I am now moving into the final week of preparation for my trip to Korea, I have to pack and perhaps get a new rain coat; I'm not sure. They say that the weather in Korea at this time is very rainy according to what I've been told. I just checked the forecast however and it seems on the day of my arrival they are expecting 81 and sunny. I hope their weather people are a little more reliable than ours *smile*.

I haven't heard from Jong heon in almost a week. I imagine he is very busy with work, trying to get ahead so that we may spend the following week together. I can't wait to finally meet them face to face; I wonder at the emotion as I think about what it will be like to look into their faces that will be so much like mine.

We have different cultures, different histories, but I know the earnest love that they feel for me, like a tree that has found a branch thought lost to it. I am so glad to have extended family in Korea, uncles cousins and the like. I think that many mysteries will be revealed.
