About me, and Korea so far

I obviously am an Army Wife which everyone knows.  Its not an easy life that's for sure but its the perfect life for me.  Truth be told I've always been the type to get really bored with things in life..I'm honestly never satisfied. Its true and Ill admit it.  However this life makes every day an adventure..every day I'm on the tip of my toes wondering whats going to come next.  My days aren't lived out going day to day there is always something bigger and better waiting for us the next day..Isnt that the American dream? I have the most precious two boys, that without doubt have completed my life...if I died tomorrow Id want people to know that I'm OK with it because bringing my kids into this world is all I could have ever asked for! They are what keeps me going and the ones that make me want to better myself everyday. As all kids do they have their days where they just want to push me until I break...sometimes its hard being that mom that always has it put together but I do it for them, and my husband of course.  Hes given me this magnificent life and these gorgeous children.  Hes my knight in shining armor and my rock. People try to bring us down ..we just don't care! We've been through the fire and we made it out alive and stronger! I'm happy to have him as my husband and best friend..I know that any bad day can be made better just by him being there for me and that's nice.  It takes an extremely strong man to be married to me because I am a cold hearted bitch at times and I'm not afraid to admit that..its who I am and who I've always been.  If I'm having a bad day where I just want to be mad at the world he doesn't fight with me he just makes it better...and that's a good husband! <3333 



We have lived in Germany and experienced what Europe has to offer..we moved to Ft.Bragg, NC and lived that life and now we currently reside in South Korea.  Its a bit of a change but I like change! Its kind of opened my eyes to the fact that everyone is different..the American dream is so much different then lets say the "Korean dream" Lets see if I can explain this... As Americans the "typical" American dream is to have a family with the big house and white picket fence and Labrador. Honestly try to correct me if I'm wrong but that's what it is. A picture perfect life with the best of the best....We own a beautiful 2200 sq ft home but right before we left NC we found even bigger homes that we agreed on buying one if we ever moved back to NC. Its like we always want something bigger and something better. Its the way of life..however in Korea they live in these sky risers and are OK with that.  They don't care about living in apartments the rest of their lives..they just go to work come home and spend time with their families and they are OK with doing that..granted Id be OK too because I have my perfect family but I like thinking ahead to our future and what it holds.  I want a custom built farm house with a little barn with a few cows, horses, chickens etc. I think about it daily. Some people just think about where their next meal is going to come from.  When we pass this one particular house every day it kind of makes me sad that I want all these things, and in that house that only has cement for floors and no door, all they are worried about is if their little garden outside is going to grow so they can feed their family.  It kind of weighs on your heart strings a bit.  It makes me appreciate everything we have more.
