Washington

I know it's been a few months since I've posted. There really hasn't been anything to post about. School is going pretty well for my first year. There have been both ups and downs, but overall more ups than downs. I'm working at a great school with amazing support.

Anyway...the reason for the blog:

Jonathon and I are being transferred to Washington State. Everett, Washington to be exact. Needless to say I was less than excited on the day we found out. There were tears shed. I kept repeating "I don't want to go to Washington"...eventually Jonny said "Are you saying that you don't want to go to Washington??" :) He can truly make me laugh.

I've finally gotten in the mind set of "This is the way it is and there's nothing I can do about it, so I might as well just start getting used to it."

I've found the Naval Wives Club there and have been in touch with someone associated with it. I have also reached out to a wife of a guy that Jonny was on the Underwood with (the last ship he was on).

He will be on a destroyer in Everett which means that he will be out to sea at times and it will be up to me to create a military family for myself. Mom always said I've never met a stranger and I believe dad once said that I could hold a conversation with a wall...so I'm not too nervous about that.

I won't like being so far from family, but I know everyone will come and visit and of course I'll try to come home as well.

Currently we're keeping an eye out for housing and there is always the option of renting off base military housing. I have also done a lot of research on what I need to do in order to work as a teacher in Washington and have found that it should be pretty easy to take care of the paperwork side.

Anyway...just wanted to update you on lives happenings.

Lots of love!
