Life has been super busy over here in the ROK. We have been spending our weekends traveling, hanging out with friends, cooking out, and just plain ole’ relaxing!
Last weekend Colt completed the Manchu Mile. This is an annual march that all guys in Manchu 2-9 participate in. The guys started Thursday afternoon between 4pm-5pm and marched until 5am Friday morning. The march is a total of 25 miles. Colts Company (Baker Company) was the only company to complete the march with NO GUYS falling out. I was very proud of my husband and his company.
Now that we are coming up on our six month mark of being in Korea we received a list of all the available duty stations we could go to next. We had to make a decision over the weekend of which duty station we wanted to try and get on the list. We couldn't decide between Ft. Campbell, KY and Ft. Stewart, GA so we emailed the guy back and told him we would go with either or. Both are very close to home and both have equal pros and cons. So, in the next couple of months we should know where we will be stationed next! I'm very nervous/excited to find out.
I can’t believe July 3rd we will only have six months left in Korea! Time is flying by and I am so thankful for the changes God has been doing in my life. Throughout my time in Korea God has been revealing to me things about my life, past, and future. I have done tons of self-observation and God is slowly starting to refine me even more than He already has. God also answered our prayers by finally allowing us to find a church home here in Korea that we truly love. I couldn’t be more thankful.
I am truly amazed at the way God works. He puts the puzzle pieces of life together in perfectly. In only 3 short months He has put wonderful people in our lives and allowed us to cross paths with other believers. Also, God has opened up amazing opportunities and learning experiences for me here in Korea.
Two of these opportunists include jobs! About a month after I arrived in Korea I found a wonderful full-time nanny job for a dual military couple. I watch their son, Jackson, Monday-Friday from 5:30am-5:30pm. I am so thankful for the job and love the family I nanny for. I was so thankful for this job and didn’t realize that God was going to bless me yet again. A couple of weeks ago I got my hair done by an amazing hair dresser here in Korea. She has an adorable salon, wonderful personality, tons of experience and we just clicked! She was so impressed by my previous salon experience and apprenticeship that she offered me a job as her Salon Coordinator. So now I not only nanny Mon-Friday but I also work Tuesday and Thursdays and Grey's Hair Studio.
I cannot explain how amazing it feels to be back in the salon. I LOVE planning, scheduling, organizing, interacting with the clients, being creative, brow waxing, and having my arms elbow deep in color. I have missed the atmosphere, fun, and people so much! Not only did God bless me with this second job, but the opportunity to meet wonderful people at the salon.
An example of how God fits the pieces together perfectly: When I first meet Grey I went to her Salon to get my hair done. Not only did she offer me a job, but her husband is the chaplain at Camp Hoovey. Through her and her husband we found our new church home here in Korea and I joined the bible study she leads on Wednesdays! So man doors opened up that day when I sat in her chair and I couldn’t be more thankful.
Overall, life is great here in Korea! I am excited about the next six months, but I am defiantly excited about getting back to the states as well!
