Former flight attendant/ESL teacher now traveling the country as an education consultant with iPhone camera at the ready. I love to learn new things and share new experiences, and still think cruising along in a jet at 35,000 feet is the greatest E-ticket ride of all. My husband and I live in Texas, with grown kids in Utah, Texas, New York, and South Korea. We believe in faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie dust.

March 31, 2013 (Sunday) — Gwangju
With only a week to go before the big trip to Korea to pick up my missionary daughter, I was faced with her question, “Where do you want to go on our extra day? Gyeongju or Jeju?”
I googled Gyeongju and learned it was a national historic park, a living history museum of traditional Korean folk villages and Buddhist temples. Very cool. Then I googled Jeju (see above).
No contest. As my daughter would say, “What up!!! Jeju, son!”
From my daughter HannahHurtful: A survey for her tumblr followers!
My daughter is a missionary in Korea. She doesn’t have access to tumblr there, so she asked me to post a little survey on her tumblr for her followers. It’s SO Hannah.
hannahhurtfulHello, tumblr followers!!
This is Sister Hurt (via my mom). This week I passed my halfway mark on my mission. It’s crazy! I’m so thankful for your support and love via tumblr. Even though I can’t see you, I’m pretty sure someone’s there and I wanted to get to know you. So please check out this survey and reply!Thank you!
- Are you investigating the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints? (meeting with missionaries, etc.)
- Do you want to investigate the Church? (learn about it via missionaries like me!)
- Are you a recent convert to the Church? (past 5 years or so?)
- Are you considering serving a mission? (I’m particularly hoping there are some sisters who respond to this!)
- Are you preparing to serve a mission?
- Are you preparing to serve a mission in Korea?
- Are you a return missionary? (and did you serve in Korea?)
- Are you Korean?
I want to get to know you and hear your stories!! I’m having my mom post this and she’ll tell me your replies in one week! Thanks again and I’ll talk to y’all in 9 months :)
Jump pic!

My daughter Hannah has a jump shot taken of herself everywhere she goes. Here she is in Suwon, South Korea.
…paint with all the colors of the wind… (cherry blossoms in Korea)
My daughter Hannah in Korea. I’m so happy she’s happy!
My daughter Hannah went to EVERLAND!!!!
From her email:
“That’s right brothers and sisters, I did it. I went to Korea on my mission and I found the closest thing to Disney I could. I’d call this mission a success (but for other reasons, hehe).
We had to get special permission from President because one of our investigators wanted to take us. And she knew a cast member so she got us in for free!!! Lulz! They call them cast members and guests there, too. I know this because there were English signs. Practically everything was in English.
I took a million pics, don’t worry ^^ The only contingency from Pres was to not ride anything dangerous. We barely rode anything at all because there were so many people but I’m not even mad! It’s the smells and music and the atmosphere I wanted to see. The reason there were so many people is because today is a national holiday… Buddha’s birthday! Happy birthday, Buddha!”

Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival April 7, 2012 Part 2
Looking for the stream lined with cherry blossoms.
I hope Hannah is starting to see cherry blossoms where she is serving in Singal, Korea.

I love this blog. It helps me imagine what my daughter is seeing every day in Korea.
Pre-ordered the Doctor Who 2011 Christmas special for you-know-who’s growing media pile.
