This next picture was taken today (Saturday the 29th). Morgan is very sick with a cold right now and has been for about 3 days. Last night was really rough for her. She cried and coughed A LOT. I think she's feeling better today. I found her and Clint cuddling on the couch watching football this morning. She absolutely refuses to cuddle with me, but she sure loves to lay with her daddy.
The apartment also has a stacked washer and dryer in a little closet in the living room.
Because it is on an American military installation it is very Americanized. The toilet is a normal American toilet and it has a bathtub. 
The outlets are just like the ones in America as well, however when we move off post we will need converters for their outlets. I don't know how many square feet the apartment is, but its basically a kitchen, bathroom (both pictured above), living room with a small dining table in the corner, and a bedroom (pictured below). The blanket on the floor is for Morgan to play on.
You can see Morgan's bed behind the couch and recliner with a pink blanket draped over the side in the picture below, oh, and our suitcases in the bottom left corner. We're still living out of them because Clint is a dresser hog :)
That is our TV we brought from home. They don't provide one in the living quarters.
The bedroom/office
We sometimes go to the food court to eat lunch or dinner. There is a community center on post and the bottom floor has a subway, pizza hut, baskin robins, and one other place that I can't remember. The 2nd floor is the activity floor with pool tables, a craft room, a chapel, and an office where you can sign up for arts and crafts. The 3rd floor is a library. They have books, CD's, and DVD's that you can check out. They also have internet access there.
I do cook when I get the chance. But since we're out and about almost every day and night, we tend to eat out more than we should.
I had to attend a 2 day welcom briefing last week and I learned some interesting stuff about the Korean culture...
~When Koreans get married, the woman keeps her last name, but the children will take their father's name.
~At meals they use chopsticks and a spoon, the oldest person has to start eating first before anyone else can begin, and there is very little conversation.
~Respect to elders is a huge deal. Even amongst siblings. When a family is drinking wine together, the younger sibling turns his head to the side to drink to show respect to the elders in his family.
~It is also a symbol of respect to put one hand on the forearm of the opposite arm when handing something to someone. So if you were passing a bowl to your parent you would pass it with your right hand while touching your left hand to your right forearm. There is a history behind this that is quite interesting.
~When you are introduced to someone who is older than you, you bow to them, never shake their hand unless they offer to shake yours first.
~You always remove your shoes when entering a house. You should be wearing socks and they shouldn't be dirty or have holes in them.
~When you are invited to a Korean's home for a meal you always take a gift worth 10 dollars or more. They will never open it in front of you though.
~Tipping is not customary
I could go on forever. Any other questions? We'll learn more about the country and culture once we move off post and are living on the economy. It should be fun and I can't wait.
Oh, and No, we aren't coming home for Christmas this year.
Okay, its really a Kia, with an Audi sign made out of aluminum foil. But hey, who could ever tell the difference?
Our new car. Its a Hyundai Galloper. I guess they aren't sold in the US.
It came with a pimped out stearing whell cover and a cool knob that you can use when you're turning. The cover is light pink and says Snoopy and Woodstock. In case you couldn't tell.
Our new house. Yep, we bought it. Isn't it nice? We just absolutely love it!
Ha ha, just kidding. This house is one that we're looking at living in. The top and bottom floors are seperate apartments. The top floor is for rent. The landlord showed us the bottomo floor, that where he lives, and it is SO SO nice. We're going to go see the upstairs today.
We finally made it! Yes, Costco is either 4 or 5 stories, I can't remember. Thats how everything is here. They cram so much into one little space that they have to build everything really high. They have escalators for you shopping cart. The wheels lock in and instead of stairs its a moving ramp. Very interesting. Oh, and SO EXPENSIVE. We won't be shopping at Costco in Korea.
And our little growing girl. So big. So fun!
I found her sleeping this way yesterday. I guess she was comfortable cause she slept a long time.
Now that Morgan is crawling she has quickly learned how to pull herself into the standing position. She can't do it on the tile yet, she just slides around. But we often find her like this when she's supposed to be sleeping. This picture was taken last night while we were watching Survivor. I guess she was pretty interested in who was getting voted off.
See this adorable pink and brown outfit? Morgan was trying SO hard to crawl yesterday (Saturday) but instead her knees slipped out from under her, as they often do on our tile, and she hit her top gum on the floor. Clint picked her up and tried to calm her down but then realized she was bleeding. Apparantly there is a tooth super close to the surface because it had broke the skin and was bleeding pretty bad. In fact Clint got sick to his stomach and almost passed out! It was sad for Morgan, funny for Clint. Luckily I had a teething ring in the freezer and just gave that to her to chew on. She was fine in no time. And luckily I got all the blood out of her cute outfit :)Today we ventured to church for the very first time. Of course I didn't have my camera with me. We left the house a little after 7 this morning and walked about a block to the bus stop. Not too bad, except it was freezing cold. I wore flip flops because they were easier to walk in than heels (I changed into my heels when we got to church). We got off the bus after a very short ride, luckily I realized that I had left the diaper bag on the bus BEFORE he drove away.
Next we hopped on the awesome KoRail (Korean Subway). And I mean awesome, its so clean and once you get the hang of it, the maps aren't too hard to read. We rode the subway for a short while and then got off and hopped on another subway that would finally take us to our destination. In between stops we had to climb quite a few stairs with Morgan in the stroller. When we got off at our last stop and were carrying her up another flight of stairs Clint said, "man, we're pioneers." And I said, "yep that's right, and the more stairs we climb the more blessings we get for being at church." (we thought it was funny).
