Another item for the list:
I will miss watching thunderstorms develop.
I got my flight info a couple of days ago. Flying out of such a small airport, you never know how many layovers you will have to endure. I was pleased to see that I fly into Dallas-Fort Worth, have about a 3 hour layover, and then a direct flight on Korean Air to Incheon International Airport. Flight reservations means one step closer to taking the plunge!
Today, I received my actual visa back in the mail from the Korean Consulate in Chicago. Also a huge relief! Everything seems to have been taking longer than I expected, so this is a great burden lifted. Should be smooth sailing from here! (ha...ha)
I spent today with a few good friends from college at Adventureland. It was a fun day, and my friend won a stuffed pig for me. I named him William, and plan on taking him to Korea with me. I have to stay connected to my Iowa roots, and (aside from sweet corn) what better connection is there than swine? Who knows, you might see and hear a bit more about William on the blog in the future...I have plans.
In the midst of all of these goodbyes, all I can say is I am so thankful to be living in the age of technology. Communication is instant! Can you imagine being a pioneer and moving across the country and sometimes going a year without so much as a letter from family members? Many times it took months and months to learn a family member had passed away. It is nice sometimes to step back and realize how far we have come and how much we take for granted!
Back to work tomorrow. It is the start of my last week at LHF. It is definitely bittersweet.
