We are gearing up for lots of big events about to take place in the Renz household. First being the big house divided Oklahoma State and Texas Tech rivalry. For anyone that does not already know, I graduated from OSU and Robert from Texas Tech. This time last year, we were able to attend the game at OSU but this year not so much being in Korea but we will be flying our flags and wearing our jerseys. Now we are hoping the game is showed on our satellite (as Robert is watching the Tech vs. Baylor game). Next, Robert is in the process of taking over a command with a new unit and once that is completed, he will start his leave, we will then begin our journey towards the states for a needed break, and we cannot wait to see our family and friends! Of course then when we return from the states we are rolling on in to the holidays with Thanksgiving, Our 1 Year Anniversary of being in Korea, Christmas, Ringing in 2011, Our 4 year anniversary of when we first started dating, and then man that puts us in March with us celebrating my 29th birthday! Whew where has the time gone! By then we are a good way though next year and starting to look towards heading back to the states!
With our upcoming trip home, we are trying to save some money so we have not been traveling around much. When Robert bought his motorcycle a couple of months back, when the dealership was getting his bike ready for him to pick up they scratched and messed up a couple of parts on the bike. The dealership finally got the replacement parts in, so last Saturday we had to take his bike down to Yongsan to have it repaired. While we were there of course, I had to make the usual rounds for sushi, Starbucks, PX, and Commissary! Then we had to go back today (Saturday), a week later, to pick up his bike to bring it back and of course again Starbucks, PX, and Commissary. Today, since the weather was nice we decided to take Mia with us and take her out to the dog park to play. When we got out to the dog park there was not anyone there, Mia, was almost worn out and ready to go, when a Russian wolfhound showed up so they ran around and shortly after that a little pip squeak dog, a malamute, and an English sheep dog all showed up. By that time (in the words of my father), Mia had, had too much dog! She was getting snippy, moody, and was worn out all she wanted to do was sit in my arms(which for anyone that has ever met Mia knows that she is not big on sitting still for very long). Therefore, we left and went to run our errands since she was completely exhausted! It was great that we were able to socialize her and get her a good workout. She gets along really well with other dogs and the other owners were impressed with her behavior. I was a proud mamma! Since driving to and from Yongsan is such an ordeal and takes a good part of the day we did not get home until late in the evening.
To give everyone one an idea of how INSANE traffic is here! Okay it is roughly 32 miles from our apartment to Yongsan, which takes about an hour and thirty minutes. When we lived in Oklahoma, from Lawton to Oklahoma City it is roughly 82 miles and it was take us about an hour and fifteen minutes. Just from that, I am ready to get back to the states!
I hope everyone is doing well! We look forward to see some of you all soon! Have a great week!
