We have ORDERS!

We finally received Brandon's orders last Thursday afternoon. This was after Brandon "graduated" from tech school. He is officially done. He blew the test away, and aced it with a 95. I am so proud of him. We were both overjoyed and relieved. This part of the Air Force is finally over. From Basic through Tech School is a long time, 5 1/2 months long. We have been through 8 1/2 weeks of COMPLETE separation, 4 joyous days of spending together, then another 4 weeks of separation, to me moving to Biloxi, to where every weeknight Brandon had a curfew of 9:30pm. So in a nutshell, we are soooo soo happy to be almost finally under one roof together semi-permanently.

Back to the orders... The actual sheet of paper does not say much, but they do hold the power for us to get things done. Today we got so much accomplished. The condo is completely packed up and we will be leaving tomorrow to College Station, praying the weather holds decent for us. Our flight is on March 5th from San Antonio to Baltimore. From there, we will stay the night, and leave the following day in the afternoon. We will arrive on the island around midnight, March 6th. I hope Mason is ready for this! :) We were able to speak with the housing department at Lajes Field. Thankfully, there is no wait, our new house is all ready for our arrival!!

Unbelievable to think in less than 2 weeks, we will be in a completely different part of the world. We are looking forward to our new adventure!!
