So here we are, in the home stretch towards Chelsea and I’s impending departure for Korea. We’ve tried twice to get married, the first was thwarted by forgetfulness on our part and not remembering the marriage license and the second by the Deacon’s signature being put on the incorrect line…so that brings us to the third and from what I am told, the one which should be the charm, wedding, that should be held on Monday in Des Moines, making it legal in the eyes of the great state of Iowa. With that and Chelsea being done with her final two college courses, we are set for Korea.
Our contract starts November 19th, although no word yet on when we fly out. We hope to know that soon and some more info on our living quarters. We are both very excited though, with our very close proximity to our friend Andy Whitmore, we know we’ll be having a good time whenever he starts to spin the jams and we can’t wait to meet new people, experience a new culture and help a few children learn English along the way. With that, the countdown begins and hopefully this blog serves as a great way to share our adventure with our friends and family and as a way for us to document, for ourselves, the beginning of our lives together.
