Yeah, I know.... It's been two months...

No excuses. Just had much more important things going on in our lives! I would like to catch everyone up on the last two months, but I don't have the time right now. I will try to blog in more detail later, but here's a very brief synopsis.

Patrick Graduated AIT on March 6th.

We left Virginia for Oklahoma on March 9th with an incredibly full Tucson.

We stopped for a short visit at my grandparents' house in Hope, Arkansas on March 11th.

We arrived at Lawton, Oklahoma that night.

We checked into Fort Sill housing on March 12th. Looked at the duplex they were offering us, and one hour later we had finished the paper work to move in. We unloaded the incredibly full Tucson into the duplex, locked all the doors, and headed that night to Dallas, TX.

We met with the moving company rep on Friday, March 13th to survey our stuff in storage.

Spent the weekend with Mom, Melody, and Danny!

Surprised our church family at Memorial on Sunday, March 15th. That was awesome! Caught everyone completely by surprise!

Met the movers at the storage units on March 17th. Sat while they re-packed and loaded all of our household goods.

Headed back for Fort Sill on March 18th. Met the movers and watched them unload all of our household goods.

Since then: We've been unpacking, buying stuff we regrettably got rid of before we started this whole process, visiting new churches, getting settled into the whole "living-on-post" thing, and exploring the area around Lawton.

After a week of in-processing, Patrick has been with his unit now for a bit more than a week. He's already played his first Basic Training graduation and is enjoying the band.

I got a part-time job at an insurance agency and start in about two hours. So, I better close for now and get ready for said job!
