Brandon swears in to do FOUR MORE YEARS in the Marine Corps! How exciting?! We have been waiting for this day since he went back to full duty after his surgery! Now it's finally here! I'm going to play photographer, of course :) I have no clue when I will be able to post pictures! I think it's been since Christmas, so I will be on picture overload by the time I'm able to post them.
In other news... We are hopefully going to be buying a computer within the next week or so. We are waiting until right before we leave or we may just wait until we get to Kentucky. Talk about picture overload! By the time we get to California, I will have an insane amount of pictures! Everything from here in South Carolina, Kentucky for 2-3 weeks, our trip across country, and hopefully this time next month: OUR HOUSE! I can't wait to find out our address and see what it looks like! Although it's going to be WAYYY smaller than the one we live in now, I'm going to have a positive attitude and make the most out of it!
This move has me all worked up! And I can't say that it's not to be expected because with every move and every deployment you get a little wiser and a LOT more experience. So there's always more to think about. When we moved to North Carolina I didn't give one thought to what our house was going to look like or what the base was like or how big or small the town was. I went in completely blind and was so happy! I never complained once about what our house looked like or how small it was (only 750 SQ FT)! Then, once it was time to move to South Carolina, I relied a lot on the internet to find out what the houses looked like and I was determined to get a brand new house that no one had lived in. And that's what I got. Still didn't care about the base or the town! Now we are due to move to California and everything is consuming my mind! The house is almost half the size of the one we are living in now. It's 2200 miles from our families (a 3 day drive at best!). Camp Pendleton is comparable to the state of Rhode Island in size! Are you kidding me?! That's a lot to think about! And then there is the fact that we can't get Chloe enrolled in school until we get a house to show the school our lease agreement (you can't go to school on base unless you live on base) and she has to have a California shop record, which means we have to find doctors as soon as we get there! And there's only about 6-7 weeks of school left (once we get there) and she will have had missed the whole month of April! Not exactly what I call fun! This is our first move with Chloe being in school and it scares the heck out of me to think about her missing that much and what if after I get her to do all her school work that her teacher is gathering for me, that it's not enough? I'm scared she may be behind in her subjects because I don't know what they are learning right now! It would be excellent if she were ahead of them! Then it would make me feel better! I'm super stressed! And then Brandon will be going to desert training in July (hopefully he won't miss Chloe's birthday) and then deploying in the fall to Afghanistan! OMG! I think I might burst! So people, please say a prayer that I don't lose my sanity! I will keep everyone updated as I get a chance!
