good news and bad news
So no new picture. will try to get one on later tonight. The good news i spoke of is that we have found out where we are headed after Italy 14 months from now. The bad news is not the base itself its just that its distance away from both familys. We are headed to Mcchord Air Force Base in Washington State. Its about 45 minutes south of Seattle. I know some of you knew that if she re enlisted that she got a BOP (Base of preferance) Well we did sort of. Let me explaine the procedure. You submit a list of 8 bases that you would like. We picked scott in Illinois and then the two in northern California and the two in colorado just cause Colorado is beautiful and is about equally between both Familys. so thats 6 then we put the one in missouri and last but not least put mcchord in washington thinking it would be cool but its last so no worries. Well we expected about a month of waiting to find out the assignment. So we submitted the paperwork last week at the end of the week sometime. And anyone who knows about the military knows this usually takes a little while well yesterday we got the news. We are headed to Mcchord. All the other bases didnt have any openings around the time we would be leaveing so there it is. We though about just extending another 2 years and not re enlisting but then she would get thrown in with everybody else returning from overseas and they get sent to montana or north dakota or places like that. So better of this way. And other than being far away from family we are really excited about it. We both love outdoors stuff and thats the place to be. Ther will be snowboarding and hiking and climbing and the sports teams in Seattle to go watch and the music scene there is awesome. And vancover BC is only 3 hours away. and all the cruises to alaska and down the west coast leave from nearby. So we are truely excited. the Only other bad thing being the weather there. rain rain rain. lol O and the fact that we know we are leaveing in 14 months. so we are well at least i am all like yeah lets go ............................ uh o yeah lets wait a year. hahaha. So Ok on to some baby news. I finaly really felt her move the other night. it was cool. And i go in a see her at work before i go to work. And yesterday she told me to shut up! get this its because she is active at that point anyways but she says lately when I talk she wont stop moving the whole time i talk. hehe. Can you say DADYS little girl. lol ok well i need to go for now. will try to get a pic up soon. miss you all and love you more. O and we are working on the baby registry thing if anyone has been wondering. so we will have that out soon. Ok so goodbye for now.
