Well as you know, Jackie is here! She is currently behind me curling my hair for our Friday night out at RMT. There are only two more weeks of live music for the guitar competition! Next week are the finals. I can't believe it is already December 1. Talking about December and Christmas with my kindergartens today was a huge realization about how fast time is going again. Anyway I wanted to do a quick post because I have been slacking as of late. Jackie and I have managed to have an incredible week despite the fact that I've had to work Monday to Friday from 10am until 5:30pm. We spent each night after work out on different adventures but took Wednesday off to chill out at the apartment. I can't believe she's leaving already on Sunday. It seems like yesterday I was running to the bus stop to meet her and now we'll be going back to the same bus stop to go to the airport Sunday afternoon. *Sigh* I hate how time goes so quick when you're having fun but isn't that always the way? However we have had an awesome time together and I will cherish this visit for the rest of my months here. It will probably be the only time I will get a visitor from home and I couldn't have picked a better person. It's so funny how we went from spending every single day together as children and every weekend having sleepovers to enjoying a week together in Seoul, Korea. I remember Mrs. Samuel and my mum thinking that we weren't going to stay best friends in high school...we showed them! And everyone else! And now she's spending her vacation visiting me halfway across the world. It's not just best friends, we're family. There's no friend category that Jackie and I would slide into. I will be writing a huge blog with the details of our whirlwind week together on Sunday night most likely. When I will be all alone again in my apartment, my toothbrush without a partner and my couch without a body. This has been the best week I will probably have in Korea and I am so thankful that she took the time to come here and experience this country with me.
Just a quick note, we were talking about my sister and her family a lot and we share the same first memory of my brother-in-law....him putting us into a garbage can!!! hahahaha it made us laugh so hard.
Speaking of which, we had so many firsts together. We were remembering them all the other day. Our first cigarette (ew), our first shaving armpits experience, our first tampons... so many monumental firsts...there is still so much more but I figure that's enough detail for anyone to hear about hahaha. And now her first Asian experience is with me in Korea. And my first visitor is Jackie. I look forward to seeing us continue to grow and share more experiences with each other. I'm gonna be so sad to see her leave.

OK. So maybe I am a bit old but I cannot recall the garbage can incident and neither can Aris. Well that is not entirely true...it just sounds so familiar but I can't quite imagine it - if that makes sense.
I know it will be sad when Jackie leaves...just think beaches, hot weather, maybe hot guys in 4 short weeks.
Take care.
Love Jen
I am glad that you had a great time with Jackie. I do remember a lot of the first you mentioned and am glad that u could look back and laugh about them. Do you remember the first dive in the pool when it was only 70degrees we had just opened and you both had huge goose bumps you both where very brave!!!!Think of this time as a nice interruption to your schedule.
