Feeling blessed!

Aaron and I were sitting around last night talking about how blessed we feel for being able to travel so much in the last three years. 

WE'VE BOTH TRAVELED ABROAD 13 TIMES in 3 YEARS! 

Before moving to Korea, I'd been to Mexico and Europe once... But never, in a million years, did I think I'd have the opportunity, or even enjoy, traveling through the countries of South East Asia.  Who knew?!

Korea was NEVER in my plan before coming here, but as it turns out, it's been one of the best things that's ever happened in my life!  Living and teaching English in Korea has afforded me a VERY comfortable lifestyle, rid me of my anxiety, given me the chance to travel without going broke, presented me with the love of my life, and has allowed me to live my life to the fullest!  I don't know when this chance will end, so for now I'm just thankful to God for it.   

25% Pay Raise!

I was just called down to my school Principal's office.  I never really know what to think when this happens... I know I'm never in trouble, because I'm not the kind of employee to break the rules, so I always just hope for the best!  Today turned out to be just that!

He ended up asking me if I would be willing to teach two (40 minute) after school classes a week to 10 or 15 1st and 2nd graders each class.  At first I was hesitant, but then when he told me what the parents would be paying for me to teach their kids, I could not resist!  In a country where education is everything, parents will pay top dollar for English classes with a foreigner.  If I have 20 total students sign up (which is the low end),
my yearly salary will go up 25%!!

I'm a millionaire ~ in Korean won of course, but a millionaire none the less! :)

Thank you Korea!
