I have been so happy because Preston and I actually got to spend my birthday, our anniversary and now Halloween together. He was supposed to be gone through all those haha. I will barely see Preston in November. He has combatitive classes Monday - Friday this next week that last all day, and after doing combatatives all day he will be tired and probably fall asleep right after dinner. He will be leavin either that Friday Night or Early Saturday Morning to War Path (field work) and they say he will be gone for 2ish weeks, they shound be back sometime around the 20th. He will be hom roughly a week and then leave again for a few days (or weeks- dont know yet) for Combat Live Fire (another field work). They are making him go no matter what this time. They had him super busy last week trying to get all his paperwork done so he could drive up there. So I will be stuck home alone for all that time. Our friend Tiffany (funny that the only other girl my age here is named Tiffany huh?!) her husband Ryan was supposed to go too and so Tiffany and I were going to spend a lot of time together so we wouldnt be bored. But Ryan got his appendix out bout 3ish weeks ago and they dont want to send him out into the field now. Prestons Health Care Nurse (the lady we see for his TB) isnt all that happy about Preston being gone most of November and only being around during Thanksgiving week. He has to go see her once a month and the appointment for November he had to cancel because of the Fiel d Work. She is calling upto the base he is going to train on and might make him go talk to a doctor there for his check up so he can get his meds again. They dont give him a "running rx" because they have to make sure to check him..

Well Preston and I bought a pumpkin and carved in Thursday night (Preston was off YAY). We had a lot of fun carving it! Friday we went to Camp Walker to their Haunted House. They are using an old barracks building 2nd floor for it. Each Unit here had a room. It was fun, not scary though, but WAY to smokey. They had those fog machine things in every room. It bugged my sinuses so bad I couldnt stop coughing and sneezing that i had to actually get out of there sooner then Preston. But we did make our "guides" laugh a lot. In one of the rooms they had this rubber severd head that slides across the room to scare you, well it hit me in the side of the head and i turn and went "huh? what hit me??" i saw the rubber head and laughed and went oh cool, the guides just looked at me then couldnt stop laughing. We werent scared by anything- but we had fun. We then headed to Vasquez's (dont know his first name) and listend to him and a few other guys rap. It was funny, but pretty cool. They had like a whole recording set in one room the guys rapping were doing pretty good, then Ryan gets up and tries to record a song and ended up singing some slow song. Oh gosh it was funny, couldnt stop laughing!! Then we came home and had some friends over and watched movies. Brian is moving to a new Unit next Sunday and since Preston will be gone next weekend we had a "going away" party haha... we watched a few scary movies and ate junk food. Haha it was really fun. All the guys we hang with our getting ready to leave except for a very few... But that just means tons of new ones move in.. I am hoping there will be more our age!

**Random but Koreans do not celebrate Halloween. The only places that have Halloween things around in Korea are the US Military Bases. A few of the towns that have our bases tend to have somethings, but you cant find any Halloween things here! Its crazy!
