We still haven't found out exactly where in Korea we're going. But what we do know is that Morgan and I can move over there regardless of whether or not Clint gets Command Sponsored. Once there, he has the option to extend his time by 12 months or 24 months. If he choses to extend, he will get paid a little more each month. This is what we are planning on doing
as of right now: We will move our stuff back to Utah sometime in July after graduation on the 10th, and will put it in storage. I will stay with my mom (mom, can I stay with you?) until Clint is settled in and finds us a place to live. Morgan and I will then join him in Korea for a 2-3 year tour (2-3 years because we want to extend to maximize our experience). The military will pay for 1600 lbs of our stuff to be shipped over there, they will give us housing & utility allowance, and all 3 of us will have health insurance as well as access to health care while we're there (yes, the rumors about this stuff are false). We know a lot can change in the next few weeks. So, like I said, this is what we're planning as of right now.
Okay, now that you know whats going on...we've started packing and going through all of our junk and our house is now starting to echo. The housing company is coming over today to do a pre-move out inspection. The reality of all that needs to be done is starting to kick in and make me very anxious. Clint cleaned out his closet last night. I never knew that a guy could get rid of so many clothes and still have an entire wardrobe to wear. Anyone's husband need new clothes?

That's exciting! We need to get together while you're in Utah!! Good luck with cleaning out and packing up. It's quite the task (especially with a baby!) You're lucky Morgan isn't moving around yet. It makes it 10 times more difficult to pack/unpack!
Oh my, I am not looking forward to packing again. I am glad that you are for sure going with him though.
I still can't believe you're leaving so soon! How wonderful that you get to go over there. I bet you are going to love it! What a fun experience! Packing does not sound fun! Argh! If you need help let me know!
this is crazy! I can't belive your going to Korea! My brother went there on his mission so when you stop in Utah maybe he can give you some tips,but I'm sure the military will help you guys out. Good luck with all the packing!! I'm excited to see you again!
You know a plan is all you need...then you have something to work towards. Everything else will work out in the end. As for packing...it just sucks...totally. At least unpacking means you are coming to the close of the move, and be REALLY grateful Morgan isn't moving around yet...that makes a daunting task, just plain AAAHHHH! Anyway, glad that got some info so you can have a plan :)
I am soooooooo glad that you are going with Clint. For some reason I thought that you could not go. If you guys are going together anything will be great!!! I hope you love it!!!
Katie, I hope you blog all about your experience over there (I assume you probably will). It will be so interesting to see what it's like for you. Good luck with everything!
We are so glad you two girls get to follow him to Korea! I knew it would all work out!
Yay you will get to be together! It is so hard to be apart...takes one strong couple...which no doubt you are. ...and the fact that you're coming back to UT makes me so happy! Even if it's just for a little while. Let's do something!
Hey Katie! Quick question.. How did you get the recently updated thing?? I can't find it.
