My New Crib
Well here it is. For so long my family and I have been under the assumption that my room would be about 15x15. I was really surprised when I saw. It wasn't as small as I expected, or as big either. But for Geoff and I it is perfect. The picture below is where the three wall lockers devide our room. Yes, you are seeing clearly, that is a big wolf on the blanket on the bed. So far Geoff has done all of the decorating. 
This is a better view of the bedroom area. We each get a locker for our clothes and Geoff has one for all of his army equipment. All of our suitcases are stored on top of the lockers. Many of the Koreans sleep on the floor, so they are not really good at making comfortable matresses. I found that out my first night, and could have sworn that I was sleeping on a piece of ply wood. I bought an egg crate the next day.
This is our lovely living room, on the other side of the wall lockers. Don't you think poo-poo colored walls are pleasing to the eye? And to think some of the guys come in and ask if Geoff actually painted these walls. There really isn't much to say about this part of the room except that the sofa is the most uncomfortable thing I have ever sat on.
This, as you can tell is the bathroom. Since the building was built in 1954, I guess you really could call it the latrine. I really should try to invest in a new shower head. The one that is currently in there hurts so bad that you are all red and splotchy when you get out.
And here it is, my wonderful kitchen. Yes that is an oven. Since my husband does not cook, he had no idea that he had one. I fixed my first meal last night, (baked cheese chicken, and mac and cheese). I am greatful that I have a place to cook.
All in all it is not a bad set up. It is free, and we don't have to pay utilities. Geoff says this is the nicest place he has ever lived on a deployment, and I am sure that it beats a tent. There is a saying that home is where the army send you, and this is it. I really do enjoy it here, and I am grateful that I can be with Geoff. I think I am going to see if our new home can make the pages of Southern Living.

It's Claire and Melissa again. We really don't know what we're doing--we hope you get our messages. We're playing beauty shop. Claire's nails are painted bubble gum pink. I have a clip in my hair with sparkles and jelly bracelets up my arms. We miss you! We're very impressed by your living quarters. I'm sure you'll add a woman's touch. We love you. Claire just told me I looked like the princess at the princess party--these sparkle clips must be enhancing my princessly features!
Hey sis! Love the pictures and the blog site. Geoff should set him one up also for his military. It looks like you have some decorating to do, like a sink skirt in the bathroom & matching shower curtain. I am so glad you have an oven and it isn't Burger King for you 3 meals a day. I love you.

P.S. The boys said,"hey, they miss you and Geoff and love ya'll!
Oh, the joys of base housing. I remember it only to well. It will be fun to see what you can do with it. I am confident that you can make it your own:)
Enjoy the nesting process. I always found it to be fun!
I'm impressed with your site, very nice graphics!

Lacey,
All I can say is that when I saw your page it made me cry!
Not because of the place or your living space, but because I am so proud of you. No one else I know could ever be brave or strong or committed enough to do what you are doing. I am too, very thankful you are safe and with Geoff. You are where you are suppose to be. It gives me a check in my heart about all of our material things we have here. What a ministry you have there! Just be safe and know we are praying and thinking of you!
Give Geoff our love and ya'll continue to have a wonderful life-changing experience. You are a very special woman. I love you!
