3 Weeks In

So today marks 3 weeks that I've been here. It feels like a lot longer to be honest. I wish I had great adventures and pictures to share...but the only thing I've been up to is working, tossing and turning all night, giving all my money to cab drivers, peeing every 15 minutes, and sometimes spending a little time with my husband. He's had to be away at work/PT/training from 5:00pm-8:00ish am. I leave for work around 7:30am so I really only see him for about an hour after he wakes up and I cook "dinner" and send him off to work. I'm left at home alone and a little sad. Things will be this way until April 1st. :(
I really shouldn't complain. I need to look at all my blessings and remind myself on a constant bases. I'm SO glad to be here with my husband. It's not easy being able to get command sponsorship to come to Korea and it's the biggest blessing in the world. I'm also extremely blessed to have a job. There are so many spouses and people looking for jobs. I don't know how I got so lucky. I really like my job so far. My boss is so lovely. She's sweet, understanding, and perky! I like everyone else too :) I can tell the next 2 or 3 years with them will be really fun. It's a smaller work environment than at Leavenworth (employee wise) so I will have to get used to that. I think my favorite thing about my job so far is that I have my own desk and own office supplies! Haha! It's the little things. I'll be able to hang pictures of Tyson soon.

Less than 8 weeks. I can't believe how the time has flown. All day I can feel him kicking, pulling on my ribs (feels like it) and hiccuping. I just ordered his stroller and other important things we'll need online. I can't wait to get it all. It's a little unsettling knowing his nursery isn't done....okay even started, I don't have an OB here yet, or that we don't have a middle name for him. I feel so unprepared...and a little of a failure to him.

On a better note I'm excited to share that our first shipment of household goods arrived! All my cooking spices, baby stuff, Tim's army equipment, my juicer, and our desktop arrived today! I'm so grateful it's beginning to feel like home.

AND.....

We FINALLY were able to borrow a dryer from housing. You should see this thing in action!!! It's the most high-tech dryer I've ever seen in my life. Drys super fast too. I'm so glad I don't have to pay $10 to get to and from base hauling all my laundry anymore! Woohoo!


Things are going to get easier. It's just hard settling in. As soon as our car arrives we will be saving a TON of money and we can get out and explore! 

I did get to go to AK Plaza with my friend Betty the other night. So much fun! She took me to dinner as well at a place called "Krazy Burger." They make custom burgers. Really yummy! AK plaza is a huge 12-story building that is just one big mall/department store. On each level it has a different department (babies & kids, housewares, etc.) It's truly amazing and only about 15 minutes from my house. There is a ton of shopping right outside up and down the streets as well (even a scary street called "1000won alley" for "lady" shopping if you know what I mean. As I squinted way down that street I could make out women standing in pink neon lit windows barely wearing anything....I'm not going to lie I was really freaked out! Anyways, while we were at AK plaza I had to stop and get Baskin Robbins ice cream and snapped a photo of their ice cream cake window. Incredible.....
