The time has come!

It's true, we are actually leaving for Korea at 7:24am tomorrow morning from Atlanta. We will arrive around 5:00 pm Sunday (which is 4am eastern standard time) in Seoul, then meet someone who will take us to the bus station, where we will begin a 4-8 hour bus ride to Gwangju. "4-8 hours?" you might ask. Well this weekend happens to be the beginning of a major holiday in Korea. This means the highways will be flooded with people driving to their hometowns to be with family. This is typically a 4 hour bus ride, but we have been warned that it may take up to 8. Whenever we finally make it to the Gwangju bus station, we should be greeted by our recruiter Michael who will take us to our new apartment! Thanks to this holiday (i'll have to get back to you on what it's all about) we will have some time to settle in before teaching on Thursday. It should take a few days to recoup from the trip so that will be nice. Next post will be made from Korea, pretty crazy!

Good luck you two! The United States will be surely at a loss without you. :) We'll all have just a bit of emptiness in our hearts. :) I'll be praying for ya! I love ya!
