Wow, it has been a lot longer since I have written in here than I thought, almost a month. I am sorry for that, but I have been doing my best to keep myself busy. I will try and write more but it gets harder and harder to write when most days I don't even have much to say, at least not to the public.
My time here has started slow down some, and with the holidays around the corner I have a great fear of going into a depressive state again like when I first got here. Halloween is next week and while it may not be a major holiday to most people, it has always been a big deal in our family. Amanda and I always decorate the house as spooky as possible and Gabriel is always so cute and has so much fun getting candy. Last year was the best because I actually handed out candy for the first time while Amanda took Gabriel around to the houses to get candy of his own.
Today is the clearest day we have had since I have been here. There is no fog coming off the mountains and with the trees changing a nice fall color it really is very beautiful here. There is a nice cool breeze during the day and it is very cold in the mornings. The geese are headed south for the winter and for the first time in years I am finally looking at 4 seasons. I can't wait for the snow next month and I hope I get enjoy it.
Amanda sent me our digital camcorder a few weeks ago so I am planning on starting a video diary of my time here. The chances of being able to email them out are small considering the file size, but it will be nice to show folks when I get home. For now most of you will just have to settle for pictures. I have not taken any yet but I will, I just have to get off my lazy but and do it.
I had a nice little adventure a couple days ago. I decided since I have made all these life style changes with my diet and going back to school (Lost 22lbs. so far by the way), I was going to do one more thing I have always wanted to do but never I guess "got around to it". I decided I was going to learn how to play the guitar. So my friend Smith and I went to Insadong, a small town within the city of Seoul. There we found a HUGE music story that was store upon of people selling musical instruments and things like that. With a lot of luck and help from this very nice Korean man, I found my new baby. I will post pictures of her as well as my playing experience in my next post.
Anyway there really isn't much else to say right now. I miss all of you very much and I hope everyone out there is doing well. I love you and I will write more soon.
Until next time...
Gabriel is dressing up HULK this year! So cute!
