Also, unlike a lot of cookies, because this is made with cream cheese, I immediately popped them in the fridge to cool off and set more, making for a delicious sweet treat for the end of the day! With the mixer speed on slow, add your flour and baking soda mix a little at a time until your cookie dough is completely incorporated. Take a large tsp of cookie dough, and roll it into a ball, placing it on your baking sheets. Put your baking sheets on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 10 minutes or just as the edges begin to change color to a golden brown.

A lot of people have been asking us how we’re doing with the PCS process for our upcoming move to South Korea, and rather than do 12098301982 posts about the same things, I thought I’d talk a little bit about navigating the OCONUS PCS process, what that looks like, what it entails, and where we are in the process. In order to request command sponsorship, we have to go through something called an EFMP screening/interview in which they go through our entire medical and mental health history to ensure that our gaining installation (Camp Humphreys) can support any needs we might have. Our passports are up to date now so, once we get command sponsorship, which is indicated by amended orders which include all of us by name, we will go for SOFA passports (no-fee passports), which will allow us to claim our host country as our residence for the duration of this tour. It’s exhausting, but it is possible, and it’s important to focus on each little individual task as its own milestone in the PCS process.

Ruby Beach and Kalaloch, where the Tree of Life is located, are on the southwest coast of the Olympic Peninsula, about 30 minutes from Forks, Washington. It’s a beautiful drive that starts off on i5 but gives way to beautiful backroads and farm country, eventually dumping you on the Olympic Peninsula Loop for epic ocean views and more. Honestly, this is one of the most awe-inspiring things we’ve seen here in the PNW, and it’s only about 10 minutes from Ruby Beach, so it was a no-brainer to visit the two in one fell swoop. Ruby Beach’s sea stacks (or the immense rock formations emerging from the sea) are a super popular feature for photographers, so as the sun starts to set, the photographers and their clients begin to arrive.

I resigned myself to the fact that it wasn’t meant to happen, and a friend messaged me Tuesday afternoon to let me know there’s a vaccine clinic on post and that DEERS (military) beneficiaries are eligible. We finally made progress getting our replacement vehicle title Long story short, the title to our Honda Civic went missing in our last PCS, and we’ve been unable to re-register our car (or do anything, for that matter). If you’re wondering what EFMP is, you can check out some of my most commonly tossed-about military acronyms, but it’s basically a physical/mental health screening designed to determine whether military dependents are physically and mentally ready and sound enough for an OCONUS assignment. So, we’ve decided that it’s time to sell, and we’re getting closer to putting it on the market – kind of the end of an era, if you will!
