Teacher's Day and coming back home

Well first off I am late in posting. I am sorry about that to whoever reads this on a regular basis if there is anyone that does. Anyways I was jet legged yesterday so I am sure this post would have been odd if I tried to right it then. So I will start off by talking about teacher's day. In Korea (and many other countries) they have set dates to celebrate teachers. Well usually teachers are given carnation flowers or other gifts. I received many gifts this year and I am very touched that the parents spent so much on me. I am grateful that my kids like me enough to want to give me something. I am very touched and I of course took pictures of my gifts. :)

So my teacher's day was very lovely and I am grateful to my kids for the beautiful and lovely gifts. It made me feel special. I also for teacher's day got a message from Aiden. He told me he loved me which is something he would never admit when I was teaching him. He also wrote Jocelyn, Catie and I a letter for teacher's day. I was touched, because he was supposed to write it for his new teachers, but instead he wrote to us. He English has gotten worse, but I am sure you will be able to understand it.

He sent me this from the motor show he went to. :)

 So since Thursday was my last day with my kids for the next three weeks we went to the dream park and I took pictures of them. To be honest I already miss them. I know I am so lame! haha

Well I miss them already and I hope they are doing well with Matt. He is covering for me right now so I hope they are listening to him well. On Thursday before I left they kept telling me "Tara Tr no go." So I hope they are being good.

Well now let's talk about being home. To be honest it is very weird and surreal to me. I left Korea on May 18th at 5pm and I arrived to Colorado on May 18th at 5pm. No there is no typo there I just traveled 15 hours which happens to be the time difference between Colorado and Korea. It is weird for me though. When I go back I will lose a day. As far as adjusting goes I am doing pretty good. They first day was tough, and I woke up at 4am, but today I woke up at 7am. So not to bad. I feel good right now. I did get altitude sickness my first day here. It has been so long since I have been this high up, my body was having a hard time. Now I am getting better. So hearing English everywhere is so strange to me. I have a tendency to want to speak Korean. I bowed when I got off the plane both times. I also have been speaking Korean to my family and my dogs. haha It has been interesting to be home. It is nice to be home and I look forward to the weeks ahead with my family. Well I am off to play with my dogs. Have a good week! Besos!!!
