I thought I would blog tonight, before things get too crazy again! I will probably send out my summer email to everyone in the next couple of weeks with some new pictures and more details. . .

First, I start my part-time teaching job at the university's English institutue next week, but classes don't start till the week after that. So excited!! Looking for great things to come out of this, and can't wait to graduate and leave my current job. Do not get me wrong I like working with the clients for the most part, but hate the company's politics and rules. The supervisor and I well, we don't get along much either. Don't do what I did, but I told her that we aren't friends, I am just her employee and will continue to do my best until I can say see ya later!

My mother has two more rounds of chemo, and she is doing okay. She had to get a shot three days in a row the week after the first round because her white blood cells were low. She took a job in the Orlando area and will be moving there at the beginning of August. I am a bit sad about this. . . but happy for her. It makes me all the more want to leave here after graduation and perhaps go Southeast for a while.

The tornado that went through Joplin that was something, wasn't it? It shocked us here and scared us especially since that storm was heading this direction for a while that night. I have not been there or seen it in person, but might later in June. . . but kind of don't want to because I'll be upset. Plus, not to mention that after that happened we were all on edge for like three days because of the possibility of tornadoes. We went to dinner with my mother one night, two day later, and we were the only ones in the restaurant and the TV was on with all the tornadoes in OK and Kansas coming right at us that night. No one was out and we kind of left there like, "well this could be it" but no one said it. It was just like text us if the tornado is coming and we'll just say hi. The storms all died that night after they crossed into our area, Thank God! But let me tell you we are going to take tornado sirens and warnings seriously now like everyone in Missouri will for at least the next couple of years!

Our daughter is doing well. . . she is getting so big and starting to talk more and more mainly Korean words. She goes everywhere and gets into everything if you don't stop her. Really exhausting and keeps us busy, but of course I love her so much. She is almost 2! That is unbelievable how fast the time went. . . still amazed at how much our lives have changed after having her. (Some really happy and exciting things. Other things still remember fondly like a distant dream that we could do at ease and places we could go without a big fuss before our baby. However, before we know it some of this shall pass too and we will have new challenges as parents.) That is a bit scary too!

After writing this, I realize how long my summer edition email is going to be. (maybe I should start typing soon.)

I feel the urge to blog after reading a couple of people's blogs that decided to blog after a long time of nothing. It makes me excited and feel like I can look forward to new blogs to fun and interesting things!


I haven't blogged in a while too. My beautiful daughter is growing so fast now. . . she is over 20 months old! Soon, she'll be 2 and in some ways that makes me feel a little sad that this time is going so very fast! She is keeping us very busy!


I am finished for the semester, but this summer I am going to be taking another part-time job teaching English to international students at my university's English institute. In the fall, my last semester, I'll be a GA and working full=time plus taking two classes! YEAH!
But, I am starting to see the light at the end of my tunnel of my life right now! :)


I am busy, but starting to feel more content in my life with everything! I don't know if content is the right word, but at a better place than even last summer.


My mom has beat breast cancer, she had a mastectomy. However, she has to take four rounds of chemo starting tomorrow. She took a new job in Florida, Orlando area and will start at the beginning of August. That is great! But it is far away!


Other than that, I will have fresh peas soon since my plants finally have flowers on them. I have one cabbage that is still doing well that I have hopes for, some flowers and tomato plants soon!
