5 weeks 6 days

Okay, so apparently I haven't updated this thing in entirely too long. It has been a very eventful two months. We're settled into our apartment but still waiting on all of our household goods to get here. I sure hope they get here soon.

Korea is pretty awesome. We have gone to visit a palace since being here. It's the largest palace in South Korea. I believe it's called Cheongdung. Or something like that. I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures on here.

We found a few really good restaurants around here. We went to this amazing place in Seoul the same day that we went to the palace. Actually, we didn't find it. We went to Seoul with two Katusas that Mike knows. Katusas are Koreans that are apart of the American military for two years. It's mandatory to serve two years in the military in Korea unless you're married or have kids. It's easier for them to serve in our military and they get to learn better English and things like that. They were kind enough to show us around Seoul and order us some real Korean food and explain what it all was. I think the best thing we ate was Spicy bulgogi and rice with seaweed wrapper/paper things. It was very yummy.

Mike's captain asked me to be the FRG leader for our company. FRG is Family Readiness Group. Basically it's support and information for spouses, fund raising and company trips/events. That sort of thing. It should be pretty good, I'm hoping that I have enough time to dedicate to it.

I've been applying for jobs as well, I'm hoping to get hired at the new school that's opening on post.

I decided that I needed a puppy to keep me company at home. I found one on craigslist that was free! They said he's a maltese/yorkie mix but we are thinking maltese/schnauzer or maltese/poodle. We aren't sure. He's 10 months old and his name is chopper! He has separation anxiety so we decided to get him a friend...well...Mike really wanted a dog after I got mine. He got a little brown Newfoundland. It won't be small for long! Right now he looks like a small bear cub but he's going to get to be about 120-150lbs!! He's going to be one massive dog. He absolutely loves water! He's too cute when you spray him with the hose!

The best thing that has happened while we're here is that we found out two days ago that we're having a baby! We are so excited and can't wait to meet our little one. I'm currently about 5 weeks 6 days but I'm thinking that's a little bit off. I go in today to do some paperwork and get bloodwork done. At least I think that's what's going to happen. I haven't really had many symptoms except that I'm extremely tired and a little nauseous. I'm especially nauseated when I have to clean up puppy poops. Haha. We'll be sure to keep you all posted on our progress and pictures as soon as I can figure out how to put them up!
