Finally February!

Happy February!

I am so excited and can hardly believe it is finally February! I have officially been in Nam for six months and am over half way through the school year. It still feels like I got here only yesterday, I'm not sure where the time has gone!

So here is a quick update on why I am so excited it is February... First off, in one week I will be headed off to Thailand with some of my favorite AIS friends. Our plan is to spend a couple of nights in Bangkok and then head down to Koh Chang island for a few days. I am more than ready for some relaxation and beach time!!! I realize this sounds a bit pathetic (and spoiled) since I've only just gotten back from winter break, but the kids are definitely ready for Tet, which has an odd way of rubbing off on us teachers! After Koh Chang we have a few days that are unplanned. I am excited to play the trip by ear. No matter where we end up, I am sure it will be more than amazing!

The next thing I am super excited for is spring break at the end of March because I will finally get to see Lindsey and my momma again! I adore my family and this is the longest I have gone without seeing them. Eight months is long enough, I am ready to see them again! When they come we will be heading down to Phu Quoc, an island just south of Vietnam, for a few days and then I'll be showing them around the city! I am so excited to see their reactions to this crazy, amazing place!

After February and March I have a feeling fourth quarter will fly by! In April we have a few days off and then it's May and a couple weeks in June before I head back home for three weeks.

So there you have it, everything is peachy keen over here! Although I must say, I am a little jealous of all the snow days you Iowa folks are getting... not the snow, just the days you are getting off school! I am still loving every bit of Nam and my students are still the most amazing kids ever!
