YAY.

MY MOM IS COMING!
On Saturday, we will be picking her up from Incheon International Airport.  We have a fun week planned ahead.  Because of Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving), Ben and I have no school Monday through Wednesday next week, so we will have Saturday through Wednesday free to spend time with my mother.  Thursday and Friday, we plan to drag Mom to school so she can meet the kiddos.  (The kids are so excited. I spoke to one of the kindergarten moms yesterday. Apparently he told his mom all about my mom coming to school.)  On our time off, we're going to go to the Korean Folk Village in Suwon, COEX (there's an aquarium in the basement and a Buddhist temple right across the street), and eat lots of Korean food.

I am so excited about seeing my mom.  It's been eight months since I've gotten to hug her, so it's pretty amazing that she's coming to Korea to see us!

In other news, Ben and I are coming home for Christmas! We got the tickets purchased last weekend. We will be arriving Saturday afternoon (Dec. 22nd) and leaving Sunday morning (December 30th).  We'll be dividing our time between Russellville and Jonesboro and walking around like zombies, but we're thoroughly excited to get to go home for a little while.

Well, it's time for school!  Will update when Mom arrives!
