end the strike!!

okay, i know its been a while, but i have been really busy. but anyway, here i am and here is an update of my life....

first of all, i'm pusuing my masters degree. its all online through university of phoenix, and i'll receive a Masters in Education: Curriculum and Instruction. the online thing is a little weird to get used to at first, but i'm getting the hang of it more and more. it's a lot of writing, but i like doing that, so i'm okay. in my class right now, i am in a group for a team power point presentation. my team members live in taiwan and hawaii, so the time difference is sometimes hard, but it is so cool learning about the different cultures through them. and the classes are pretty in-depth, and fast paced, so each is about 6 weeks long, so i'll be completed in a little under a year and a half. pretty cool. :)

last weekend i went to the boyz II men concert here in korea. i won tickets on the base radio station and i took my friend tracy who REALLY wanted to go. i even had to sing on the radio for them!! hahaha anyways, we had an awesome time and sang along and danced and screamed adn acted silly. i don't think the korean really knew what to do about us. :) but we did meet another couple tehre from the base.... they saw us dancing and singing and came to sit by us because they felt out of place inthe middle of the koreans who were just sitting there. it was AWESOME!!

the countdown has begun for our trip to hawaii.... only 35 more days!!!! yay! we are so excited! i think i want to try to shortboard when i'm there. i'm not sure if i have enough strength, but i'm going to try! and we're going to go to the pipeline masters tournament and see some cool people surfing. hey, maybe we'll see rob machado again and we'll talk, since we're old buddies now!!! hahahaha kelly slater already won the world title last weekend in brazil, but it'll be cool to see who wins the triple crown title there. surfing is cool.

so there you have it.... a good update.... the rest of the stuff is the same old.... luke is good, getting antsy to surf, my kids are great, our concert is the 8th of december, school is good, the weather is getting colder but not too frigid yet...
i miss you all lots!
stop the strike jess, i want to see halloween pics!!!!! :)
love you, love you too
