I Thought This Day Would Never Come!!

WELL....The title bears repeating...but for your sake I won't....I of course wanted to be all cool and take pictures of our movers packing all our things up to be shipped to distant lands but of course it was put away somewhere safe where I couldn't remember where I put it (hey, at least I remembered to get it out so it wasn't getting packed!!) but sufficed to say it was a glorious day and Kyle acted wonderful and didn't get in the way, owed to a big thanks to our neighbor for helping out with that for some of the day as well...and then the "friend I shoud've met 3 1/2 years ago" showed up with dinner for us so we wouldn't have to eat the carpet since that was the only thing left in the house!! AND THEN someone decorated our door last night for the big Heart Day but ran away after ringing the doorbell so I don't know who it was. So I guess in closing of this particular post, it bears saying that though we've been here since the beginning of time it seems, the friends we have made are worth every long/hot (in the summer) cold/windy (in the winter) perfect/beautiful (Spring and Fall) day we've spent here in Korea!! We've still got another week before we actually ship ourselves out but just a wrapup in case I don't get around to coming up with anything brilliant before then!! ;)

Ruth, it somehow seems wrong that the Strommers are leaving Korea. I know you don't feel that way, and ultimately, I don't either. I guess it just makes me sentimental to think that all these people who have fallen in love with because of our assignment to Osan are also packing up, moving on, and falling in love with new friends and places, too. Miss you lots.
