 Everyday it's easier and easier to see that spring is at home in Andong.
 The grass has started to grow at the new city park next to the river.
 The city is just covered in red, pink and green  It's makes me so cheerful to see it each day.
 Our little park is just the same with brilliant colors.
 Roland will be starting University classes soon. We are both really excited about it.  It was a lot of work to get all the paper work done in Korea but we did it! 
 Most days are sunny and there has been at least 2 days where the school A/C has been used to keep those hot blooded students cool. 
 It's so great to see all the green in the city. I feel like it's been a lifetime since I have seen spring.
 Not everything is green, the red and purple Japanese maples are really pretty at the restaurant across the street.
 Roland I found this and we made a wish!

 The trees right outside our building are filling out nicely they almost look like home.
 I created life this week with my little kitchen herb garden. My mom sent me some herb seeds and I have been excitedly waiting for them. These are the up coming chives.
This little one will someday grow to be a beautiful flat leaf Italian parsley, I hope.
 The outside is not the only thing changing. My class room is too! I have started teaching younger kids.  Currently my students are 10 years old and under. I am teaching a speaking heavy curriculum with basic grammar and reading practice for the higher level students. We also go over a little phonics everyday as it's good practice for everyone.  
 This is our board and it's a little outdated. I have been letting the kids add more and more to it each week.  Every week there is an overall class theme that we practice along with their book. We are on week 4 which is why I haven't had much time to update, but hopefully in June everything will even out again.
 You should click on this picture I'm kind of proud of it. The kids did a great job. It took me a long time to put it together, but everyone really liked it!
 And more change! The building on the left will be Roland and I's new apartment building. My school has hired my dear friend Bethany and she will be moving in to our current apartment soon.
This video is a short tour of our newest apartment, which is currently empty.
 This is a still picture of our living room.
This is a picture of our sunny bed room.
Monday is our first Wedding anniversary! We are remembering all the people who made our special day so wonderful. We miss you all so much and love you so dearly.
