 When we got here 7 months ago (WOW...can you believe we have been here 7 months?!?) I inherited a job of talking on the phone. I started in July, and have been talking to "my people" 3-4 times a week since then.  I speak in English with 5 Korean people for 5 minutes each night.  Two of them are women about my age, and 3 of them are children, ages 11 & 12 (13 & 14 in Korean years).  At first I was a bit intimidated, I mean how do you talk to someone EVERY night when you have no idea what they are about, plus, I have a 12 year old of my own & I know how hard it is to get him to talk sometimes!  Well, everything fell into place and speaking with them each night is actually a joy.  We  laugh so hard on each end that sometimes my husband wonders what I am really doing.  I have had a great time learning about their culture and they have had a good time learning about ours.   It has been two fold, even though I am here to help them with their English, they often times help me with my Korean.  

This past weekend we invited my friend Y. & her family to our house for dinner.  She brought her 2 sons, who both speak pretty good English.  We took them bowling, played WII sports at our house and had Blackened Chicken Pasta for dinner.  I know the BCP is not very "American", but it is our favorite dinner dish.   A great time was shared by all. 

Below is the picture Y wanted me to put on my blog...... 


But here is the real deal....she is so tiny!

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
