Over the past few weeks I’ve been so busy! I had about a week to unpack and get settled in my new place in Ulsan and then my dear friend Joni came to visit for 10 days.

I’ve been keeping a secret from Joni for a while now and she finally found out the morning Dave and I took her to the airport. We left the apartment at 5am and I brought a pillow with me in the car. When we got to Gimhae Airport to drop her off, I was still holding my pillow. She laughed and said, “You’re taking your pillow in?” I opened the trunk and said, “That’s not all I’m taking in!” and pulled out my giant fuchsia suitcase. Dave had secretly loaded it that morning before she woke up. She had no idea that I was flying back with her. She was so surprised and so happy!

We flew from Busan to Narita Airport (about 2 hours outside Tokyo) and then had an 8 hour layover. The flight from Narita to Dallas was over 13 hours. I got in Thursday around 4:30pm.

I know my blog is really behind and I intend to update it as soon as I shake this jet lag that has me feeling absolutely exhausted all day.
