IT'S OFFICIAL!

It's official....we're PCSing! We have orders to the beautiful state of Missouri. We will be "lost in the woods"! Yes, we just moved from Germany two years ago. Yes, we just moved onto post this summer. However, this time we were actually able to request this move. My husband wanted to go the the "school house" to become an instructor. As much as I would love to remain in Oklahoma with my extended family, I love my husband more. So....it's time to stop hanging pictures on the walls of own new home and begin the preparations of moving to an even newer one. Ahhh....such is the life of a military wife! :)



Fortunately, I have visited the post we are moving to on several occasions. My husband has attended schools there in the past. Being only 6-7 hours away from where we lived, my son and I would visit Daddy during those times. Also, we've visited some of my husband's family that live approximately and hour away from the post. It is beautiful country. Trees everywhere. Rolling hills. Much different that my southern Oklahoma landscape. It seems to have a lot to offer for family fun. Camping. Lakes. Caverns. Horseback riding trails. Snowboarding. I could go on and on. I am happy to learn that they have a composite Civil Air Patrol squadron for my son. He absolutely loves being in this program.

 

Having been there before gives us a sense of familiarity. We know what to look forward to and what the area feels like. It is rural living, which we like. It also has major cities within a short drive. Branson is nearby, too. All in all, we are finding blessings in this move. Let me rephrase....I CHOOSE to find blessings in this move. To all of my military spouse friends, I hope you choose the positives in your moves as well. Try to find things to look forward to prior to making the move if you are given ample time. I say that loosely, as we were given orders to Germany 5 weeks prior to my husband's report date. My son and I didn't even have our passports by the time my husband had to fly out. If you fo have the time, get your kids excited. Get yourself excited. Choose to make your next PCS move a great ADVENTURE.

As always, much love

from my home to yours...
