PERSEVERE
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

Hello All!!! It has been so long since I have written…please accept my apologies. I have been super productive and trying not to count down every day before I visit Houston…lol. There has been so many things I have meant to write and thing I may have forgotten a lot if it now 
But, I will try to remember certain things.
Last month, on a Sunday I was walking back to my apartment and saw an off white beetle bug (car) and it was all decorated (the folks were just married) and they had their long caravan going. Then, I realize the groom is in his boxers at the end of a rope tied to the car. You couldn’t help but laugh. Then, I forget I need something from a store and walk back only to realize the car has made its way to a main walkway. And, the bride and groom are standing on these posts and (I believe) he is professing his love for her amongst many strangers taking pictures and cheering them on…I hate that I did not have my camera. It was cute!!!
I really love the people I work with more and more everyday and feel blessed especially when I hear t complaints of some other teachers. Everyday has definitely not been easy and there were days I was ready to call my mama and say “I’ll be home in 21 hours!” But, it is something about trusting God, listening to God, staying focused, and perseverance!!! I would have regretted giving up. I have (and still am) learning so much about life and myself. Yeah, I still have a ways to go but THANK GOD I am not where I use to be.
Last weekend, Minji, her boyfriend, little brother, and sister went to Insadong. They helped me find some gifts to bring back home. There was so much so I didn’t buy much because I didn’t want to waste money. I came home made a list of exactly what I needed and for who and will go back this weekend. Insadong was really nice…like a huge market place and wayyyy too many people…lol.
I am still in the process of seeking God about these next steps in my life. Can’t remember if I wrote about this previously but I am deciding whether to complete the CELTA program in Spain in October then going out to work in the Middle East for a couple years. I have some options right now and exploring them all but definitely leaning towards the CELTA in Spain. Also, my school has started asking me to extend and they really want an answer soon but at the latest before our summer vacation ends. I was like…I have so much time to think about it but uhhhhhhhh May 27th is about less than 10 days away and once I come back from the states we will be going into the middle of June. What does this mean? At this point I will have four months left until my contract ends….ahhhhhhhh…has it been that long already?
Oh yeah, Kathryn will be visiting me July 20-28th. MY FIRST VISITOR…WHOOOO-HOOOO!!! I am so excited. I have to find a whole list of things for us to do. We are going to hit up at least one of the beaches more than likely Jeju Island. Also, Ashley will be here sometime in June and we are going to Mudfest and all the beaches. I am super excited to see these ladies soon. I am going to end my contract with a BANG!!!
I am trying to relax and not get TOO excited about the fact that I am less than ten days away from U.S. soil. I can’t wait to see my family and friends. I can’t wait to make the most of every day there. I can’t wait to watch a movie…I really would like to see Just Wright. And, I can’t wait to have some fajitas. I can’t wait to watch American major league sports and have a girls’ night with my mom and sis. And, I can’t wait to hold my KITTY CATS!!!
Well, it’s about that time to head to bed….I am praying this week goes by fast. I have to get my hair did…lol via Jessica and get the rest of my gifts. WE ARE OFF FRIDAY….YEAAAA!!! By the time next weekend is over….I WILL HAVE ONLY FEW DAYS BEFORE I BOARD THE PLANE TO TOKYO THEN TO HOUSTON!!!
I will upload a few pics soon…for all the pics you can check out my FB (Facebook page). AND, I have been disciplined in my working out for almost two months now. Last week I started a running planning. I will start the second week tomorrow morning….3 minutes running/3 minutes walking. I am taking my focus off of losing weight and putting it on being healthy and learning to commit to something. So pray for me. I definitely feel better and healthier. Love ya and wishing you all the best.
P.S. I am starting a new blog focusing more on all the changes taking place in each area of my life. It’ll be great!!!
