We have been knowing for a while that we were scheduled to leave this coming summer...but no idea when or where. At the beginning of the year Matt put in his "dream sheet" and then we waited...until one night while we were watching TV he got an email in his personal email saying that he had orders waiting and he could check them at work. I insisted that he drive to work then so we could find out but I "patiently" waited until the next morning. Waiting at work, months before we expected to hear anything, was a RIP (the beginning steps of getting orders) for us to go to Barksdale AFB, Louisiana with a report no later than date of 30 September 2013!
We are very excited about the move and the position for Matt. He will be working for Air Force Global Strike Command as part of their inspection team. It will be very different from what he does now but a great opportunity for him!
Moving to Louisiana means we will also get closer to family! We won't be too much closer to our parents (only about 7 hours closer) but we will be about ten hours from my grandparents and several other family members. It will be wonderful to be within reasonable driving distance to family!
This fall/winter, come visit us in Louisiana...you probably won't even need your coat!
