Not keeping it so Koreal anymore...

Sitting on my balcony in Singapore, picking up sketchy internet from the shop across the street, waiting for my fiance to come home so we can have dinner, I thought updating my blog a bit would be a good idea.

First of all, I am now living in Singapore. I have signed a two year contract and could not be more excited about it! I live in a beautiful condo with my fiance, in such a beautiful country, and things are really, really good. Oh yeah, and I'm engaged now. That happened a little over a month ago and I am so incredibly stoked about and so stupidly in love it's ridiculous. Hopefully I'll go into more details about that later, but a brief run down of our relationship...We were good friends for a year and a half, he lived in Daejeon and was friends with my friend Laura from university. We always liked each other, but neither of us said anything about it.  Then, one glorious 4th of July, I decided to tell him that, "I kinda dig you," and it has been crazy wonderful ever since. More later, but that's pretty much what happened.

So, I left Korea the 1st of December, me, Lola, and a bajillion suitcases.  That was a mess. Thankfully, Laura and our friend Calvin went to the airport with me to help me carry everything.  Laura was also quite crucial in getting Lola home. I was never told she had to go through quarantine, then they told me and quarantine was closed. So they said I had to go home the next day, I was absolutely devastated. Anyhow, I cried like it was nobody's business, and Laura was very adamant that I would be going home that day. No questions asked. I am pretty sure the language barrier, my crying, and Laura, made all airline staff quite uncomfortable, so they opened quarantine for me and I got to go home. Yay!

Well, this was brief. But I am going to start making dinner now. I'll write more about my last few months in Korea, my time home, and starting a new life in Singapore
