The sun is shining, the air is clear, the kids are playing nicely in the backyard, Pandora is echoing my favorite station in my empty house, and I have an iced coffee with me. I mean, it doesn't get much better, right? Before I start telling you about our new home (which I'm super excited about) I want to fill you in on what we've been up to in the past month. I have to tell you that the day we left our apartment for the last time wasn't really tough to do. I wasn't sad at all. It felt ... View the Post
Hey, it’s Emily.
Hi guys, remember me? It's Emily. I owe you an update. Or I need to shut the blog down or something, which I'm not going to do, so I'm brewing coffee and I'm going to do the update. I'll try to keep it brief but a lot has happened since my last post so you might want to grab a coffee, or a glass of wine. Whatever you fancy.

The sweetened condensed version.
Greetings from South Korea! We've been here a week already and I still can't believe that I'm not only IN South Korea, but I LIVE in South Korea. Wow. To be honest, the RoK hasn't been treating us so well off the bat. Of course, severe jet lag is to be expected when you jump ahead 14 hours but we weren't expecting the stomach bug that slammed Owen the day after we got here. Alex has been super busy with work already working really crazy hours (that should hopefully change by the end of this ... View the Post
Home away from Home
One of the hardest things about being a military family is all the moving. Every few years, we pack up everything we own less what we stuff into four suitcases and ship it to another state, another country, or into storage. We never really get to plant roots anywhere and we never have to worry about what color to paint the walls or the typical issues homeowners deal with on a regular basis because we're either living in government housing or in a rental house. Since moving away from home we've ... View the Post
