Happiness and sadness run parallel to each other. When one takes a rest, the other one tends to take up the slack. welcome to my life

KOREA let it begin

Well we made it! We are here in Korea and i must day i like it pretty well. The first day we got here we were met by a lady in our ward named Kim Adams and her baby Johnathan who gave us a ride to our hotel. Then we stayed at the TLF for a couple days while touring the BX and going bowling with almost half the ward and almost all the youth hahah there was like 15 of us.

After my parents decided on a house we moved in right away, at first all we had was air mattresses. Now after like a week we have a refrigerator, computer, hot water, air conditioning, dishes washer and dryer, toaster, and microwave. We are still waiting on the shipment with the beds and couch and TVs and the big things. Oh i wish i had my bed but i will live without it for a couple more weeks.

School, school is good. At first i was overwhelmed and worried that i would fail or that i wouldn't have any friends but i have gone there for three whole days! and i already have a couple friends and i like it well enough. Also, this is a big deal, i am trying out for cheer leading, yeah you heard me a semi-sport i Rachel Ives am trying out for. haha Jacob is on the football team and is going to do basketball so i will get to cheer for him. All this started because one of my new friends forced/convinced me to and i guess it might help me be a more well rounded student if i am a part of a team effort and yesterday was my first practice, everyone else is 3rd, and it was actually fun. there is no dance classes here for my age so this is a robotic stiff version of dance and i like it.

Rebecca and i are the 3rd and 4th young women to the ward and the other two are sisters as well. Every one else in the ward seems very nice even if we all fit in a room the size of our old relief society room.

All in all Korea is going well. :) I miss everyone from Arizona though.

Gone By

Wow how this past year has gone, my last year in arizona, my last year with all my friends who i have come to love and enjoy being with. This was my last year with our ward full of women and families together who have been by my family and my side for the past five years. I am sad to be leaving all of you here in Arizona but excited for what new adventures wait for me in South Korea and after there Europe.

Living here has gained me many more friends than i could have hoped for when i got her and i am glad to have met everyone of them even if we have gone our separate ways now. I have been made a better person and hopefully will keep growing.

In Korea is my father and in Utah is my older brother Jacob, so all us girls and Ammon are going to California this week while everyone here starts school. Thinking about school i have mixed feelings just like i do about moving. Sad not to be going but excited at the same time.

Glad to be blogging again and hopefully i will keep it up and be able to show you all my adventures over seas.

Wow

Well i am sorry :) (Facebook is evil and addictive) WE should all band together and protest it and then go home and secretly go on again. :) Well 8th grade has flown by as every year does and next year is High School. Also next year is a move, a new country. (Korea VS. Italy) who knows, the air force are so changing but where ever we go my dad will be excited 4 years in one place is too long for him and used to be too long for me but now i am very satisfied with life and all that surrounds me and have no wish to change but i know that i will be happy whereever there is a library so to all my AZ friends i love books more than you. A sad truth hahaha jk i will miss you all but i will send pics through the evil Facebook! :)
