A New Chapter

So it's been quite some time since I have last written, so I guess this is long overdue.

Our life has changed a lot over the last year some for the better and some for the worse. It all started with a move to the great state of Alaska!! It's a beautiful place and there is a lot to see here. Not so much to do in this area, but if you don't mind traveling you can have the time of your life. We purchased a house here in Alaska, North Pole, Alaska to be exact. It's a cute little town with charm and not far from Fairbanks or post either.

I guess the big news of the year is that my hubby will be getting out of the Army. I know it sounds weird and most days I still don't believe it, but this time it was not by choice yet a series of unforeseen events. At times I think about how I am going to miss it all. The friends that become family, the soldiers that become friends, all of it. But then there are days that I sit and think about how glad I am to get away from it all. The "friends" and all of their drama, the soldiers who just can't get it together, the politics, the deployments and just the ugliness and stupidity involved in it all. For the most part I will miss it. Having those who you can turn to, that understand what it is to be an Army Wife, those that know how sometimes it is a daily struggle for you, your family, and your spouse. I am glad to know that I still have those friends out there, that even when our time has come will still be around.

I have forgotten what it is like to be a civilian and I am not sure that I have ever really had many civilian friends in my adult life. I am looking forward however, to this new chapter in my life and I can say without a doubt that whatever it may bring I know that my family and I can weather this storm together.
