This blog chronicles the lives of the Caffee Clan: Brian, Kelly, Josh, Jason, Lauren and Katelyn as we navigate life as a large, loud, military family that lives on the verge of complete chaos! I'm Kelly, AKA "Mom", "Mama", "Babe" or the "1SG's wife", I am 37, a stay-at-home-mom that dreams of someday working in the marketing field. I love photography, scrap booking, healthy eating and cooking, my family, music and dancing!! I have a fetish for gross medical stuff, like unusual diseases or strange growths, and sometimes I wish I was a midwife. As you read, you might notice that I have an slight obsession with cleaning and germ-avoidance, but do not fret, I am aware and I am working on it. And I love making lists! I have lots of opinions about lots of things and this is what is represented here! I'm not always right (wait, I'm NOT??) but I always have something to say!!!

The NEW journey to Korea!

My current state! :/
We found out yesterday that we will be going to Seoul, Korea sometime in the January - March time frame. We are hoping and praying for January so that the kids can start school in Korea after the Christmas break instead of towards the end of the year. I am currently in "stress mode" trying to wrap my brain around the fact that we will be in Korea for the next two - three years. I know that this is what we do, that this is what I know how to do, but I still can't quite comprehend it. I don't think it will be "real" until we get there. The logistics of such a move for a family of six, with four pets and an entire house full of furniture is overwhelming, but I can and will get it done. (I have to keep reminding myself that I have done this before, followed by a good, ole, 16 - years - in the military - wife pep talk.) And the fact that this all must be accomplished before we take a month of leave in December! THREE MONTHS! I can't believe I have to. And I am worried. Because that is also what I do.

By the end of October I fully expect to be bald - my hair falls out when I get stressed - and "list -insane"! I'm already making my lists (hey D, I am officially in "whirling dervish" land) and plans and playing the what-if game. I am trying to take control, when I KNOW I just need to sit back and let the Lord drive this train. I realize He has an amazing plan for us, I just wish He'd let me in on it!! Or take a nap and let ME drive! *wink*

I will do my very best to keep everyone posted about what is certain to be a wild ride and ask that you pray with and for us! Forgive me if I start acted like a lunatic as well, this happens when I am hyper - focused on something. Today I actually texted Brian that I thought the gas gauge in the van was broken because it was on "E" and only allowing me to put $9 dollars worth of gas in before the pump stopped. He took one look and literally gawked (he DID!) at me in confusion - "Kel, the tank is FULL....". I also asked about "anti-DEperspirant" and scheduled an appointment for Josh at MY vein specialists' office - "Is this appointment supposed to be for you, ma'am?"

I am in so much trouble......
