Out of country...leave a message!

Ohhhhhhh yes, Marteel is going to brave another part of the world. I don't have an exact date yet but, end of February/ early March we are heading to Korea AND Japan! Let me rephrase, we are heading to Korea and then I am heading to Japan!! :) My best friend Jenny has been there 2 years now!! It's like a 2 hour plane ride from Korea. I can't WAIT to see her! Anywho, I'm very excited to say the least. China, Japan, and Korea are quite interesting places. If I was single I would live all over the world, but I'll settle for visiting. The only downfall is I will be doing this in 7 days! The flight to Korea alone is 24 hours (23 coming back). It's going to be a bit brutal on the old body. On TOP of that...I'm taking a 5 year old. Yep. 5.......for 24 hours. I couldn't imagine not taking her, she's old enough now that she will remember going. I plan to take many trips like this with her as she gets older, this is a good start. Can we say...Benadryl? HA!

Things on the home front are good. Abby appears to be coming out of this god awful year long phase she's been in. :) I didn't experience terrible 2's & 3's, I experienced terrible 4's!! I took her back to work with me today after I picked her up from school and the place practically shut down. She was dressed in her school uniform (which is always cute to see) and it conveniently has a pocket for her to store her pink bonne bell chapstick, which she promptly reapplied after every "Marteel she is SO adorable". She's matter of fact like me, and that floors people for some reason. LMAO! Little things people notice that I don't I guess. People also are in awe when they ask how old she is, she says 5, she doesn't hold up her whole hand. Some people are entertained easily. LOL Of course "I" think she's brilliant..she's MINE! They got to see her write her alphabet and numbers because they couldn't wait to get her pen and paper. She also drew pictures for 3 of them per their request. They got a big kick out of her. I'm totally the favorite now because I have the cute daughter. =)

That's all for now. I can't wait to see you Jenny!
