First things first, I am an auntie!!!! =) Sooo excited about this. Margaret gave birth to her first child, Elena Lupita Howell on April 20th at 9:55 A.M. She is 7lb 12 oz, 21in long. She is just so precious and beautiful! I cannot wait to meet her in July!! It's really quite frustrating only being able to see pictures of her.
Tim and I have been quite busy lately. He's been working almost every day for the last 12 days..the beginning of last week he had warrior stakes on mon-tue, it's a huge competition between all the companies at CRC to challenge them physically, he had several different races and ruck marches. So, that just drained his energy completely. Then he had to work shift the rest of the week and now this week he's started softball practice.
I've been busy trying to keep him happy, and take care of things. We just got our guest bed so I've been trying to get that room ready for Ashley's visit next month. I'm teaching myself some new recipes as well, tonight I'm going to make adobo, it's a filipino dish, kind of like stew.
It's amazing just how hard it is to keep up with house work, I'll be cleaning all day long and it'll seem that I haven't gotten much accomplished at all! How irritating is that? I try though...
Other then all that, we are trying to get things set in place for our visit home, Tim's leave packet has made it to quite a few people to be signed, I think only 2 more people need to sign their approval and we'll be good, not sure what we have to do once that's done..I guess just purchase our plane tickets! I really wish I could have done that a long time ago though because fare prices have gone up $200.
Our Command Sponsor paperwork keeps coming back to us!! Tim just took it to captain King this time and asked her what all needed to be finished because it gets to S1 and they look at it and tell us one thing at a time that isn't finished correctly and send it back, so it's like everyweek we are geting it back and have to make changes then send it to them just for them to send it right back. Anyways, King just wrote down everything she saw was wrong and Tim now just has to take it to the people that didn't finish filling out whatever areas. Ugh, people are so frustrating.. I just want it to be done so that I can get the rest of our belongings moved here finaly!
Well, I would love to update more but I really have a lot to get done today so I better get to it!

Hey Everyone, I had a little time to kill before I have to run errands.. so just wanted to give some updates!
Tim and I are doing wonderful here in korea, we have found some really great places to shop and eat. In fact, there is a ribs place we go to just about every week now! The food is awesome! We get to grill our own ribs and they bring out sides of vegetables and a macaroni/crab salad, this really good vegetable soup, it's really spicy but we have gotten used to spicey since moving here =). The owners there have memorized what we eat so we don't even have to order anymore!
We FINALY got our command sponsor paperwork in! I think I told you we already did earlier, but it came back to us saying I had to get a checkup at the TMC to make sure I wasn't retarded. That was really frustrating, and they tried sending it back another time saying some information was wrong, but it was stuff that we hadn't even filled out it had to be someone at the office there. So anyways, everythings taken care of and hopefuly they will just approve the darn thing already!
We've been looking into geting a car here, it's one of the things we are permited here. We were just going to have Tim's car sent here but we would have to pay for that and it would cost us in the thousands, so it doesn't make any sense when I was going to buy a car soon anyways and they will send it home for free. I've already contacted someone who had put an ad in the stars and stripes paper.. so we're waiting on that info. I'm really excited to get a car! I am so sick of cab drivers and them ripping us off, never knowing if they are going to take us where we want to go!
Oh, and we got a computer!!! It's really nice, HP.. I don't really know much about it, Tim's the one that picked it out but he said the storage on there is good size, graphics are great and it's really fast. we got a monitor to go with it for pretty cheap too. I'm pretty sure we bought this for cheaper then what our laptop was! And this one is so much better..so I am happy. =)
One thing I have done here, is learned to cook! haha! I must say.. I'm pretty amazing. =) I found this chili recipe that is exquisite! Tim's favorite is my fried tacos, it's probably the least healthy thing on earth! I am so excited that it is warming up now! I am hoping to grill soon, maybe on easter?
Wow, it is almost easter.. Margaret is supposed to have her baby next week!! I can't even believe how soon that is!!! I have been spoiling that child way too much though, and I am going to keep on spoiling her! Haha I love being an aunt.
Okay, well I really need to get going now, get some stuff done!
More later.
