my husband John



I first met John in Beeville , Texas...at the common backyard of the address. I was renting the apartment above the garage, and he was living with his mom and brother in the main house but, also used a tiny room as his bedroom located right by the garage area. He had a dog named Bull.

We really didn't talk for a while, he just gave me an uninterested hand wave from the distance as a "hello". . I have to confess I was curious about him.

First attempt for conversation didn't go well. I had run over Bull's plate (of course accidentally) and wanted to let him know and pay for it but, he was not up to discussed it and shortly closed the door on me . What a jerk I thought.

A week after or so, he went to knock at my door and politely asked me if I had plans for the coming weekend ( now he wanted to make it up for his previous rudeness ,I thought) and I had answer :I had no plans (I was anticipating and invitation to have a cup of coffee, ice cream, movies) but , next thing he said was "oh good, then can you feed my dog cause I'll be out of town for the weekend).

what's going on this week

It began just 2 weeks ago:I was in the internet placing an add for my husband John.The add was for the local newspaper (section spanish) saying :"private english classes, call John at" ...etc,etc and, while I was in the process of doing this, I found this webb about teaching english in Korea and the instructions to apply on line. To make the story short and just a couple of weeks later John and I were at the airport saying good bye to each other , with joy and already" missing you" tears in our eyes. He is, as I write this blog on his way to Asia to teach english in Chon-Cheun , Korea for a year !
For sure I am going to miss him a lot , and Ringo our dog too ! but, on the other hand I am very exiting for him, sure it will be a wonderful experience and best of all I am planning to go see him by November-Dec.
