First thing this morning I went downtown to the office of the secretary of state and got my criminal background check apostilled. It was cake. I couldn't believe this was such a major issue before... don't believe everything you read (web site said no apostilles, wierd). ANYway, my mom met me at Fed Ex just a few minutes ago, and helped me mail off all my documents to S. Korea (she gets an 80% discount as a US Airways employee- definately comes in handy)! So, I have notified Alistair that all the documents are heading his way (the mail is picked up at 4:45pm today, so they will be on their way in 45 minutes haha).

I went to my final orthodontist appointment today, and dr. d was like oh I am so excited for you and so jealous of the adventures you will have! please keep in touch, email us updates and pictures, and come visit whenever you are back in the US. I was like dang, that's nice of you! and one of the tech's was telling me that she had a lot of friends who were in the military and lived in S. Korea. Aparently, the Korean men are all going to ask me to marry them, and I will be called "round eyes". Interesting... I think I'm worth a few goats in Africa; I wonder what type of livestock I would be traded for in Korea?? Ha.

I just overall have an awesome feeling about going and reallllllllly hope it works out! I am not out of the woods yet by any means... there is a tight time schedule, and if one thing goes awry, I will be out of luck for this opportunity. Praying like crazy! I will miss home severely, but I really want to go to Chuncheon! My heart is longing for adventure! :)
