Personal

End is near

by Cat on September 30, 2008

The blog has been pretty quiet over the past couple weeks as we are currently negotiating some real-world transitions. Although nothing is set in stone, it does appear that we will be ending our sojourn in Korea at the end of the year.

We’re not precisely sure what we’ll be doing next, but it does look pretty certain that it won’t be here. One option is to return to the U.S. and another is for David to take a short assignment for his company in Hong Kong.

I am having surprisingly mixed emotions about leaving Seoul. On one hand, I am excited about a new adventure or the chance to move closer to friends and family and all the comforts of home. On the other hand, I know there are many things here that I will miss very much.

David and I began our married life together here and this is where our daughter was born. So many of our ‘firsts’ together were here, and I am feeling a little sentimental at the idea of possibly never seeing all of these places again.

Over the next couple of months, we’ll be trying to visit some places in Korea that we’ve been meaning to see, and I’ll probably post a lot of reflections about our life here and how it has changed me, and us. But I wanted to do this quick short note to let people know what’s going on.

13 Months: High gear

by Cat on September 21, 2008

Dear Susana,

Last week you turned 13 months old and seemed very intent on turning the corner into fullblown toddlerhood, leaving your baby days far behind.

Friends told me that at this age you will just start changing so much, day to day, developing more and more skill and independence. And they were so right. Some days you wake up seeming like a whole new person from the kid we put to bed the night before.
