Working on my Korean

I have been working on learning Korean over the past few months but really only started a big effort yesterday. I had been using iPhone Apps, I have a few but so far most like this one: http://www.codegent.com/apps/mobile/learn/korean/. Well yesterday my Elementary Korean book came in the mail so I started in on the first chapter and 30 flashcards later I feel like I am making progress. I have come up with ridiculous ways of remembering words, but hey it works for me, here is an example:
Please / boo ta kam ni da. For the life of me I could not remember this consistently. Until I started thinking ok boo, like boo I scared you, Please don't scare me. Please = boo. And once I remember the boo the word comes to me. Ridiculous I know, a peek into my weird mind :)
When we get Grayson home he will probably be around 18 months so he will understand a lot of Korean (and no English) so I am trying to learn all that I can! My goal is to study Korean one hour a day/ five days a week. Not looking forward to lesson three which is the Korean written alphabet, Hangul.
One of the good things (the only?) about the very long wait is that it has given me time to really research Korean adoption and adoption in general. After reading the adult Korean adoptee blogs I feel like I will be a better adoptive parent. I have also researched and learned more about transracial adoption and Korea in general. If the adoption had only taken six months (as opposed to closing in on two years) I never would have had the time to all of this. So thanks for that Korean MOHW but I think we can get this show on the road now :)

EP Approved!!!!!

EP APPROVED!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY. So so so happy. I got an e-mail from our agency this morning letting us know that our EP has been approved. I am so happy (but sad for those submitted with us who weren't, I DO NOT understand how this process can be so RANDOM!)
I hope that our agency, SWS, gets us submitted to court very quickly. I am so ready to have my little boy home!!
Now everyone say with me, "Tuesday Judge, Tuesday Judge, Tuesday Judge..." This is the fastest Judge and their can be four-five months difference between them. That is the four to six months of my sons toddlerhood I would miss, so a pretty big deal!
