After 10 long years in the USAF, our time here is just about done like within 60 days of almost done. This is what we have been praying for for 2 years. We are blessed. They are going to TDRL hime (temporary medical retirement) we retain all our benifits and a paycheck as an added bonus. He is going to the desert on a contract for 1 year so I can finish my school before we leave Mississippi. My education is so important to me and I am like 7.5 months from graduation just 2 semesters left. Besides that financially we will be fairly well off its a lot of money. But in lew of that we will be missing him terribly. He gets 2 paid vacatiosn for 2 weeks at a time, but even with that he will be dearly missed. We are moving out of base housing in the next 2 weeks and I am excited I rented an apartment in Long Beach like 2 miles from my school, its a really nice apartment 1700 sq ft. Plenty for the girls and I, was gonna rent a house but I dont want all the upkeep and I feel safer behind a locked gate. Even though we have been wanting this for so long its so strange that it is all going to be gone in a sense, he will never return to active duty but we are sort of lingering they can do the TRL for the next 5 years, great as long as they continue it we get 3 paychecks the desert, VA, and the base, and anytime the government wants to give us money for no reason is ok with me. My husband has served 2 tours in Iraq its the least they can do. So thanks to everyone for all the prayers and concern. This is going to be a good thing. From there he will work in the states we just can't decide on the state we want to stay in FL, NC, SC...who kows. What I do know is that we are so very blessed, great amazing children and an amazing husband August will be 5 years....wow...
Summer classes are almost over and I am trying hard to stay on top of them even in lieu of the mounting things that we have to get done. I am hoping to not fall below at least B's but am expecting A's. I am an A student I don't think I should have less than that. I am an honor student, I intend to graduate an honor student. August 5th I am so stoked up I am flying out all by myself to see my lifey in North Carolina and even though its Friday, Sat, and fly back Sunday I am so exctied. But this is the first time I have ever been away from my kids over night. Its going to be hard but necessary. I need a break with my bestest friend. We are all in such a good place right now. Things are happening. Hannahs going to preschool, Isabella is a terror of a 1 year old and certanitly keeps mommy on her toes. Life is such a blessing and we will continue to thank god everyday for it.
Will keep everyone updated, but for now....so much to do.
