Mid Tour

Everyone that goes to Korea gets a guaranteed 2 week mid tour. Matt just happened to be able to take his paternity leave along with his midtour and is being able to come home for 4 weeks.

The process to get permission to come home was long and drawn out and he had to fill out about a million different forms and send them to a million different people. It came down to this week and he still hadn't gotten everything 100% approved and he'd been working on paper work for 6 weeks! But he got the total okay on Thursday and has all the correct paperwork in hand to get to the US on Tuesday!

So, Matt leaves Korea on Monday afternoon (Our time, its Tuesday morning for him) and will arrive in the states on Tuesday around noon. He has a flight from New Jersey and he'll finally arrive in St louis at 10:50 pm. We are planning on picking him up and going to get icecream cones and going to a park for a little while before we head home. I want Emmaline to have a chance to talk to her daddy before she goes back to bed- and- our dating anniversary was April 22 and he missed being home for that by only 5 days. Every year we go to the park and reminice about our very short courtship. Cant break tradition if we can help it!

His departure date back to Korea is May 25 and until then there wont be much, if anything, to update on this blog. Check our other blog out for all things family related! Happy May!
