New Assignment!

This week we found out for sure that Jerry DID get picked to be a part of the LCBP, Logistics Career Broadening Program, and that we are going to be moving to Warner Robins AFB, GA!! How fun is that?? (We would have liked VA, but this is the next closest to family... literally!) We will be headed south again. I figure if we survived SC then GA shouldn't be too much different! I guess we will find out though, and real soon! We don't know our exact move date yet, but should in the next couple of months. We hope sooner. It should prove to be a good two years of Jerry's career. He will be switching from job to job within the ALC, Aerial Logistics Command, under the General there. The good thing for the family is that they will not deploy him while he is there. So the next two years he has nothing but family!!

We also are finalizing some plans to go to Vegas this summer. One of our neighbors from SC that had Jerry do his re-enlistment has asked him to do his retirement ceremony. Hopefully, we will get all our plans hammered out in the next week! We are really excited to be a part of his retirement as well as humbled that he would ask us!

This summer is going to prove to be a busy one that is for sure. We have Vegas, house hunting to do, a move to get through, and establishing a new community all in one year! It will be stressful at times and probably pretty crazy too... but it always brings us closer as a family and always brings us more dear friends.

The kids are doing well. They don't really understand a lot of what we talk about... or so we think... and then they will ask us questions about whether or not their friend is moving too. The move from GA will begin to mark when our moves will become harder on the kids I think. Mainly because Jay and Anna are at the age where they want their own friends their age. They will miss their friends here, as they have other friends from our previous move, but they will remember the next set of friends more.

Jerry seems to be happy with finally knowing where we are going. I am. However, I also look around at all the "stuff" that we have acquired since moving here and it is staggering. Yes, we have added two kids, but WOW! We have to start winnowing down what we have and soon! I feel it like a bad itch. I just want to get it done. At the same time, I need to focus on what is important and that is the kids' school and the kids' themselves. And so it will be until their school is done and then it will be a spring cleaning like none other!!

So if anyone is looking for anything specific, let me know... I might just have it!
