Things Change, things come and go...


Well, guess what!? Bet you never will... well, maybe you will if you've already received a mass email from me...
There have been a change in plans... last week Andrea injured herself in Hapkido (the martial art she has been studying for the last two years) and we're coming home earlier as she needs to have surgery :(
I've been really disappointed about not being able to go through with the travel plans for Cambodia and Thailand, but I just have to keep telling myself that it'll happen, just not now.
So our new arrival date is Octber 2nd at 11:10am at YVR... anyone feel like being on the welcoming committee? Hahaha!
Needless to say, I'm sad to be leaving Korea for many reasons, and scared to be coming home - it's easier to leave home than to come back it seems sometimes... but maybe I'll be surprised by what "home" has become while I've been away... I know so many people are very happy that I'm coming back early... I just gotta wait until I feel the same way.
It's wierd to think there's so much invovled in leaving after only being here one year... every weekend we're trying to see friends, do shopping for things that we will miss back home and for gifts, and figuring how much Korean booze we can sneak into our suitcases! (Hee hee! Don't worry, it's for sharing!)
The other day I remember that our parents have a hot tub and I have to say, it got me very excited about coming home! I bought a new bathing suit for our Thailand trip, and was bummed that I probably wouldn't be able to wear it for a long time, but then remembered the hot tub... wierd and small things make me happy.
Anyway, I'm off for a bit more shopping... the weather is TERRIBLE today. There's a category 2 hurricane somewhere over the island where Fukuwoka is (Japan) and here in Busan we are getting a little - well, it's more than a little - of the wind and rain... so shopping isn't too appealing, but when else am I going to do it?
Okay... see you all soon!
