Just finished my Calculus 1 class! Final Grade is a 91%! Now I just have to complete Physics w/ Lab and Calculus 2 and I'll be GTG!
This Friday, I'll be sewing on Staff Sgt (wooooohoo!). Lots of exciting stuff going on.
Lots of sad stuff going on too, though...
Several of our best friends are PCS'ing soon. Daniel, Mat, Keith, and Jay are leaving us in July/August, and then we're losing Nathan and Chris in November. Keep our Praise and Worship team in your prayers as we make these tough transitions.

18 July 2011
Last post was in March... doing great with this blog thing. haha.
To catch up since March...
Elijah turned 2 yrs old in April. Riley turned 5 yrs old in May. I turned 27 in July (finally caught up with Emilee.. haha).
We left for mid-tour to NC on June 8th. We arrived in ATL, GA in enough time to watch our flight to Asheville leave the ground (many thanks to Delta in Tokyo, Japan having computer issues that caused a delay in our boarding time). We wait a few hours at ATL for them to send us to Charlotte, and then back to Asheville.
When we landed, Susan and David and Danielle greeted us at the airport. I finally saw my truck with the new tri-fold tonneau cover on it (looks and works great!). The cover came in extra handy because it rained quite a bit while we were traveling back and forth.
The first day we were in NC, we upgraded our phones to the new I-Phone 4's and we've really enjoyed them except for the fact that we can't really use them a whole lot in Korea (unless we're in a location where there is Wi-Fi). However, they're great phones to have in the states and such.
We get to Andrews and see my mom, dad, and sister for the first time in a year and a half. Carleigh's grown a LOT into a beautiful young lady!
The next week, we go on vacation together to Pigeon Forge, TN and have a blast. Christie (my oldest sister) brought my nieces and nephew over for a few days to spend with our kids as well.
We spent another week in Andrews and then we head back to Brevard to spend a couple weeks with Emilee's parents. While Em and Susie went shopping, David and I spent a lot of time outside working in the yard or watching the kids play in the pool or drive around on their little vehicles. On the Fourth of July, they hosted a birthday party for me and we had a blast! We also went to church in July with Danielle to Trinity Baptist in Asheville. We ate lunch with Galen and Natasha Goodrum and their children. We also went one day to Cartersville and spent some time with Kristin Gray, Josh Lummus and his girlfriend, and the Stephen family. All in all, we had a great trip and can't wait to get back to spend more time with our families...
Upon our return to Osan AB, Emilee went back to work on Friday and I returned to work on Monday. Everyone was excited to see us back. Monday night, Emilee ended up in the ER with back and side pains.. it turned out to be gallstones, so they decided to remove her gallbladder on Tuesday at noon, so I was out of work Tues and Wed with her. She is out for a couple weeks of work and no driving during that time. She is also not able to lift more than 5 lbs for the next 6 weeks (it's killing her because she wants to hold Elijah so bad).
So for now, I've been dropping off and picking up Elijah at Daycare, and also trying to help out in the house as much as possible. Church has been going great (though Emilee can't sing for a couple weeks). I've completed my Trigonometry course as well as my Chemistry w/ Lab course through American Military University, and am currently taking Physics w/ Lab and finishing up Calculus 1 online this week. I will be starting Calc 2 online August 1st. I start applying for AECP this Fall to go to NC State for Computer Engineering starting Fall 2012 (keeping our fingers crossed and praying hard). I sew on Staff Sergeant August 1st as well and am excited about continuing our career in the Air Force. While on vacation, we readjusted our truck loan under the SCRA Act at a 6% interest cap since my enlistment date to present, changing the remaining balance on our Truck from $3,400 to $2,100 (about 5 more PMT's to go!). Oh, and one last item of interest... Elijah is VERRRY close to being potty-trained. His teachers have asked us to start bringing big-boy undy's to daycare for him, so we'll see how that goes...
Other than that, we are enjoying life as a family and can't wait to see where the road takes us!
