UPDATE....

The count down is in full force!  We are very excited to be welcoming Bill home in 27 days!  Bill is more than excited to be leaving the land of misfit toys!  As much as this year has been filled with challenges it is REALLY good that I did not go to Bahrain!  I am quite certain that I would be in jail, deported or a combination!  Upon Bill's arrival however, a move is in our future.  That is the hard part for me.

It is no secret that I ADORE Omaha!  It is my place!  The Navy however doesn't seem to really care about that!  Even if we were to extend here in Omaha though we would still have another move to do before Bill could retire.  So, we decided that we would get it out of the way while the kids were young.  SO we will be leaving for Fairfax, Virginia!

We have rented our house to a wonderful Navy family....PERFECT!  And are renting a house from another Navy family.  The commute for Bill shouldn't be too bad...a 4 block walk to an express bus that will take him to the Pentagon.  We have a school for Addison, a preschool for Landon and a church all lined up.  It is so ironic that the Chaplin that Bill met in Bahrain lives in the SAME neighborhood we will be living in.  His wife even called me and welcomed me to the area which was so sweet!  As much as I don't want to leave Omaha I am excited for what D.C. has to offer.  It will be so educational for our kiddos and a nice little adventure before we come back to the midwest for good.

But I am in full swing move mode which is stressful, exhausting, overwhelming and emotional all at the same time!  But on the other hand I know I am surrounded by amazing people that will help me however they can! I really hate leaving people...it is the people that make the place! And this place is amazing! I am just hopeful that we are going to have a lot of visitors and three years really will go by quickly!  I will do my best to keep up on the blog over the next month or so!!!
