Alright, so I have mentioned it here and there recently. However - The orders have officially been changed! And I am ever so excited. Although traveling and living abroad would have been an amazing opportunity, I am delighted with the location we will going to.
Take a view and I am sure you will understand why....
This is the kind of place you end up at when you are in the Air Force (well or probably similar locations when you are in the Navy) Because Kristopher received a slot for EOD school, which is a pretty high accomplishment/honor to receive this opportunity. - we will be heading to an Air Force Base due to the training for all branches being in one location. Thus we will be moving to Fort Walton Beach or Destin, Fl at the end of April/Beginning of May. I know I will be working, and he will be working hard and studying and learning (its a very difficult program that requires a bunch of studying and long hours during the week). It may turn out to be more of a working vacation.
I have old family friends that live in Destin and they say the water is clear as bath
water most days and the same is white and soft as baby powder... and its warm. I can not wait (as I sit here in the dining room with a heater blasting my legs to stay warm. ) for sun, warmth through to my bones, and well being with my husband.
I also realize that I best enjoy it because Army bases are not typically located in such 'beautiful' places, so the next move may very likely be in the middle of no-where or even back in the pacific-northwest (can we say ft. lewis, wa) Which wouldn't be terrible, but it won't be like the pictures above.
We will be there for 7 months. (Eglin AFB that is) and I plan to enjoy and soak up that sun as much as possible. (and invest in some great sun screen while I am at it)
