Slacking Already

Well I was hoping to post a message everyday, but already I am slacking. So yesterday...a great day! Anderson and I decided to go for a run in the jogging stroller after lunch. After packing a few snacks for the park we loaded up and started the run to the "walking park". The walking park down the street is a walking park for a reason and yesterday it finally hit me. The entire thing seems to be uphill!! As I rounded the first corner I was gasping for air and inhaled a huge breath of cow manure! Apparently, they spread this in the rice fields. I have found that the only positive to using a jogging stroller is that you don't have to find a sitter or face child neglect charges when wanting to go for a run! Other than that, I miss having my arms free to help my stride and posture...and I could go without the extra weight that I am pushing...my butt is enough! Somewhere along the way to the park I decided to stop jogging and settle for a brisk walk due to the fact that the sidewalks looked as though they were on a fault line!

At the park Anderson decided to play at the exercise machines instead of the slides...Mommy didn't mind. On one machine you sit on it and using your own weight as weights you lift up and pull down for a great arm exercise...even more difficult when Anderson's added 27 lbs. was on my lap, but he enjoyed the ride!

Jogged back home and Anderson was out for the count....taking a 2.5 hour nap. Randy was working late again and without a car due to the fact that in South Korea getting new plates for your car includes leaving your car for 24 hours till the plates are complete. We should have it back today:)

OH AND BIG NEWS: The list of new assignments came out and although Ft. Campbell is on the list we have been reassured that we would probably not get to go back there since we were already there in the last 3 years....sooooo....Some of the posts on the list included Hawaii, Fort Knox in Louisville KY, Fort Lee Virginia, Fort Eustis Virginia and some others that Randy says I would not be interested in which means they are out of the country! So we are at a crossroads in determining if we stay in Korea another year or put Virginia and Kentucky on our list in hopes we get them. Once we are back in the states Randy will be deployable, however; the posts in Virginia don't deploy like the larger bases (Ft. Campbell). We are still looking into Fort Knox. So we are thinking about putting in our top 3 and if we don't get one we will stay in South Korea for a year!

Last night we had Florentine Steaks (rosemary, chives, parsley, salt, pepper, olive oil, and a splash of balsamic vinegar), with Red garlic roasted potatoes and broccoli! It was delightful...and Anderson finally ate steak!

Today is a busy day....heading to the childcare center to get Anderson registered so that I can observe for school, hit up a new park on post, and get ice cream (moderation people....moderation).

Tonight on the menu: Maple-Chipotle Hot Wings...Randy made these for me last week and I was in love with them. I can seriously eat them once a week...so we are having them again...(don't worry Jen they are baked not fried). I think I will make asparagus and a cucumber and tomato salad to go with them!

Thanks for Reading:)
