It's beginning to look like home

I received a few pictures from my husband last night, he wanted to show me what he had purchased at the grocery store. Now, for those of you who know us well, you know I can be somewhat of a "power" shopper. If I find an item and I like it, say like a pair of shoes, I have been known from time to time to buy every color they have in that style/size.

My husband is a "power" shopper in his own right, however he seems to channel this gift for buying groceries. So, when he told me he was heading to the store to stock his pantry and refrigerator I already knew he would come home with a supply of food items, which would last him through the Armageddon.

The pictures don't lie, he has enough Hamburger Helper, spaghetti sauce, yellow rice, V8 juice to last him 3 months, and that would be if he ate it on multiple days throughout the week. The plus side, I see he has paid attention to the brands we eat as the contents in his pantry and refrigerator look alot like ours!

Korea Bound

We knew it was going to happen, but somehow we thought the time would pass by slower...alas it caught up with us and the result "B" is Korea bound. We headed out to the airport bright and early 0530 to be exact on Mothers Day. His flight took off around 9:15am and minus a connection flight in Atlanta, he was slated to arrive in Seoul in (14) short -not- hours.

We have had the opportunity to speak with him, and I got the low down on his flight. The plane was hot and had no air vents over the passengers seats. He was seated in a window seat, which just happen to be on the side of the plane that the SUN was beating down on! He managed to shove his inflight pillow between the window and the shade in an effort to create some type of insulation barrier in hopes he could stop the roasting and actually gain a few hours of sleep.

He arrived into Seoul around 4:30pm their time ( they are 14 hours ahead) and was greeted by some of his new office peers. Right now he is staying in the lodge located on the post, and he will be spending the bulk of this week in processing before he is assigned permanent quarters and required to head off to work.

So today we begin the "official" countdown till mid-tour that is roughly 220 days away!
