To Korea We Will Go!

 So much has happened the last couple of months and I feel like time is going by so quickly! Our most exciting news is that we are going to be headed to Korea! Our tentative timeline is August 22 Alex graduates from Flight School (hooray!!!) then the day after we plan to fly home for a couple of weeks to visit, then head to our new home in Korea, which Alex must report to by September 22nd! There are so many things we have yet to find out and the process changes from day to day. We won't know which duty station in Korea we will be going, either the largest post, Camp Humphreys, or the smaller K-16 which is closest to Seoul. We must ship most of our household items 60 days in advance, so in about a month we will be packing up the house! We also must find housing, once we get to Korea we hopefully will be able to find something we like within a couple of weeks (I don't know if this is wishful thinking or not!). It will more than likely be a high rise apartment, as that is mainly the only type of housing available. I am still waiting on my "command sponsorship" which will allow me to travel with Alex to Korea, and it also allows us to ship more of our household items. I already have my government issued passport required to be able to live in Korea, so right now, we're just waiting for paperwork to be approved! We are both so excited about this new adventure, and looking forward to learning all sorts of new things while we are stationed there! It truly wasn't at all where we thought we would be going, since it wasn't even on the list of possible options to choose from for the aircraft Alex flies, but we know this is a blessing in disguise as it will allow us to be together more since it is considered a "deployment" and hopefully Alex will be able to get plenty of practice flying!

This entry's recipe is another pinterest find! Loaded Potato Buffalo Chicken Casserole! It's not the healthiest, but it was a big hit with my Meals on Wales customers and Alex (who typically does not like spicy food, but approved of this dish) Here is the link to the recipe: http://cooklisacook.blogspot.ca/2012/03/loaded-potato-buffalo-chicken-casserole.html
