Korea
Colter made it to Korea after a very long flight and decided that it wasnt going to be so bad since he was able to get through the airport okay and really all was well once he got settled into life at his first base. I dont know the name of where he is right now considering he will leave it in about 6 days. SO he will be stationed at Camp Humpries an hours south of Seoul, Korea. But for now we must wait and explore.
So along with new places come new spiders. Ya, Colt thought the Camel spider in Iraq was bad... he didnt go to Korea to see their scary spiders. He said they are very big and very colorful and very scary....lol...I just laughed....sounded about right....
Well is back to living in the barracks until I can get over there, that means little beds and little places for things... oh and he has to share his room with someone else...and share a bathroom too.
But it cant be that bad...him as his roommate Eric, who is half Korea half Indian, hang out a lot... and are enjoying life together....but Eric will leave in about 6 days for a different place as he is part of a different unit.
Oh and these are the nice rooms...since these pictures Colter has been moved to a new location... I am told they are not so nice....hmmm

The Days Before He Left
I never thought it would be so hard to send him off...and I was fine until cousin Kim decided to cry when it was her time to say goodbye. Yes her husband gave her the look of disgust, but I just started crying and didnt really stop till well I still havent comepletely...but for the most part it takes a bit to get me started. Colt thought this picture was a great idea when we were sitting at the airport gate waiting for his plane to come in. I didnt think so considering I am trying to not cry in the last minutes before he leaves as they count down the minutes for us at the airport.
He then decided this picture needed to be taken of me sleeping becuase well I dont really know why...but I just know I was really tired.
might as well tell you about Spook...or Spook dog... or sometimes even her name is Spooky. Anyways, she thinks that she is a lap dog, only problem is that she is about 35 lbs. Not so much...but all you have to tell her is to get down and she does. But she decided she liked my lap when we were visiting with family. Actually Grandma was over.
Well Vickie and Spooky have a good relationship.... Vickie has done this to Spook since she was a puppy and maybe thats why she gets confused about being a lap dog....maybe???
And here is Cousin Kim with her youngest Danny. Danny tries to forget that anyone exists sometimes but through the weeks we have become very good friends, partly becuase I pester him until he finally excepts that I am just going to keep pestering him and he might just want to have some fun too.

Oh and ps... if anyone wants a puppy Spooky is having kids....lol
IM A SLACKER... I KNOW
So I am a slacker and I so know it but I am going to make up for it I promise. Just havent been feeling the best and been a little crazy with Colt gone. But just so everyone knows he is loving Korea and everything about it but the fact that I am not there. SO the blog plan is to post some pictures he has sent home with dialogue and then go back to other pictures from the wedding since i still have the cake and other things.
