Sorting, Organizing, Packing, and Giving away....

That's what I have been doing lately. We have moved 8 times in 10 years of our marriage (thanks to the Army for that), and still have too much stuff. So, this time, I'm really trying to go through everything. We are allowed to take our households up to 18,000 lbs to Korea, and also store things here paid by the government....the dilemma is what to take and what not to take...

My camera is in the process of repairing(I hope)..Last week, I accidentally dropped my camera on the driveway and the camera view finder popped out..ouch! thankfully it was repairable but it would take 4-6weeks to get it back! I need my camera back soon!!!!!

Well, Gotta get busy again!

By the way, this will be James's new ride in Korea! Apache Longbow Helicopter


James is excited to fly Apache again.

New Chapter in our lives.......

About a month ago, one of James' army friends in Korea told James that there is a government job(Department of Defense civilian position, not military) opening in the military base in Korea where we have lived before we moved to Lynchburg. - it is an Instructor Pilot position (which, what James was doing when he was in the Army-teaching Apache Helicopter pilots). So, we have prayed about it and trusted GOD that He opens the door for us, we will walk through. James submitted his application and we heard back from Korea that James was selected for that position!.

SO WE are moving to Korea !!!! What a great opportunity to go back to my family while the boys are still little..and the U.S.government will pay everything for us to move there for 2-3 years. We are so thankful to God for His timing and His faithfulness.

I know...I still cannot believe that this is really happening! it is a huge answer to my prayers to be able to live closer to my family again for couple years.

Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare to move to Korea in January 2009.

Doing things together....:)

We went to visit family in Maryland over the weekend. We went to Grandmother's lake cabin to clean leaves and close the cabin for winter season. It was cold and windy but boys had so much fun with leaves..literally, they played for hours laughing, running, jumping, helping Daddy to rake leaves and just being boys:)

Next day, we headed to Pappy and Nan's farm for a visit. We had frost on the ground next morning! bbbbrrrrr it was cold!! James took the boys for a walk to the wood and I sat next to a heater and drank hot tea:)!

Priceless smile.........

Washington D.C. Trip back in September

Right before we took my nieces to the airport, went to Washington D.C. and Baltimore Aquarium for the last couple of days. This is way behind but it's better late than never:)


Capital building - we were there around 9:00 a.m. and the tickets were given out for 12:30..so we went to see some other things and came back around 12:30..but the tickets were all gone..so we didn't really get to tour the Capital building..Maybe the next time!

Washington Monument - I love this picture!

It was really hot and we walked a lot but the kids did really well!

Caleb's first poetry recital

Caleb had his first poetry recital about a week ago..they were all so cute!!

Caleb's Poem was

The Caterpillar By Christina Rosetti

Brown and Furry
Caterpillar in a hurry
Take your walk
to the shady leaf or stalk
May no toad spy you
May the little birds pass by you
Spin and die
to live again a butterfly.

He did a great job!
And James and I had fun making his custom!
