon and Ganghwa have become completely familiar now. We can navigate our way through the cities, know the buses and subways. That helps us a lot in our day to day life. 

On the weekends we try to get out of the isolated countryside of the Island and we go into Seoul or Incheon and get a hit of the city and familiar western things. (I LOVE my weekend starbucks in Seoul!)

Andrew and I feel SO BLESSED to have each other for this journey. We truly are best friends and a support system for each other. Bad days happen at our schools, and we always know we have the other person to come home to. We listen to each other's struggles and give each other advice on a daily basis, and it makes everything so much easier.

We couldn't do it without each other! We honestly say that to each other everyday.

Missing home like crazy... Can't believe we've already been here 4 months!

Love you all tons
