New Orders to Our Next Duty Station




Well Wayne finally got the news on his orders. We are heading off to......HAWAII!!!! We were supposed to be here in VA for 3 years. We guessed we would be here for four because why would the Marine Corps move us for just one year? Anyway we have been a military family for 6 years. We are fortunate enough to have never had to do a deployment but unfortunately we know that won't last forever. Well in September Wayne finally got promoted to Sgt...well being a career Marine and no deployments they said were sending you to a new station so you can be deployed. It will look better for his career. Lucky me 3 kids on an island with no family to help out while he is deployed!! Oh well I can handle it...I hope.
So we were hoping to move a few months before the baby gets here....well that's not going to happen either! Baby is due around the end of May 1st of June, yeah we have to be in Hawaii no earlier than June 1st and no Later than July 1st. So we will be having this baby and a week or two later head to UT, bless the baby, have a B-day party for the kids/ goodbye party and then head off to Hawaii! It's going to be a crazy 1st month for this next baby!
We are excited to be going someplace new again, although I think we were a little sad we didn't get Cali. Now I have NEVER like the idea of living in Cali but we could have come home for Holidays and birthday and family events. Oh well...I have a feeling we will have more visitors while we are in Hawaii than we ever got in NC or VA combined!!
