A letter from the other side of the world


I can't believe it has taken me so long to update everyone on the move! The travel was long. When we finally reached customs 28 hours later... I wasn't sure I could handle anymore. Not to mention the line to get our passports stamped was extremely long for foreigners, Logan had hit his limit of patience and was crying... And the lady behind the counter was being hesitant to let us in because we didn't have our visas yet. (We can be in country for 90 days before we need to obtain a visa) After about 10 minutes she finally stamped our passports with an admitted stamp until Sept 19th :) Woo Hoo!!! We are in!! Next baggage and then finally I got to see my hubby! After a 2 hour taxi ride that cost us $250 (YIKES) we arrived at our new home at 6am Korea time.

Well... Korea is different. :) There isn't any english anywhere! The taxi drivers ... don't know how to drive. The food is waaay different! I haven't got to try much, and truthfully I am excited to try more. I have been here a little over a week, but James has been working so much. I guess more work comes with more success. He is doing such an awesome job though. Hopefully this weekend I will have more adventures to tell you about. So far our only adventure has been our landlord. She is very friendly... and by that i mean always here. At least she can translate for us! Logan is doing good. He has to sleep with us right now because he doesn't have a bed. Our landlord said to just get him a mat to sleep on. Umm... that would be a negative. A- he wouldn't stay on it... And B- I wouldn't want to sleep on the hard floor, so I am not making my child do that either.

Crazy to think it is Tuesday here and Monday back in the states. We may... again I say may... be moving into an apt soon. They are more suited for Americans. I think I would enjoy it a lot more being close to post and by other wives. James is about to go into the field for over a month, so it would be nice to have some friends to hangout with and for other kiddos to play with Logan. We shall see what this week holds for us. Anywho, I have lots of homework to keep my day going. Plus I need to put in a movie for Logan so he doesn't have to watch cartoons in a different language :)

I missed blogging... I hope you all miss reading...
