Where Am I and How Did I Get Here?

I'm still trying to remember how that initial conversation went but somehow I managed to find myself in South Korea.  When Jason initially called with the question "would you consider moving to South Korea for a year" I thought "sure, why not?" never thinking his boss at the time would really let him go.  Sure enough the boss said he could "make that happen" if we wanted it.  The next stop was the kids.  The teenager would have to leave her friends, high school, soccer team, girl scout troop etc. for the duration... willingly (no year-long crying fits) and her cat.  The 10 year old would have to forgo his 5th grade year; safety patrol, choir, reading buddies, graduation; his own large circle of friends and most of all his dog.  Then we solved one issue after another, getting the kids into school, finding someone to watch the house and pets, finding an apartment etc.  Eventually it came down to me and what I wanted to do.  Could I leave my friends, girl scout troop that I've lead since 2005, the service unit with so many of my friends in it, my job, my fabulous car pool?  I couldn't be the one to hold the family back on such a great opportunity.  We would be so close to China, Australia, Japan not to mention seeing all the great places in South Korea.  So here we are!  Just South of Seoul in South Korea!
