Muse:This is Shannon: my friend, my roommate, my future fiance, my everything. We have known each other since 2001 when a mutual friend of ours died. Mike's death brought a lot of friends together that year. And though it wasn't the particularly best of circumstances, that was our beginning. Well, you see, within the tangled web of life in which people cross paths and meet in seemingly ordinary circumstances, our beginning had been building well before we had realized: I used to work with her friend; she used to be roommates with mine. Our paths crossed from time to time after that, and when you cut past all that comes and goes in people's lives during seven years -- the ups & downs, rights & wrongs, good & bad -- you get to where we re-connected. In March, 2008, it was our time... and what a good time it has been!
We've been teaching English in Korea for about a year and a half now. That keeps us busy from Monday to Friday, but on the weekends we get a chance to go out and explore this amazing country. Last weekend we were out in Itaewon, Seoul for our monthly trip to the awesome foreign grocery store, foreign book store, and foreign dinner -- it's the foreigner capital of Korea. We wandered around through some side streets and alleys off the beaten path and I found a cool garage door I though she would look lovely in front of.
