As such is the Army

It seems as though so much has happened since my last blog. The main thing that I am wanting to vent about is the wonderful life of the Army wife! As you know we are waiting for orders... well we got word yesterday that yes, we are on assignment!!! Woo Hoo!!! How exciting! The only problem.... they are not planning on moving us until JANUARY!!!! UGH!!!! Are you kidding me!?!?!? The first issue with this is the fact that trying to drive over the pass between Oregon and California is horrible in the middle of winter. Second, Krystae is going to Pre-K in Washington and in California she will be going to kindergarden. That is almost half way though the school year. I don't want her to end up behind because we couldn't move on time. Another issue is that I have to start my externship for school in November. It is hard to find a location, let alone two different locations in two different states... ugh... I think that my life is destined to be stressful! And lastely is the shooting that occurred a week ago outside our front door. I was really hoping that we would be leaving this place sooner rather than later. Bullets flying past my kids bedroom windows is just a no go for me... sorry, can't handle that one! So, let's just keep praying that everything ends up getting itself worked out today! I mean I know that this life is a test. That I am being tested... but come on now... can't I get some sort of a brake here? I could really use some down time!

Awaiting Orders

Oops, we did it again! Lol. Mathew just reinlisted in the United States Army once again. Yeah, I know we said that we wouldn't do it again, but we felt like we had no other option at this time. Besides, another three years in the Army will allow me time to finish school and get 2 years experience before we move again. In the end we felt that this was the best decision for our little family!

Anyways, part of his re-enlistment contract was that we would be moving to Ft. Irwin, CA. For those of you who don't know, that is in the high Mojave desert way down in southern California. About an hour and a half east of LA and 4 hours west of Las Vegas. It will definentely be an adventure. I have never lived in this kind of an area before. I am definentely looking foreard to it!

Also part of the moving package will be the fun fact that Krystae will be allowed to enter into Kindergarten rather than being held back in pre-k in Washington. I think that this move will be great for all of us. Not to mention that we are gonna be moving close by our wonderful friends Tad and Mychella Daily!! Woo Hoo! The kids are equally excited to be able to see uncle Tad and Auntie Miki again!

Once we have the orders in hand I will give a better time line of the when and how's. Until then...
