April Update

Hello all! So since we have been slacking on the blog lately I thought it was about time for a quick update. Spring is finally here and the sunshine is a welcome change! The days are brighter, the flowers are springing up, and Ulsan is filled with blossoming cherry trees. We now only have three months left and we have narrowed down our choices as to what we will do next year. We miss our families terribly but are thinking that one more year here would be the wisest decision financially. So, when we finish here we will spend two weeks in Europe, head home for a few months, and then turn back around to find another job here. We find comfort in the fact that we know our way around, we know some great people here, and we know a little of the language. This is not set in stone but it is a decision that we become more comfortable with every day. (Aside from missing you all- that we will never be okay with!!!)

Our time this spring has been well spent and busy! We are trying to fit in as much as we can before our time here is up. This weekend we went to a nearby town called Gyeongju where the cherry blossoms are amazing. We went on Friday night and they have rows upon rows of trees around a lake with the blossoms all lit up. It was right out of a fairy tale!





Then Saturday we went to our friend Aie's birthday party where we met up with many of our Korean friends and had some delicious Thai food. Later that night we took a train to Busan and headed to a bar with a live band where we danced like morons for hours. Sunday was spent lounging on Hyundai beach enjoying the sun.

It was a wonderful weekend and a welcome change from the many lazy gray weekends that preceded it.

So the sun is out, decisions have been made, and we will get to see you all soon. Things are looking up for this crazy couple!!! God we miss you!!
