Arrivederci Italia!

It has been an incredible three years in Italy and we could not be more thankful for the experiences we have had and the people that have shared them with us. God has blessed us immensely with our F16 family, and through the Buzzards, we have met and been reunited with lifelong best friends. It was a such a sad goodbye, and I, Jordan, in particular, have a hard time believing I will not see these women each and everyday...until we are all stationed together again!

When thinking about some of our favorite memories from Aviano, it goes without saying that the relationships were number one, with travel close behind. Our squadron was incredible, complete with fun, fellowship, and a true sense of family. It amazes me that we were able to travel to 20 different European countries, over 80 different cities, and see some of the most important and influential historical sites in the world. We leave with a greater appreciation for Europe and the many different cultures and peoples that make up the continent, as well as a deeper loyalty and love for our home country. We are so thankful for the chance to live over seas and broaden our perspective, and hope that we only continue to grow more as Christians and individuals as Korean inhabitants. 

We loved our little town, Sacile.

So blessed to have visits from friends...

...and family.

Thankful for vacations with people we love,

incredible Buzzard bashes,

and of course, the wine!

Ciao for now, Italy. We cannot wait to come back for a vacation in the future!

16 Weeks

How far along? When this picture was taken, I was 16 weeks, 4 days (taken on March 5)

Maternity clothes? Still no. I've been praying to hold out until reaching 'Merica where the options are plentiful. So far, so good!

Best moment so far? I finally stopped puking!! Hooray!! Also getting back to the gym. My runs are not like they used to be, but I am happy to be moving again!

Food cravings: Same as before. Still no eggs, and liking the salt. I have been wanting a lot of steamed spinach lately.

Other symptoms:I am breaking out like an adolescent, but I'm not sure if that is attributed to the stress of the move, other emotional situations the past few months, or the pregnancy. I am also having a hard time sleeping more than a few hours a night. Again, not sure if that is pregnancy or just life related.

Looking forward to: Finding out the sex. Radiology is going to fit us in before we leave, even though it is earlier than they like doing that particular ultrasound. 

What else is going on in life:Still in the process of a PCS, but now at the packing stage. The first round of packers/movers came Monday (Feb 25) and we are waiting for round 2 as I write. It has been a headache of a process, but God has definitely blessed us with it being more smooth than we thought possible! Last night was our last night in the apartment, and it was definitely a bittersweet moment. Here's to many other adventures that await us...as a family of three...
