Little smiles
I know, been a while. Tons of guest, spring break and more guests. Sigh….
The bank agreed to extend the terms of our line of credit. So instead of two years, they are giving us five. We still don’t have the financial means to pay what they are asking but they said in the end, they will work with us. The Geek just has to make sure he communicates with the bank and show that we are making an effort to pay something. It’s a relief that they are willing to work with us. I guess they’d rather get something than nothing at this point.

Busy, busy , busy. The parents came for a visit. For the first time, I actually enjoyed their company. They were pleasant, loving and not critical at all. I LOVED having them here. In fact, they are looking at buying property here so that we all could have a vacation place. In a few years when the market is better, it would be sold for a profit and it would be split three ways (between me, my sister and brother).

We’re moving again. We just found out last week that the Geek’s rotation schedule is being changed. Atlanta here we come! It’s bittersweet for me because I’ve made Miami my home. I have a few friends not associated with the medical school, I LOVE my gym, I’m familiar with the area and you can’t beat the weather. The beach is ten minutes away and the city is beautiful. But at the same time, I would like the girls to be in a place where their race isn’t emphasized all the time. Duk has told me she wants to be with more Korean people so that kids will stop asking her if she’s Chinese or keep annoying her about it. She loves hanging out with Mama Nabi’s and Papa2 Hapa’s daughters. It’s not like they discuss how Korean they are (they never do), they just hang out, do girls things, kid things and sometimes eat Korean food. 
In any event, we have started packing some of our things and we are taking a road trip up to Georgia next weekend to secure a place and drop off some of our stuff in a storage unit for a couple of months. This is it, I don’t want to move for a while. Please let us be in one place for longer than a year.
The upside is that we are moving to a place where there is a high Asian population. The area has a SUPER H Mart. That’s right, SUPER! I’m thrilled I no longer have to drive 40 minutes to get my fix of Korean food. Duk is excited about the idea of being around people who look more like her. I’m just happy that the Geek will be able to work as an Optometrist on the weekend to bring in a little more income. I also might be able to work part time or full time in the area since there are a lot of Koreans and my Korean ability may be useful. :-p

You’re keeping pace with all my moving. ^^
I know the Korean area of Atlanta a little. My aunt goes down all the time. I wish I lived really close to H Mart. It’s an hour from me, which makes me prone to being too lazy to make the trip, especially with two children. *sigh*
