So it was brought to my attention that it has been 6 weeks since my last blog post. Really? I let it go that long. I promise not for the lack of having anything to write about lol I've just been busy settling in and getting used to our new surroundings. So here's a little update of what we've been up to:
So we moved into our new home on March 28. That 1st weekend was spent unpacking and getting things organized of course....NOT! We headed out of town and went to South Carolina for our friends wedding. What a beautiful day it was. We woke up on Easter and it was raining :( We still got dressed in our Easter outfits and had brunch at Cracker Barrel. Afterward the kids enjoyed opening their Easter Baskets in large grassy area next to the restaurant (gotta make the best with what you got).
Along with trying to organize and settle in came having to make several trips to the store to get things we "needed". Man this place is so big compared to what we used to live in, I had no idea what to do with all the wall space (and still figuring it out), but it's a work in progress.
On April 8th Matt and I celebrated 6 years of being married. Yay! We had a wonderful dinner and some alone time.
It hasn't taken me long to get involved or find new friends. I work out 5 days a week. The community center gym was a large playroom and it is perfect for the kids.
I joined our squadron Kickball team and have been having a blast with my fellow Ladyhawks! I started volunteering as an FRA (Family Readiness Assistant). I also became a L.I.N.K.S mentor and had my first event this past weekend.
As for the rest of the family, they are doing fabulous. Alanna doesn't really care for her school schedule here, as it is only 2 1/2 hours a day, compared to her previous 6 1/2 hours. But she is excelling in everything and adjusting just fine. B-Cam has been having the itch to start school, and well I am not sure if he or I are quite ready for that yet. Thankfully he has another year before he can start school.
Matt is liking his job here. He said it was a little boring at first, but now they have aircraft, so he is actually able to work. He is excited to start flying again, that is if they don't screw up his up-chit AGAIN!
Life is pretty awesome here in Quantico. Traffic can be sucky, but we are so close to everything that is amazing, even if it takes us an hour to go 5 miles lol
Hopefully in the next couple of blogs I will have some pics to post up of our new living quarters, but until then I am just enjoying getting used to city living again and making this place a home :)
So proud of you! I admire how quickly you make friends now matter where you are. Definitely a military wife for others to look up to!
