Life is good

I have had a whirlwind month since being back in the States. I have been in 6 states, gone camping twice, been in a wedding, driven probably 4000 miles, and am finally at MY home in Colorado. I have loved being in familiar places with familiar people whom I love. Being away for a year definitely gave me a fresh perspective. I miss my friends and students in Korea, but in a funny way it really feels like the whole year was just a dream - or was just a few weeks away. As much as things have changed here, they have really stayed the same in so many more ways. I am excited to start my life again at home, and can't wait for new adventures. I am not sure what to do with the blog - I love writing, but not sure what to write about anymore. lol. We'll see. I do have some reflections on Korea I would like to add, then maybe it will be retired. One more chapter in life closed. :-)

Home again...sort of...

It is so strange to be back in the States.  I have been here for a week, and it has been a whirlwind.  In most ways, I feel like I was only gone for a long vacation - minus the fact that I did actually work.  :)  My flight back was perfect - I was even able to take the light rail to downtown Portland on my layover there.  I was in Boise, Id for my cousin,s wedding (and essentially a family reunion) from Wed. until Sunday, then drove to Missoula, Mt. with my sister and brother, and will be here until Thursday.  I am going to my parents in Columbus, Mt. for about a week, and then I will be meeting up with a good friend in Seattle for hiking and exploring.  Back to Missoula.  Back to Columbus.  Finally to Colorado in Augsut - assuming I don't find a job in Montana and decide to stay here. It is so beautiful here.  Every time I come to Montana I am reminded just how amazing it is.  Living near family would be nice too.  We will see what happens...life changes quickly!  Hope everyone is doing well!
