It's official -- I'm staying!

just signed a contract for ANOTHER YEAR of teaching in Korea! I'll be here until March 2011!!!


Who would have ever guessed Jill Anderson, the girl who grew up in the same city her whole life would love living in another country so much! I love Korea so much that I didn't even think twice about signing my life away for another year! (Oh and PS, I never dress like this for work, but it was 25 degrees today, and I just wanted to be comfy... luckily my Principal didn't care at all! He was all smiles when I walked into his office!)


My Principal didn't think twice either about me staying at his school for another year.... which made me feel great!

*** Thank you Lord for the blessings this school and country have brought to me during this pivital year in my life! May it continue to be as wonderful and life changing next year!

Beautiful Haeundae...

Looks warm and inviting doesn't it?

Well, don't be fooled! It freezing here these days! Jess and I took a walk on this boardwalk in Haeundae this weekend, with our 3 layers of clothes, warm coats, and hot Starbucks drinks in hand! Winter has definitely arrived! Today it's 25 degrees!

Hilarious ad!

Jess spotted this ad this weekend while we were in a taxi headed to Haeundae and we thought it was hilarious!

Phonetically Clever Kids

Aaron's students are what I like to call "phonetically clever."   He came to school last week and noticed this on the alphabet word flip chart in the English Library.  Lovely huh?! 

Fall leaves!!

I'm a California girl, and since I've never seen piles of gorgeous yellow leaves like this before, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to plop down right in the middle of them! 

Dirty as it may have been to lay on the sidewalk, and as awkward as it may have seemed for passerby's... it was my little piece of heaven for the afternoon, so really, that's all that matters!!
