Vinca - Blue Periwinkle

Vinca, native to Spain and southern France, grows in Suwanee on a small section of hill that our house sits on. It holds down the red Georgia clay and delights us with gems like this one.

Darcy accepted position in S. Korea

On April 26th Darcy sent out the following message:
Dear Family and Friends,

I am thrilled to announce that I have accepted a job teaching English in Korea! I've been planning to do this for a long time and I've finally received and accepted what I think is a good offer. My airfare and housing and 50% health insurance is covered by the school, in addition to a decent salary. My contract lasts 1 year and hopefully I'll pick up some Korean before then. I will begin at the end of June.

I appreciate the support I've received from you all in making this decision. I've always wanted to travel and use my talents and serve others and I feel really good about moving to Korea. This will be an important step in my personal growth as well as my career development.

I will be living in city near Seoul, called Pangyo; all of my friends who lived in Seoul ensure me it's a very nice area. I will be about 75 minutes via subway from the English branch, and about 90 minutes from the temple and there's a Korean branch in my city as well, not to mention the military branch nearby. I've already made contacts with the young single adults in Seoul and I have 5 Korean friends from my graduate program all moving back to Seoul this summer so I've been richly blessed.

I'm currently taking bets on whether I will marry a wonderful Korean guy or meet a gorgeous man in the military branch.

Darcy
