Same Old Same Old

Hello Again!!

So, the reason I haven't posted in a few days is really because nothing much is new. It's all the same old, same old. Kyle is sick with a cold, I think this morning he is finally starting to feel a bit better. His nose was so red for the last few days. We went out together for dinner last night, the first time that we went alone. It was a good feeling to know that we can function here and get around on our own without someone needing to tell us how to get there or how to order food.

We got a bill yesterday for either our water or gas, not sure since I cannot read it. All I know is that it is only $27.86. Doesn't seem too expensive too me. We also received our alien registration cards which tells the Korean government who we are and why we are here. It is nice to have them because now I do not have to worry about bringing my passport with me to just go to the grocery store. We just keep them safe now. Locked away. Kyle opened a bank account yesterday so that we can get paid. I guess they do direct deposit, which saves us the hassle of having to go to the bank every time to put the money in. We still will have to go each time to get them to transfer our money over to our home bank so we can pay off the student loans!! We are so excited to make our first big payments on our student loans. It will feel so good.

It's weird to think that we have been here in Korea for 3-4 weeks now. It went by really quickly. I was walking with Kyle yesterday and saying to him how weird it was to look at the GPS map on the plane and see where we were going and how it still feels so unreal that we are on this side of the world. It really does feel strange when I think about it and mostly because it doesn't feel out of place to be here. Well, besides the obvious not being able to read anything anymore.

I should run and go get ready for the day. To everyone at home.... good night. To everyone here... have a good Thursday!
