OMG. I could die. Chris has been diligently working behind the scenes trying desperately to reunite us all in Korea. The only way that I felt it even remote feasible would be if the DOD paid for our expenses. Unfortunately, an accompanied remote is hardly an option as we were 150 on "the list" back in May, but have since moved up to 149. Anyway, our only other option was for me to get a job. I applied back in May, but never heard a word. The principal of the school emailed back and forth, but it never seemed to progress beyond that. Fast forward to now--a couple of weeks before I head to Korea for a fabulous rendevous with Chris, a month or so before we end this vacation that we are currently on, a month or so before I am able to access my mail and retrieve any potential job offers--I checked my email only to find a request for a return phone call. I did so and quickly had a phone interview with the principal. OMG. I can't believe this is happening. I had basically written off any possibility of relocating to Korea this year not to mention this summer. I could die. Truly. Chris doesn't even know today's events as of yet. He is going to die, take a deep breath and then proceed to tell me how I can make this happen. How I can arrange movers, terminating the lease on our apartment, returning to MA and moving myself, our dog and two children all the way across the world--ALONE!! Really? OMG. I haven't even completed a stateside PSC with my husband not to mention one by myself or one ACROSS THE WORLD!! Breathe Kara, breathe. Every little thing is gonna be alright....
I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

Chris - your post was really sweet! Military wives/moms are also heros and you are great to remember it (even if you did just recently go to a concert while your wife was driving across the country with a melting down claire!)
