February in a nut shell

Hello!!!!
What to say..... Well first let me apologize for not writing on a regular basis. It's just so hard, but you all know where to find me.... I'm always on MSN and Facebook. Also MOM you need to go help grandma set up an e-mail account so she can become part of facebook so she can look at my pics. Either that or take your laptop to her house and show her.
Recently as you have probably seen on facebook my friend Brittney(from OK/TX) and I went snowboarding. Let me tell you we were the ONLY foreigners there! We got there early not knowing what to expect and they told us we had to wait. So we went to the coffee shop and just lounged around for an hour or so. Then we went to try to get our boards and everything. We had a personal guide to help us!!! He barely even spoke English.... wait wait... he didn't speak ENGLISH! Somehow we managed to rent everything necessary ( including ski pants for myself) and we were asked to wait in this area. We felt like we were on lock down. I even asked the guide if we could leave and they said no no wait. Apparently we were waiting until it was closer to 6 p.m. so that we wouldn't ski early. Finally we got to go boarding. It was only my second time and Brittney had only been a couple of times so we had no idea what we were doing. It took us probably 20 minutes to figure out how to put the board on! Ha Ha! Once we got to the top and put our board on we just went with it. Surprisingly we weren't that bad. I only bit it a couple of times and that was when I was trying to turn. We went down the bunny slope about 3 times and then moved to the next slope. We were having so much fun and we ended up meeting these 4 Korean guys who just happened to used to be snowboard instructors. They were really cool and patient with us. We had a fantastic time and I'm so glad we finally went. I think we are going again in a couple of weeks before the season is over.
My friend Kristina left last Sunday and her boyfriend Ryan(who is also a co-worker and friend) is leaving this Sunday. I am truly sad because I LOVE both of them! They are great people. However I won't miss Ryan making me drink all the time haha! Actually we are going to play Edward 40 Hands tomorrow after work. For those of you who don't know Edward 40 Hands is when you tape 2 40's to your hands. Both hands have 1 40 in them and youcan't take them off until you have finished them. As you all know I have a bladder the size of a peanut so I am going to wear sweat pants so I can just pull them on and off. Hopefully! haha
This Saturday my friend and co-worker Sophia and I are going on a trip. I don't remember the name of it, but it's called "Museum without walls".... I'll take lots of pics so look for them on facebook.
Anyways that is it for right now!
I love you all!!!!!!!!

Birthday Month!!!!!!!

Hellooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to Sanbon yesterday to visit my friend April who is in the hospital after having back surgery. I was only there for about an hour and she fell asleep. I feel so sorry for her because she is in a large room that she has to share with about 8 other people. It was kind of funny because everyone in there would speak Korean and then look over at us. Then they started saying "Ice Cream" mixed in with their Korean and soon there was a "Pink Lady" (they are the ones who help the sick people like my friend April)with ice cream bars. It was kind of nice, but in the same sense like "Hey! Do you think Americans are fat so we want MORE ice cream!?!?" ha ha. After April went to sleep my friend Kristina and I went to some Indian fod place and had an amazing dinner!

As you all know my birthday is coming up! I know that you all have already sent my presents ahead of time becuase you wanted me to get them on my birthday and I just want to say "THANKS"!!!!! HA HA! On a serious note thank you for thinking of me. Now Brandi don't forget that you are going to take g-ma out to celebrate! This is her second birthday without me and I think it's still hard for her. :) Kasie, Brandy, Brandi, Tara, Jen, Moo-Moo and Stana and anyone else that I am forgetting to mention please go out and celebrate for me! Kasie .... only 2 shots of tequila! ha ha! I know that everyone is probably glad I'm in another country so you don't have to participate in my birthday month shenanigans!!!! Ha! Ha!

As for me.... I think that my friends and I are going to eat at Hooters at 6:00, hit "HAPPY TIME" at 7:30-8:00, go and eat again to soak up the mounds of alcohol involved at "HAPPY TIME" and then go out clubbing. Last time we went to Monkey Beach which is where "HAPPY TIME" is I along with everyone else only remember about an hour of being there..... so believe me the second round of food is neccessary! Ha Ha!

I promise I will take lots of pics of my birthday to show you!!!! I love and miss you all!!! I really wish you could be here in this AWESOME country to celebrat my birthday with me! Toodles!!!

Sorry Friends!

I apologize for my lack of blogging in the past month. I have been trying to adjust to life, work, and new friends in Korea. Have I said that I love it here yet???? Well I do!

I'm getting used to the way people act around here and settling into my new job. I was on the subway the other day and this little old lady just rammed right into me. I wanted to yell at her, but quickly realized that this is just how it is in South Korea. I laughed about it after I looked to see who pushed me and saw a little old lady smaller than my own grandma looking at me like "What?" Ha Ha!!!

I've been exploring my area a lot and trying out the korean food. I try to keep a positive attitude, but it's hard when you can't even read the dang menu! I think some of the girls I work with are going to take a class in Gangnam I might join! If I'm going to be here I either A) need to take classes or B)hook up with a Korean guy... HAHaHAHA!!!

Well I'm getting ready to get off work so I'll try posting something when I get home..... I love you all and miss you terribly!

Annyong Haseyo.............. Means hello/goodbye :)
