it's been too long.......sorry!!!

i never meant to not be posting since i got home. i don't even know if there are any of you out there still checking for updates. i guess i just got lazy.

well my time at home suddenly got busy. during my first 3 weeks at home i managed to have a weekend road trip with my two younger sisters which was fun and got camping with the family another weekend but spent much of those 3 weeks wishing i was right back in sokcho. then 9 days ago michelle came to visit from ottawa and she helped me have a fun week touring around the beautiful nova scotia. we rented a car and drove around the coast, taking the most scenic route possible. we had fun staying in hostels along the way and even went whale watching. it was awesome.........and nova scotia is truly beautiful. i can't imagine living inland. i stayed inland when i was in mae sot for 3 months and that was too long for me. all those years i spent my summer days playing at the beach i never appreciated it like i should have. all i remember saying was "why can't we ever go to a pool?"! a pool??! i don't even swim. (maybe i would have if i ever got to go to a pool!) but really..........anyone who wants to come to nova scotia and have me show them around.........i'd be more than happy to jump in a car and do that trip over again.

now i'm off again. i leave for ontario tomorrow afternoon, catching a ride with my parents to get there then around the end of the month i will fly to st. john, nb and visit my sis and bro-in-law for a week or two and then drive back here with them in time for thanksgiving. while in ontario i will see michelle again, a friend from high school, two friends from university, a friend who's visiting canada and i worked with in korea, and two friends from here who i brought to korea for a year and now they are living in ontario!! that's a busy few weeks but it'll help pass time and i'm so excited to catch up with people i haven't seen in a while. there is about 2 months left before i go to mississippi........and it can't happen fast enough. t has less than 2 months left in korea and i can't wait 'till he's done.

don't know when the next post will be. hopefully not as long as it took me to get this one up.......but i'm making no promises!