The church was only a couple of blocks down the street from our last stop and it was the weirdest looking chapel I've ever seen. I'll get pictures next week. I guess its brand new, and its 3 stories with a parking garage underneath. It ended up taking us just under 2 hours to get there. Which made for a LONG day.
The meetings were nice. During sunday school I took Morgan out to change her diaper to find that there isn't a changing table in the building. There is a little room where mom's do their nursing and what not, so I took her in there and changed her on a little foot rest stool. Of course she kicked the dirty diaper out of my hand and it hit my leg then hit the leg of the chair I was sitting on, so I got to clean up even more of a poopy mess. After that fun fiasco I decided to just let her play until Sunday School was over. Remember how I said she crawled a couple of steps the other day? Well, I had my eyes closed for about 2 seconds and when I opened them she was crawling like she had been doing it for years. I was shocked!
It took her a while to figure out how to crawl on our tile floor. But she got the hang of it by the end of the night. At first she would crawl on one knee and one foot. So funny. Here's a video of her right before bed. Now we can't keep her in one spot. I know she's almost a year old, but I was shocked at how fast she progressed once she figured it out. Oh and its funny cause when she's crawling toward something she wants, she cries the whole way until she gets there.
Oh, and I counted how many women were in Relief Society(the women's organization in our church) today...17...3 of which were visitors. Crazy coming from Alabama, where we couldn't find a room in the building big enough to fit all the women.
THESE GUYS ARE SO FUNNY!!!!
I didn't bring any of Morgan's size 9 months clothes with us because I couldn't fit them in her suitcase. So she's wearing size 12 months and I just love the cute outfits. I had forgot that I had sent a couple outfits to Korea before we left AL and I've been having so much fun dressing her everyday. The one in the above pictures has a little cardigan sweater that matches. So cute! Oh, and PS. She finally crawled 2 steps forward on Thursday. She did it twice and hasn't done it since :(
The military buses we usually ride are pretty dumpy and uncomfortable. But this one was all decked out. I thought it was pretty, but Clint thought it was dumb :)
This is a view of the Hannam River and Seoul from the bus window. All along the river is really nice with walking/biking trails and even little 7-Eleven shacks where you can get snacks and drinks. We'll go down there sometime and I'll take pictures.
Morgan and Clint both out cold on the ride back to Yongsan.

A dramatic account of Christ's ministry, as seen through the eyes of those who would follow him. In Come Unto Me, volume 2 of the bestselling series The Kingdom and the Crown, Simeon of Capernaum wrestles with how to undo the damage wrought by his reluctant conversion to a man called Jesus of Nazareth. His determination to follow the teachings of the Master has cost the life of one friend and sent three others to a Roman prison to await execution. How can he stay true to the teachings of Jesus, which require that he love his enemies, and yet deliver the friends who face death because of him? A similar dilemma faces Miriam of Jerusalem. Her father, along with the other leaders of the powerful Sanhedrin, are determined to stamp out the growing popularity of this itinerant preacher from Nazareth. But Miriam too has found Jesus to be far more than a mere man, and this poses a terrible choice for her--will she follow family or faith? From the Galilee to Jerusalem to the great city of Rome, Come Unto Me continues the story of the people whose lives are forever changed by the teachings of a simple carpenter from Nazareth. Award-winning author Gerald N. Lund masterfully blends the biblical account of the greatest story ever told with unforgettable fictional characters in this dramatic epic. Description from Amazon.com
Monday night after walking 1,000 miles and back again, we took a walk down the street from K-16 to a little place called Inka's BBQ. We ate boneless chicken, beef and rice. These little things were the apetizer and were SO good. Even Morgan couldn't get enough of them.
Our boneless chicken and I think coleslaw. YUMMY!
After dinner we went down a couple doors to buy some snacks. Clint got some weird drinks some bananas while I gauked at all the strange stuff. Can you tell what this is? I about gagged when I saw it.
its squid..and if you look closely, the tentacles are hanging out the top! 
When we got to the San Francisco airport we went straight to the international terminal. I overheard a security guard telling the guy in front of me that if he took the bus to the terminal, then he wouldn't have to go through security again. So I followed the guy to the bus gate because I didn't want to have to get Morgan out of her carseat and do the whole security thing again. Turned out there was no elevator down to the ground level for the bus, so the guy in front of me carried down the stroller for me while I carried Morgan and my baggage. Once at the terminal we got some food, found a comfy spot to park and spread out on a blanket so Morgan could play and I could read.
The 12 1/2 hour flight was very uneventful. I watched Batman, Kung Fu Panda, Wall-E, and Mama Mia, plus played some Tetris in between. We were served 2 full meals and had snacks and drinks about ever 2 hours. Morgan stayed in her carseat most the time. I was sitting in one of the front seats where you have lots of leg and floor space in front of you, plus we had the whole row to ourselves. So Morgan was able to get down on the floor and move around a bit. She only fussed once and it was nothing a few treats couldn't take care of.
We arrived in Korea around 6 pm Saturday night. It was actually pretty scary. First, when I got off the plane there was a big sign saying "paging Morgan Webb". So I go up to this lady and say, "that's my daughter". She starts talking on her radio and to another worker and then finally explains to me that one of my bags didn't make it to Korea. She told me to go talk to the airline on the 2nd floor, but I didn't completely understand her directions, so I had a feeling I should just go to the baggage claim and figure it out from there.
