T Minus 139 Days!

Until we are back in the good ole' US of A! Now, don't get me wrong. Korea has been a fabulous experience, better than fabulous, in all honesty I'd say life changing sums it up quite well. B and I have experienced so much growth both professionally and personally throughout this experience, and to say that we see the world through different eyes now is an understatement. Anyone who would ever ask me about moving with the military to Korea, or just in general visiting Korea, you would be certain to not get the scrunched face/nose look with the reply of "thats a 3rd world country...your out of your mind!"

 But today, Korea is not the topic of this post, this post is intended to for me to list a few things I am missing about the states and can.not.wait to get back too. So without futher ado here goes...

1) Houses, with yards. Grass and freshly planted flowers to be exact. B and I were talking this weekend about what he misses about the states and how we are SO not apartment people. My poor hubby will be so excited to get back behind a lawnmower, complete with bag mulcher of course, to trim the edges of the grass, and even to place the perfectly measured diagonal lines. (We won't tell him that our next duty station in AZ is in the desert!!)

2) Farmer's Markets. Nuff' Said. If you know anything about the produce selection in the commissary's (bless their hearts) here in Korea, you know what I'm talking about. 

3) In Store Shopping. Can I get a fitting room please?? Don't get me wrong, online is okay. But being here you have to calculate the shipping time and it is much more than the typical 2 to 4 days. Oh, and not every company ships to APO...

4) Worship. Sunday School. Small Groups. The chapel we attend here on post has a fabulous little service, and it has really pulled us through some tough weeks, and some great weeks. But, we are both really looking foward to getting back into a church with typical programming, and I am SO hoping to find a group of women for a women's weekly Bible study.

5) Friends and Family. With a 14 hr time difference (EST), and 17 hour plane ride. Long distance relationships are tough.

Just some thoughts on this bea-uti-ful Wednesday! I pray that the weather stays this nice for the next 3 weeks, our BN needs it! :) T-17 days until field exercise #4 and it's the, final 4 is complete in Korea!

XOXO from Korea!
