I am not posting about Halloween, just ON Halloween. I really have nothing to say about the holiday because I am not dressing up or going to a party. We might hand out candy at our friends' house though.
I have good news: the sink is no longer clogged - we have a new one! A brand new bathroom sink with brand new pipes and it looks marvelous. It may seem weird that I could get that excited about a sink, but our old one was hideous and cracked and mounted to the wall crookedly. So now it's shiny and new and makes the whole bathroom look better. I got a new bathroom rug to go along with the new sink.
Other good news: I am now doing blood draws at the clinic. Yup - I can draw blood. And I don't get queasy. We didn't have a very good clinic week though - sometimes we see some not-so-great stuff, and this week we had some of that. I won't go into details, but I was reminded that I haven't chosen the easiest of professions.
In my LIFE group this week, I had to tell my life story. Everyone in the group gets a chance to do it - you have about an hour and a half to talk about your life and the events that have formed who you are today. This is really interesting, as some folks are close to 60 and have a lot more life experience than some of us younger folks. However, my story has quite a bit of adventure and excitement, so I had fun telling it and I think people enjoyed listening. It is quite cool to go back and think about your life like this and remember things from your past - both the good and bad. I have a few life verses, but the one that is all-encompassing is Psalm 126:2-3: "Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy...the LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." I am so thankful for all of the amazing experiences I have had, the places I've seen, and the phenomenal people I've met. And I think it's good for me to reflect on that from time to time while I live here in Orlando. It's easy to get caught up in the mundane...but that's so BORING! There's plenty of adventure still to be had (even if it is in central Florida)!!!
Happy October 31st, everyone!

I hope you included the damp red couch (that we carried like five miles on our shoulders in your story). Afterall...alot of life in Korea was spent on that damp red couch.
