I had a lovely time in Korea, yes, my adventure there has ended... back in summer of 2011. I've since moved back to Minnesota, got married, purchased a home and been generally busy.
I will forever love my time in Korea, the whole year abroad with language barriers, cultural barriers, and eye opening experiences! I am forever grateful in the new friends I've made, new extended family (I've met for the first time) and delicious food. I loved it, but I'm also happy to be home.
*I have waayyy too many pictures I wanted to post, but ze blog says no, as it has crashed a few times...* I digress.
My NEW plan is to update this baby more often with new-ish information on my life. As my cat will allow, since she is now trying to attempt to take over my technology while waiting for food impatiently...
A "Few" memories from Korea.

I wish I could share my ENTIRE photo album, but alas, ze blog says no. I had enough difficulty posting these few. Ugh, sometimes technology hates me.
So, there, I fast forwarded through my time in Korea. Next blog post will probably be another time warp, just not as extreme, maybe.... You'll have to wait and see.
Also, all of these photos were from Korea, duh, in different places, not just around Seoul, if you want to know more info please leave a comment, I just may response with a valid answer. :p
