The End

I've taken quite a long break from this blog. I was starting to feel like it was the same old post again and again. Our lives were pretty much at a standstill and I didn't know what else to write about.

Since then, there have been several new developments.
In September I officially started my own photography business. This is something that I have wanted to do for several years but I didn't have the right equipment or resources. I am so glad things fell into place at just the right time for me to get things off the ground. God is good!

We also have wonderful news to report! We are finally moving!! We've decided to go in another direction and not go with the recruiting. It was likely going to be another 3-6 months before an assignment came our way (nearly a year after the class) so we've gone the civilian route.
I am so happy that we'll be able to "start over" with our lives again very soon! I feel like everything has been on hold since we've been here. Living here has had its challenges for sure but I'm sure I'll think of all the great memories we've made here for a long time.
It has been a blessing to have our son spend a little over a year surrounded by his grandparents (both sets) and his great grandmother. Those are the kinds of things you take for granted when you live close, but miss like crazy when you live far away.

Our move will take us about six hours from "home". I'm hoping that this lends itself to some good, quality family time for the three (maybe four someday?) of us and the opportunity for visitors from time to time.

We're so excited about his new chapter in our lives! The end has definitely come here but, I think, it's just the beginning. I'll be sure to update during our transition.
