We're headed to...
SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE in ILLINOIS!!!!!!! We are so, so excited! This was our first choice...first time that's ever happened! We have prayed and prayed that God would lead us to the best place for us right now and that we would be close to family. I believe God has answered our prayers and now we are headed to a great destination. Note: this is super close to family compared to Korea; airline tickets are cheap to come out to Illinois too, compared to flying to Korea ! Scott AFB sits right on the Missouri border; we will be about 20 minutes from St. Louis...hello lots of things to do, tons of shopping, baseball games, river walks, museums, great AMERICAN restaurants!!!!! Can you tell I am just a little bit excited? We were at Scott several years ago, for a TDY (Greg had to go there for work); we fell in love with the area, so we kinda know what we are in for. We can't stop looking at housing, although it looks as though we may live in base housing, off base...a tad confusing, huh? We'll keep you posted! The best part is that the kids and I are down to 43 days until we leave Korea...WOW! It's been great, but I am sooo ready to see our family...won't be long! That's all for now :)

43 days is NOTHING. I'm so very happy for you guys. Although, Osan simply will not be the same without the Baileys. You will be missed by so many. But when it's time to go, it's time to go. Congrats!!
I can't even tell you how excited I am about this move...I can't handle having to go over a year without seing my big sis!
Congratulations, that is so great! We were at Scott for training right before we came here and we loved it too. They were working on the new housing, too and it looked pretty nice! We will miss you!
You'll love it there! We spent the last 3 years there & had lots of fun exploring St. Louis & the area...plus, being closer to family is the best part! :)
Oh Shara, I'm so excited for you...I felt the exact same way about being in the states and American restaurants, etc. but MD is kinda beating us up pretty bad here but the shopping and rest. are nice, but honestly I think you'll look back on Korea fondly as you return here to the good ol' US of A!! Update more pics of mommy baby bellies!! Oh by the way I've had that same promise about the character thing too, but I've since broken it too!! ;)
