I've come to realize that my blog is quite boring...ha! Therefore to solve this issue, in T-2 days...blog make-over will begin! In the meantime, any tips on how I can get a super cute customized blog page???
XOXO from Korea!

A Groseclose Top 10...to hold you over!! :)
10) We have been suuuuper busy! Between working (B of course with his soldiers, me with their families! ha!)! It seems like some days that we just come home to sleep, get back up and do it all over again!
9) We recently went to dinner with some good couple friends we've met here. The place was called O'Kim's Browhouse! ha! :) I love the name...it's a little Irish and ALOT Korean! (I have pictures...will post soon!) Speaking of dinner, we also tried out this cute little Italian restaurant downtown this past weekend! It felt like we were stepping into a little Italy (Korean style of course)...pictures from both of these nights coming soon!
8) We recently hit our 1 year mark in Korea- 11 July!! So it's all down hill from here!! I'll install a daisypath ticker soon so that we can all count down the months, weeks and days! (The other day B had it down to the hour how long we had left...it had been a rough day! ha!)
7) So the BIG question everyone has been asking us...are you coming home soon?? Well the answer to this is most likely No. Here's a brief explaination...by the time we are able to work our schedules out (with B's training and me building up enough leave to actually make a trip worth while), we wouldn't be able to come home until Christmas. Now as much as we would LOVE to spend the holidays with our dearest family and friends...we will be coming home 6 months after Christmas!! We've also debated the idea of taking a Christmas trip- and yes, the trip is winning. We're hoping to go to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam during the holidays! We feel as though it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit these beautiful lands-heck, it's only a 4 hr plane ride!! Now be honest...would'nt you go too?!?!?
6) My sister is engaged!! (Now, I know that is not a Groseclose announcement...but she is my sister!!) We are very excited for Keri and Tommy!! I have promised her that we can do LOTS of wedding planning via the internet!! I'll keep you posted on all the details (Jodi!) :)
5) We are SO ready for the FALL!! I bet ya'll are too!! We've been hearing about the blazzing temps. back home! It's not quite that hot here on the thermostat...but add the smoggy pollution into the mix and the dreary skies...urgh! Just ugly! Theres only been a handful of days that I have seen puffy blue clouds in the sky...it makes me so excited to just see the carolina blue sky that I would practically do back flips if it would help keep the smoggy polluted days away!!
4) We're thinking of making plans for the Labor Day weekend. We really haven't traveled very far this summer. So we're thinking of going down to Busan-which is the southern most part of the peninsula for the weekend! I've been pricing hotels and we can get a 4 to 5 star hotel for about $200.00 for the entire weekend!! I can't wait to put my feet in the sand again before the summer is over!!
3) Last week I planned a shopping trip with the ladies from my cottage. It was alot of fun. We went to a part of Seoul named Myong-Dong! It's pretty much the brand name shopping capital of Seoul. They had a HUGE 4 story Forever 21 store. Now, I have never stepped foot in this store...I would have not even imagined shopping there-I just never found it to be my style! ha! But this store had some really cute stuff (maybe it was just Korea!), but I found a cute turquoise and cream casual summer dress, cuff bracelett, peacock print wallet and charm necklace all for about 63,000 won (about 55.00 USD)!! Not bad! We also found an H and M, never shopped there before either...but I will defintely be going back! Last but of course not least, we found the Krispy Kreme donut shop!! Lahhhh!!! It was wonderful! They made the right there in the store and everything! It was so wonderful to have a taste of home!
2) Speaking of food! Have you ever craved a Chic Fil A #1 with a Lemonade for FIVE months!!! Well...I'm still praying that a Chic Fil A sandwich is going to fall out of the sky and onto my plate! (And NO I am not pregnant!! ha!)
1) Last but not least of my wondering thoughts tonight...I must share that I am already thinking about the reunion with all my besties when we come home!!! I'm now officially taking ideas for plans...so sound off!! :) I'm ready to start planning our return!! We will definately be home next July for at least a couple of weeks! As we find out more about where the Army is sending us next...*cough Europe cough*!! We're hoping! We'll be taking names for who wants to visit us!! Cause I KNOW that some of ya'll are going to want to come visit Europe!! Another once in a lifetime trip...for sure!!
Well thats a wrap for now!
