48 hours...

less than 48 hours till takeoff.

in some ways, i feel like i've been here forever. in some ways, i feel like i got here last week.

i am really behind in updating and i honestly can't do justice to all that has happened in this last month.

one week in barcelona and andorra, breathing in the fresh mountain air, getting outside everyday (SUCH a refreshing change to always working!), and taking time to actually breathe. i loved getting into kelsey's life this past year and meeting the people she's lived with and hung out with.

three weeks in cheungcheon teaching summer camp. back to the humidity! but at least there are mountains, trees, and cute little korean farmers tending their fields in the evening. the students were great. it was exhausting. after spending a year with the same students, it was hard to turn around and invest in a whole new group of students. after the initial get-to-know-you phase, however, it was easy to want to spend time with them. many new friends!

my class for three weeks...


the next adventure is going home. i know it will be different...i know i am different. i am excited, but it will be really hard to leave at the same time.

i have a whirlwind of packing and saying goodbye to do, so i hope this short update will console you until i see you again in person and our joy is made complete!

seattle, 9:20 am, august 24th...it's a date!
