Away we go

Yeah, it's been awhile.  A TON of things have happened in the last six weeks and I guess I just wanted to take the time to process everything.  :)

We're moving.  Ok, so that's a little anti-climactic.  :)

We're moving to Fort Bragg, North Carolina in just one month.  Like exactly a month from today, I'll be cleaning up the empty house before we leave town.  It seems surreal.  I feel like we JUST got to Frederick.  We've been here now 27 months.  I'm not ready to leave.  I love the city, I love Maryland and I LOVE LOVE LOVE my friends.  I'm more than sad to leave.  :(

But this is the life.  The life we chose and the life we live.  And now it's time to go.  Adam is being offered a job some people dream about...maybe lots of people dream about...and as his wife, I told him many years ago that wherever the Army should take him (provided we could come, too), then we'd be there.  So to Fort Bragg we go.

There are some great things about moving.  I LOVE house hunting.  I love the new, the exciting, the unknown.  I'm excited to be at a "real" army post again.  Ft. Detrick is VERY small.  Coming from Ft. Campbell (the 5th largest Army installation stateside) to Ft. Detrick was such an adjustment.  Now we're headed back to a major post, Bragg being the third largest CONUS post, so that's pretty exciting.  (*Note: So I tried to verify my post size sources and it seems it might be inaccurate, but no one reads my blog so I really don't care.)  It's fun to see what new things we can get into as a family.  We've been to Baltimore, to DC (several times), to Philadelphia, to New York City, to camping in West Virginia, camping in MD, visiting VA, driving through DE.  We've done a lot while we've been here, so I guess it's time to move on.

But I'm pretty sure part of my heart will always be in Frederick.  Especially as long as my Maryland besties are still here.

Anyway, here's to more blogging in the future....some exciting things coming up soon.  :)
