Guess who's back?

Tell a friend. 

Ferial-Shmerial is back. 

Well, at least I hope so. 

I've missed blogging and now that life has settled down a bit, 

I feel I can try and start posting regularly again. 

Let's re-cap, shall we? 

In the last 6 months, the hubs and I have: 

>> moved overseas

>> flew on an airplane with a cat!

>> moved in with my parents

>> had a dear friend visit us from Korea

>> gotten plugged back into our church

>> gotten job(s)

>> moved out of my parents house

>> bought a car

>> moved into our own cute little apartment

>> refinished a table

>> reunited with family and old friends

>> been homesick for Korea (often, actually)

We are happy. 

We have a cute little home, our fur baby, our family and friends, 

and so much to be thankful for. 

When I even think back to the stress and exhaustion of moving across the ocean again, 

I am overwhelmed by God's goodness and provision and just so thankful that we made it. 

We miss Korea (and our people there) something fierce. 

Sometimes, I wake up in the morning and in those moments right before 

I open my eyes, I expect to see my room in Korea when I open them. 

These days, I'm missing my Korean commute a lot; 

that one-minute walk to work couldn't be beat. 

Nowadays, I've got a 30-minute drive to work in traffic. 

It really is such a beautiful road, though, and if I have to be stuck in traffic, 

it's the best place to be. 

A 30-minute commute certainly isn't anything to complain about either. 

Especially since I love my job. 

Yep, and there's no sarcasm in that sentence. 

I truly do love my job. 

I can't help but be SO THANKFUL to the Lord for providing me with this job. 

Jobs aren't exactly plentiful right now, 

and God not only provided me with full-time work that pays our bills, 

but with full-time work that I care about and enjoy. 

Thank you, Jesus. 

So, all that to say, I'm back. 

Back in California. 

Back to work. 

Back to blogging. 

Here's to 2013.
