The cold month of December

I have been super busy this past month but now it is December and I have hardly any classes at school. As I type this post there are student sitting in my classroom studying for their final exams next week. I will have next week off from class but still at school, the joys of desk warming.

This December I am hoping to finish my crochet blanket I started last month, with all my free time this should be possible...  In the past two days at school I have done another 6 rows. Its now starting to look too big to be a scarf.

We are planning a trip to the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ). This is a strip of land that separates North and South Korea. The DMZ was formed in 1953 when the ceasefire was signed ending active hostilities in the Korean War. The war never officially ended so each side is heavily guarded and the DMZ is the only Cold War border still in existence. More about the DMZ when we visit it in a few weeks. 

I also hope to see snow for the first time in my life ***

We are planning a skiing or snowboarding trip soon so I have no doubt I will see snow. I'm a little nervous I cant snowboard, but I have heard its similar to skateboarding. Anyway whether I get it right or fall on my face I think it will be a blast.

Maybe I can tick this off my bucket list...

I will  be experiencing my first Christmas away from home, Christmas is always a big family day for us. All the family gather and try to put all of their many differences aside and have a wonderful day! Also Christmas is Summer in South Africa so a white Christmas might make up for the lack of family this year.

I will have to skype to be part of the action! :) 

Miss my little famdamily!  

December has just begun, this is my first December where I'm not on the beach but in the office, Not in summer but freezing my ass off in Winter, which apparently has not yet properly arrived. But anyway, hopefully every other December from here on is in the sun and on the beach!
