Today we found out that Ryan is APPROVED to move to Whiteman AFB and work as an Air Reserve Technician! We are very excited about the prospect of living about 3 hours from both of our families and a lot of our friends. It's also exciting to look for a new house that will better fit our growing family. The cost of living is also much more reasonable so we're looking forward to that as well.
We are also sad to close a chapter of life in the military as well as here in Virigina. Through www.tidewatermommies.com and www.watersedgechurch.net we have made some of the best friends for ourselves and Natalie. We are always busy and full of things to do with great people. I'm nervous that I won't find these same types of connections in a new town. We really put roots down here, and I'm sad to pull them up. Hopefully we've impacted others the way they have impacted us. This is our home and I hate leaving anything/anyone behind.
So the next few months we will be very busy trying to get all the details worked out as well as selling our home. Keep us in your prayers, and thank you to those who prayed for a quick decision. Instead of the 3-8 weeks we were expected to wait, we were told in less than a week.

Yaaaaaay and Boooooo :) Bittersweet moment for you guys I'm sure. Hopefully you will get better healthcare though, among other things. It's great to have family close by, I know MY family has benefited a lot from it. Good luck with the move, you know we're doing the same here. I'm sure your friends will keep in touch 'cause I know they're good people. Not like that sister-in-law you have that never writes/calls...LOL!! :)
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo excited that you'll be home soon! If you need ANY help, remember I'm off all summer long and can lug stuff with the best of them! (We also have room for storage, if needed...) Welcome home to MO!!!!
I'm all teary eyed....we are really fond of you and your family. BUT wish you nothing but the best! You deserve it!!
WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on the good news. We are so happy to have you guys coming back to MO. Maybe for once we can live in the same state for a while :)
I'm glad my best friend will be back and close to us!
Congratulations! I have a feeling I'll be seeing you more when you are closer to St. Louis (sad, isn't it?) You've got a lot of preparing today (selling a house, buying a house, talk about nesting!!!) Good luck with everything. Your life is always full of exciting things!
WOW! Congrats!!! Next time I'm in Missouri we'll all have to meet up for lunch or something! xoxo
