Luke and I have gotten to spend a lot of quality time at home together since we've been here. I never thought that putting a train set together could be so therapeutic, but boy was I wrong! We had so much fun putting his set together and playing all afternoon. It literally takes up the entire floor, so lots of fun!! I couldn't resist the picture of him sleeping with several of his trains!
Sydney has now been attending Osan Elementary school for 2 weeks now. She claims she hates school now, but i'm sure it's just adjusting to yet ANOTHER school. This has been the 3rd in one year. I know she's making lots of friends since everybody knows her name on the walk home!! She's my social butterfly and I know she's going to be just fine. The far picture is our tower, and we are on the VERY top!! You don't see a stop sign in America like this, huh???
We have been inducted into the 36th Fighter Squadron (The Fiends & Fiendettes), by attending our first "SHOW". A Show is a monthly event where the pilots put on their red party suits, sing songs (not church songs), tell stories about each other, and name new pilots. David was a fly on the wall this time, since he is the "FNG". He will get to be an active participant next month when he gets his name. The wives also have a party suit that is a little bit cuter than the blazing red flight suits. I will also get named, but in a much more friendly female environment! We had a great time and look forward to our tour with the Fiends!!! Harrumph!!!
Many of you have complimented me on my music I have for our blog, thank you for that. I purposely went and rearranged my songs so that the first song would be, 'Praise you in this storm'. Our life has been one big storm since we arrived at Osan. Thank you to all who have been praying for us constantly, we have felt your prayers. It would take a novel to explain what all we've endured, but God has been faithful and we believe he has finally brought some peace in our life. I will give the short version, many of you have already heard it, but I know some have asked, so I will give the modified version. We initially asked to be command sponsored (2 year gig with family), but were turned down. So we decided to come non-sponsored and live off base (not a good choice), but better than being away from each other. We lived at Turimi Lodge for for 10 days, ran out of our time there and were told by SQ. commander that it would be 3-4 months before we could get sponsored. My friend Cammy hooked us up with a landlord and we quickly accepted an apartment off base (thanks Cammy). We quickly set up shop and tried to make it a home, lived there 7 days and had not signed a lease. The day we went to go sign the lease, SQ. commander calls and says they have a CSP billet for us if we want it. So, after hours of discussing if we wanted to live on the ROK for 2 years versus one, we accept. (One year would be plenty for me over here!!) We then have to let the landlord know we are moving on base, get out of the lease, pay a ton of money, and then happily move on base to "Little America". So, we again grab our stuff and go set up shop on base. So, in the last 2 months we have set up shop in 5 different locations! UGH! Makes me tired reliving it again!! The pictures of the kids are at Turimi hanging out in our tiny hotel room (trying not to kill each other, and me not killing them!)
I'm still trying to figure out why they gave us a pair of wool socks, but I guess I didn't know I was going to the land of the not quite right!!!
