TGIF!
After 35 days in the academy, Den graduated on Wednesday October 28. I would have to say everyone had a great time!
Mandy arrived in South Korea on Wednesday as well. I was pretty nervous after 20 hours went by and I didn't hear from her, but finally she was able to get an e-mail to me. She was a little overwhelmed coming from the little town of Valdosta to a big city like Seoul but she adapts quickly. She moves into her (small) apartment on Saturday. She has been staying at a hotel and attempting to learn the bus system. She started work the day after she arrived and really likes it. They had a Halloween party yesterday for the kids. I am dying to talk to her on the phone!
Yesterday (Thursday), I received my second call from Troy! He sounds fantastic! He said the food isn't bad at all and he has been sleeping really good. He said they are doing a lot of marching and they were issued all their equipment and guns. They don't get to call very often so I was super excited to hear from him.
The last couple days of October brings Halloween activities for the squadron and with friends. As for November, my parents arrive the second week and stay around 14 days. Den and I are planning the squadron Thanksgiving dinner again this year and we will be preparing to move.
Have a great weekend!
TAKE LIFE AS IT COMES
