Katie's Wandering Seoul

I think that sometimes we all tend to take things for granted.  I know that I have taken so much for granted throughout my life.  People will tend to focus on the negatives of their, lives when really we have so much around us to make us happy.  Sometimes we all just need to take a step back, slow down a little bit, and really appreciate everything that is around us. This past month or so I have really tried to do that.  Yes, I will bitch and complain about things in Korea, and I will tell you that I'm looking forward to leaving at the end of my contract.  BUT I've realized I have just over 3 months left in this country, and that's it.  I don't know if I will ever be back in Korea, so really, I need to make the most of what little time I have left here.   I think after living here for a year and a half we don't realize how beautiful this country really is.  It wasn't until lately that I decided to take in some of the beauty it has to offer....

Since I have been seriously slacking on the updating of this blog I figured I should attempt at making a come back. I went home in February for 2 weeks.  It was amazing to be home and to see everyone again. I sure was busy for those two weeks making sure I saw as many people as I could but still make sure I spent a ton of time with my mom, my brother, my aunts and Uncles, and of course the little cousins.  I did had a dinner with each of my aunts separately to make sure we had time just one on one.  Seeing all my cousins was great too.  They are all so cute and I just love spending time with them.  It's hard for them because they know that I am gone but don't understand really how far I am from home.  It was amazing to see all my friends and my family of course, but I also loved seeing my cat and dog.  I sometimes see B when i skype with my mom and he does know my voice, but I was amazed to see that how much he remembered me.  As soon ...
