Oh my lordyyyyy!!!! We are finally moving!! I am not entirely sure when I will post this, but YAAAASSSS!!! We are outta here!!! Ok enough exclaiming. As most of you know my gorgeous husband is in the military and it is time to move on to the next duty station. I'm not 100% sure what all he is ok with me disclosing as his job is sensitive, but what I can say is that my parents live in Virginia and we will be only a drive away now from them instead of multiple plane rides. For the first time in 6 years we will actually live in the continental US and we are beyond excited for this move. Aava, our first child, is approaching 5 months and to be able to bring her home, to my home, is nothing short of a military miracle. We feel so happy and although we are not religious people by any means, we feel blessed to have these next potentially 4 years close to home. I'm trying not to cry right now, but man does it feel good to go home. To say that the last 6 years have been hard on us and our families is just not enough. We have missed so much of the kid's lives and development that all we can do now is try to make up for lost time. The next 3 weeks or so will be totally nuts and I am considering taking you all along with me as much as I can, since I am still working it will be a bit hard. I will likely film some stuff and wait until we are home to edit and post our moving experience. This move is very last minute and is not the typical way the US military moves it's people, but sometimes things get a bit nutterbutters and we grew up rolling with the punches and making the best of the situation. My husband told me today, "let's just take a second and really be happy and positive because we are going home!" And he was so right, I'm stressed out about everything, but damn we are finally going home and there is no better feeling in the world. We love our family, our parents, siblings, nieces and nephews mean everything to us. If we could buy a giant house where everyone could live that would be ideal.
I will leave you with a question, where is home for you? My home is wherever my family is at the moment, we are a huge military family all of the men and a good amount of the women and nearly every single kid is the product of the collective armed forces. So from our home to yours Happy New Year!!
