The world is spinning and so am I

So the plans are set, and the bags are packed. July 27th the movers come to my storage and pick up my stuff. 3 weeks then it will arrive at my new place in VA. My car then gets shipped out soon following. My flight leaves Aug 3rd at 7am. I have a rental car ready for me at the airport to go to Fort Eustis. I will stay at General Smalls inn on base for the night and in the morning. I will see my love and see my new house. it will take weeks to get everything together but i will. and then we will be ready to move again. love the Army life. Nothing is ever set in stone and my life will always be flip flopped around but i have my babies and i have my husband and a roof over our heads!!!!

Distance + Alone = Sad

So the last few days have been harder than Greg being at BCT. I'm not sure why. but its more hurtful knowing i could be there but cant. knowing he's able to hang out, chill. and i am so far away. raising the girls alone is driving me nuts. I don't want to be a single mom and yet for the last 3 1/2 months i have been. Some where down this road its suppose to get easier, get more stable and normal. When? I love my family and its hurting so have such separate lives so far apart. I just cant wait to have a home again. together......

3800 miles but getting closer

Hello Family and Friends,

This is my first post of our family blog. As many of you know my husband joined the Army. Which has been a roller coaster of rules, letters, 5 min phone calls, i miss yous and tears.

BCT was fast. 10 weeks of hell for Greg. But he made it through in the top 10 of his class. Goodbye Fort Jackson. And hello to AIT in Virgina. 28 weeks of school and work for Greg. Good news! I'm going along for the ride. We are in the process of moving there. Its a lot of work. Housing, transportation, movers, storage, and 10 hr plane rides. Its a long road but hopefully we get there soon.

AVIATION- As most know Greg's job title (MOS) is helicopter weapons repairer (15J) he was so happy to get this job. His end goal is to get into flight school. Another long process but hopefully he gets there. and he is on the right path, starting with getting into Warrant Officer School. fingers crossed.

Virgina, what can i say the weather sucks, rude people and am 3800 miles away from you all. Its a change. and we are going to  have to get used to it. 7 months and we are off to another place. so really its ok for now.

Taylor and Riley, surprisingly they are doing great with all the changes. They did so well on the plane rides and the 6 hr drive from SC to VA. They amaze me! Daddy saw Riley Bear walk for the first time on June 29th. He cried with happiness. It was the best moment ever. Its been so great to have my best friend back. 10 weeks was far to long.
