I am still processing this. I think I might be excited. Then I am overwhelmed. It comes in waves. We did put it on our list. But I am not sure if I actually realized it would become my reality in a few short months. I think it will be a great adventure. It just goes to show that when you think you are making plans, God steps in and laughs. He shows you something better. Other than being overwhelmed, I am actually calm about it. I know there is a reason we are going here.
I was making all these plans and dreaming in my head about life after dental school. This was not in my wildest imagination. As of now we don't have the details. Official orders aren't going to be sent out for another month. I don't know where in Korea (other than the fact it is SOUTH Korea for all you really worried. :) ) We do know that Bryan reports for duty July 11, 2013. I don't know how long. It could be 2 years. It could be 4. I don't know. I plan on keeping my blog super updated as we figure this process out. And just in case any of my friends ever prepare to move across the globe, maybe my experience can help someone else out in the future.
Far East, here we come!
Jamie - We are so excited for you! Living abroad brings so many opportunities and learning experiences. I'm grateful for our years abroad and how we drew closer as a family and shared adventures together. It was also enriching for our children. They learned so much: learning new cultures, learning from others - how you may seem so different but in the end we are all children of God, learning to reach out and that you can do hard things, etc. It will be such a rewarding time! It will also be hard and lonely at times, but that is how we grow. Know that you can always talk to me if you feel homesick. Love, Carrie
