Wow has it been awhile since I have updated. Still no computer.

It has been sooo busy!! Tim and I are having a great time together here! We have found so many new things in our own city in the last couple of months.. new areas, stores, resteraunts. It's been a really cool adventure here.

I think I have mentioned before of these places they have all over Uijeongbu, where you rent your own little room that has couches and a big screen and you rent a movie and can watch it there for like 8,000Won=$5. Well, Tim and I just discovered this place where you rent your own kareoke room for 15,000Won per hour, and it's like the same thing big couches, big screen and they even have some cool lighting like disco balls. Anyways, we had a BLAST there singing all these different songs, I believe Tim even sang an O-town song to me..All or nothing. =) We ended up staying there 2 hours, but they only charged us for 1...so nice.

Also, we have discovered this store called Homeplus, it's basically a 4 story walmart.. really big. We go there a lot whenever we need something for the apartment.

In the last couple of months, I have re-learned how to crochet and have started a couple of projects for my neice that is due in 2 months.. It gives me something to do when I have free-time.

Tim is still working hard and crazy hours.. He goes back and forth from regular schedule to the couple days on couple days off schedule, it's hard to get used to and be able to sleep well. There are times that he is working everyday and even through 4-day weekends everyone else is geting and then there are times that he will have like 6-8 days off at a time.. It makes it difficult to ever make plans because since he is in communications and works in the main hub he is basically on call. So if someone wants to go up in system he goes into work at a moments notice.

We have been planning our trip back home and hope to leave around July 1st, and be home for a full month. His sister, Ashley, is hoping to come in June to visit so we are super excited for that! We are just so homesick though, can't wait to see everyone this summer...then we will have another year here in korea.

At the moment we are waiting for our command sponsor packet to be approved. Tim says it has made it past the first 5 people to sign it and had like 3-4 more to go then it'll go to yongson or something to the actual office and then back to us. sooo...we'll give it a month. Once that is signed we will hopefuly be able to get the rest of our things here, including our car! yay for that. I will just say, I have had ENOUGH of the taxi drivers here.

Well, it is really late, and I believe my NyQuil has finally kicked in...so nighty night for me.

Hope everyone is doing well.
