Packing


Will almost all our earthly possessions fit into a 10'X10' room? Time will tell, but I certainly hope so. We've already packed up one of the most challenging areas of the apartment: the study. The many books packed easily but were a chore to carry, and Kyle came over to help me move the bookcases and computer desk.

For the past week or so Katie and I have been trying to pack up and move a little each day. We've already made countless trips between the apartment and the storage unit; good thing it's a distance of only about one mile. After this weekend we'll be shifting things into high gear as we approach the end of our lease agreement on the 29th.

Of all the steps necessary to prepare for the trip to Korea, this is certainly one of most gruelling. There's never anything fun about moving, not even when you're doing so because you're about to have an adventure abroad.

Some exciting news to report: Katie received her passport back from the Korean consulate today, and we were happy to find that it now bears her extended tourist visa. The consulate has informed me that once in Korea, we can go to the immigration office to have her status altered to "dependent".
