It has rained all day today- nice, in a way. It’s provided a break from the heat. Yes, it does get quite hot in the Republic of Korea. The rain here reminds me, very much so, of the rain we get back home in Tennessee- hard. The main difference is that the rain here is relentless… when it rain, it sets in for the duration of the day.
You may not know this, but Dang went to visit her family in the south of Thailand a few days ago. And, she is due to arrive back in Bangkok today. I’ve thought of her all day long as she has traveled. When you love someone, you worry. I’m sitting here hoping that she had a good trip, but also, more importantly, a safe trip. Get home safe, my Love.
I have spent much of the weekend preparing for my vacation, which starts July 26th. I will be flying to Thailand then for a week with my soon-to-be wife (she will be my wife when I return to Korea). I find that I am both excited and nervous.
I feel as if I am moving toward the moment that I’ve waited for my whole life…. the moment that I was created for. This will be the pinnacle of the crescendo of my life to this point. It feels like it is the most important thing I’ve ever done. Because of that feeling (the feeling of history in the making for me), I’m a bit of a mess.
There is nothing in the whole of the world that I desire more than to be Dang’s husband, but there is also no thought that frightens me more. I’ve never been a husband before. Never have I been entrusted with so much- her well-being and her happiness. Will I be the sort of man for her that she deserves? Will I add to her life, rather than her burden? Oh, I do hope I am good for her. If I am, can I maintain that for the rest of my life? These are the things that I am thinking and worrying about. I want to be…. more.
The upcoming week looks rather busy. I have my normal duties as a teacher, which keep me hopelessly busy; but, I also have getting ready for Thailand. Laundry has to be completed early, for I need clean clothes when I come back for school. Bags have to be packed. Documents have to be gathered. A trip to the bank has to be made…. etc, etc, etc.
Although, it’s going to be busy, I also think it’s going to be exciting- with some fun mixed in. Well, let’s go!!!! Time to get ready for a big week, followed by an even bigger week.
