I found it!

I was going through my little wallet where I keep all my gift cards the other day. I was pretty sure I would find it and sure enough, I did. 

It was this! Any guesses what it might be?

Here are 3 hints:

1. I bought it the last time I was in Seoul.

2. I'm going to bring it with me on this trip.

3. I'm going to try to see if it still works.

Read a future post to hear the answer!

In other news, our countdown is down to single digits. Please follow the blog if you want to read about our adventures. I hope to take lots of pictures! Well, let's be real. I hardly ever take pictures. I'll ask Jordan to share all of his pictures with me. He is the real photographer in the family!

Plans are Taking Shape

 Departure day is quickly approaching! Less than 3 months away which sounds unbelievably soon. Spring sports have also begun, so life is moving at warp speed. My calendar is quickly filling up with cross country meets, golf matches, and drivers ed. June will be here before we know it! We still have no solid reservations other than our plane tickets. We need to get on that soon! It's overwhelming looking through all the different neighborhoods of Seoul. I want to stay in Insa-dong. I've heard the best things about it, it appears close to things, closer to public transportation, etc. However, the apartments there are more expensive. There's always a give and take. But we now have agreed on a broad vision of our trip. We will land in Seoul and stay there for a good 10-12 days. That will give us time to acclimate to the time zone and leave us with plenty of days to explore all the city has to offer. After that we will take the bullet train to Gwangju City (Luke's birth city...

We've arrived

 I'm writing this at 6:30 a.m. in Korea. The windows in our apartment are large and the sun is streaming through them. I read that one way to try to combat jet lag is to expose your body to as much daylight as you can. So while I would typically be starting preparations for dinner if I was at home, today I'm trying to soak up the morning sun reminding my body that it is morning now, not evening. Yesterday we left home at 6:30 a.m. and drove to my parents' house. (Or was it yesterday? Today is Wednesday in Korea and we left on a Monday. I'm all confused). They were kind enough to drive us to the airport so we didn't have to leave our van parked for three weeks. We left early in case of traffic, but had a surprisingly smooth drive and made it to O'Hare in only 3 hours. Check in was smooth, security was LONG, but we made it to our gate with plenty of time to spare. The boys and I savored our last American fast food meal for awhile and then before we knew it, we wer...

Time to Plan

 Last night I had dinner with two dear friends. "Tell us about your trip to Korea! Where are you staying?" they asked. They looked at me incredulously when I said that I hadn't reserved anything yet. They stole glances at each other and responded, "Don't you think you should get on that?" I've been on this planet for over 4 decades and still can't figure out if I should be described as a planner or as spontaneous. I'm a planner in certain spaces of my life. I always plan what I'm going to teach each day. I've taught for 26 years yet I never completely wing it. There is always a fairly detailed plan. Every Saturday I sit down with my spiral notebook and plan meals for the week. I always have a plan for Saturday mornings- laundry, clean, groceries. Every single Saturday. If I have to play the piano in church, you better believe I plan. I practice a lot.  But there is also a part of me that just doesn't really plan. This spring we went t...
