Well, so far I've definitely been enjoying life's simple pleasures and taking in the amazing place I'd like to call home - BOISE.
It's been packed of snow adventures.... which has meant lots of bruising.
I've been busy catching up with SO many great people in my life here. I am so richly blessed!My best gal pal - Alex
The girlfriend who's known me the longest - Holly Hawk
One of my favorite people to spend time with - Trent
Some friends I can always count on for a good adventure - Austin, Kristen and Kyle
Snowshoe extravaganza! With Christi and Katie
Some amazing people I get to spend my time with - Ali's Birthday! So honored to be there. Love you Ali!
The amazing baker and best person to entrust all my stuff with at my house! - Miss Kim
One INCREDIBLE mama - Amy Jo as well as Cade and Carson Tucker :)
More babies and yet another AMAZING mama! Keri Sue and Mr. William and Katelynn Sue :)
Christmas tree hunting - definitely got the best one!
Meet Chance - The little brother.
Me and Pops
Me and my mama
Oh - and did I mention I got a ticket? Yeah, I'd say I deserved it... except I don't. I've been SO careful and driving at the speed limit. *sigh*
So far, there have been a few Korean tendencies such as:
- Bowing at the car who stopped for me to cross the street
- Pushing doors instead of pulling them to go inside (I think America needs to jump on board with the double hinges!)
- Running into people because I now consider myself a left hand side walker instead of on the right
- Taking my shoes off upon entering any home
- Handing my money to cashiers the "respectful" way (giving money with my right hand with left hand under my right arm)
I can't believe I'm already getting ready to head back to Korea - I have feelings of peace and confidence as I enter into my next round in Seoul. God is so good.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!
Peace and love
Jess <3

P.S. We think that you ROCK!
What a great trip home! It sounds like things did work out for good. I must say that I LOVE your green knitted hat... I'm going to see if I can deconstruct it and knit one for myself...
Enjoy being back in Korea. It's definitely got some great things going for it.
