. . . you can count on me.
You read that correctly. I will be coming home for Christmas. Unfortunately, my grandmother fell and broke her hip recently. Luckily they were able to patch her up, sort of speak. However, during her recovery in rehab the therapist over worked her and they left her in worse shape than when she went in. My family suggested that I come home for a visit, in the event she takes a turn for the worse, which we all pray won't happen. I was extremely lucky that my school is allowing me the time off to come home because the only day we actually get off work here is December 31st. My parents were sooooo generous to buy me the round trip ticket. I will be leaving Korea on December 24th and luckily with the time change I arrive the morning of December 24th! So I will be able to spend Christmas with the family. I will be in the states until December 30th, when I fly back and back to work on January 3rd.
I am really excited about the opportunity to come home but not necessarily for the unfortunate reason. I know I had mentioned in my last post that my Christmas package had just arrived but it was sent before we decided to bring me home. I have already been getting so many requests from other foreign teachers on what to bring back for them in addition to my list of necessities. Plus the Korean teachers are making their lists too. Don't worry I'm getting the money up front!
I won't have a car or access to one while I'm home, so if anyone wants to get together, if I have time, please let me know and we can try to schedule something. Also, I had not mentioned this before but I have been having problems uploading my pictures from my camera. This explains why you haven't seen any pictures from me yet. As soon as I get to the states, I am going to get that fixed so I can post them!
I can't wait to listen to the all Christmas music KOST radio, watch the 24 hours of a "Christmas Story" and "Elf." Plus I am really hoping that the family can have our all night board games evening on Christmas Eve. Did I mention that I have a list of the American restaurants and food I want to gobble down while I can. And of course, I am really hoping to make a pit stop to my park, Disneyland. I want to see the "Nightmare Before Christmas" Haunted Mansion. (This all depends on grandma's blessing and health of course).
Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers for me!
