This year was surprising in so many amazing ways. I never could have predicted that this year's highlights would contain half of the things it does. In 2015 I... ...started the year as a teacher in Korea. I made amazing friends and loved going into Seoul almost every weekend to meet up with them. I also learned quite a bit through my job. ...moved to Austin, a place I NEVER thought I would live. ...finally started volunteering at an animal shelter after years of saying I wanted to, but not following through. ...adopted Mochi and Pekoe!

They've transitioned to the move pretty well, although the first couple days saw two terrified kitties hiding in my closet.
