Here are some of us with Saroj, who has worked in our home for 3 years and taught me all about surviving in India. She's taught me a little about cooking Indian food and has been a huge help in getting all the housework done. On top of that, she took care of our kids during our first two years when I was also teaching- we will miss having her with us. She has found another job helping a family with a new baby and it will work out better for her to help them, but she was so sad to leave and we are sad to see her go. Thankfully, we hope to see her around next year and maybe she'll come and visit sometimes too. :-)
Today we'll say goodbye to our home for a few weeks too. We're leaving to go on vacation to Korea to visit my cousin and his family. We're looking forward to getting away from our mountain, seeing a new country and culture, spending special time with our family there- (getting to meet little J), enjoying the 4th of July with fellow Americans, and eating Korean and American food!! I'll share some pictures when we return.
