The Last Few Days

So we are leaving in less than three days, with that being said, we have a sick toddler-- great, right?

However, during that time I got some awesome photos of her. Photos that showed her peaceful side. Still, with us leaving South Korea so soon I can't help but hope she will not be sick on the flight home. So let's hope to a perfectly healthy toddler for our flight home, and for her to maybe sleep through all of it, haha--one can hope, right?

I can't wait until we get back state side to see everyone and enjoy being in the presence of family again! With that being said, I also can't wait until we also move to Germany! Well, until the next entry-- which will more than likely be posted from a different continent, whether it be from America or Germany! :)

A New Year

Hello everyone, and Happy New Years!!! Okay, well, so I’m two hours late on the celebration but better late than never! I would first like to begin with, "It's been one heck of a year." Actually, that would not even give it justice!  

Thinking back on all that this year has brought made me realize just how busy we truly were. Last year, Tanya was only nine months old. She, like most children, was not yet walking or talking and yet today we couldn't seem to get her to be calm down and stop running around. In the past year, Tanya has transformed from a shy little baby to a hyper, sweet, dramatic little diva. I can say with absolute confidence that her personality has completely changed!



Not only did our baby transform to a toddler overnight, other large changed happened in the family as well. I finally got up the nerve to start college--it took a while, I know! That being said, I am absolutely loving it and doing so amazing in my courses. My current GPA is almost a 3.4, which for me, is really amazing! I couldn't be more proud of myself! College keeps me on my toes, make me feel great about what I’m doing--no matter how stressful it is, and is always keeping me busy!

Now let's move onto the country that we are currently living in-- South Korea. In the past year, we have finally become more adventurous when it comes to exploring the amazing country but not without the help of some friends.  In the past year, we've made some amazing friends as well as had to say 'Good bye' to some.


Now, after finally feeling so at home here, we know that it is time for us to leave. We have come to love South Korea and so it's only natural that we are sad to leave. However, a new adventure awaits us by the name of Germany! An adventure that I am all too sure will be just as amazing! While moving is always difficult, I am very grateful for things such as Facebook, Skype and Emailing. These three things make moving away from friends and family possible.

So, most of you are probably wondering just how much time we have left in South Korea. Well, we leave in about a week! Yes, you heard right, about a week. It's crazy--isn't it? Yet it's also exciting at the same time! We are taking 'leave' to go see family before we head to Germany, so that makes it even better! Tanya gets to see her cousins, her grandparents, her aunts and her uncles and everyone else under the sun! We are packed and ready to go!

So, let's move onto to New Years Resolutions.
Do you know what the 'Top Ten New Year's Resolutions' for most people are?
No? Well, I'll tell you.

1.) Spend more time with Family and Friends
2.)Fit in Fitness
3.) Tame the Bulge
4.) Quit Smoking
5.) Enjoy Life More
6.) Quit Drinking
7.) Get out of Debt
8.) Learn Something New
9.) Help Others
10.) Get Organized.

Luckily, only one of those are on my list--and it's #2. I want a life style change. I don't need to really lose weight. (As much as I complain about it!) However, I do need to start toning up and exercising daily. To help myself with the new task , I have already started it a month ago and so far, it's going pretty good. 

However, that is not the only new Years Resolution for me. My last one is to get into more photos with my daughter. You see those two photos of my daughter and I? They are two out of the ten that I have. (Or somewhere around there!) While that may not seem bad, I am referring to the entire year. When I had realized that, I immediately decided on this goal.

So those are my two goals for the New Years! What are yours? How do you plan on accomplishing them? Whatever your goals are and however you plan on getting them done, I hope all of you had an amazing new year! Remember to sit down, relax, and enjoy the little things in life. Once more, Happy New Years!!! :)
