Colt finally made it to Korea after 20 hours of flying time, 4 stops, and almost 60 hours of total traveling time he arrived. They landed at an air force base in Seoul, Korea with 52 other soldiers and some of there family members. Last night he stayed in a very nice hotel on base and ate a Subway dinner! When he landed it was snowing and as of now it is 10 degrees there. Thankfully none of his luggage was lost and he is just thankful to be out of the plane!
He said the jet lag hasn't been too bad because they slept all night on the plane, and then when they landed in Korea it was morning. So far he is doing fine and starts processing today. Within one week they will transport him to his actual duty station at Camp Casey.
The hardest thing we have experienced so far is the time difference. But with a lot of selflessness, and less sleep, we have finally figured a schedule out. Korea is a 14 hour time difference from Georgia so when it is morning here it is night there. So I wake up at 6am every morning to talk to Colt on skype at 8 pm in Korea. Then he wakes up at 6am the next day to talk to me on skype at 4pm in Georgia. So it has finally happened...I have become a morning person! =)

Lauren,
ReplyDeleteYour words are definitely inspirational. Reading your words bring all the feelings i seem to hide away to help stay strong poring into my heart & bring tears to my eyes. My love for Jose grows stronger with every day that passes. Although its hard i feel the distance only makes our love deeper.
You are such a strong woman & i love the way you include God this reminds me how much i long to be part of a church family again. God plays the biggest part in helping us stay strong, live healthy,& deliver us from all the temptations being alone can bring. Also to help me raise my baby girl the right way, to remember what comes first,& what is most important.
