Civilain Life is Approaching...

It's been a while since I've posted! Just been very busy. Getting out of the Army very soon! Trying to get everything in order. Bittersweet. Though I am ready to move on with our lives. This could be a start of a very good chapter for us! New possibilities, new scenery & new faces (some old ones, too. We are moving near family!)
Oh how I miss family!
My husband has proudly served his country for almost 7 years which included OIF & OEF. (Deployments to both Iraq & Afghanistan.) It's definitely going to be an adjustment for us, but I'm not too worried. After all, we have gotten through A LOT together.

One thing that's a giant plus is leaving Alaska!! It'a a god awful place to live! These last 2 years have felt like a lifetime! It is beautiful though :) Which doesn't make up for the -40 degree temperatures, 24/7 sunlight, mutant mosquitos & just a lack of things to really do.

Goodbye Alaska.
Goodbye ARMY.

2-8 Organization Day!

Yesterday was 2-8 Battalion Organization Day (2-8 is the unit my husband is in, located at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, AK)

It was a chance for the whole battalion, along with their families, to get together! It also marked the 97th birthday of 2nd Battalion 8th Field Artillery!

There was food, games & things of that nature. It was at Chena Lake Recreation Area, pretty fun!

Though I always feel out of place at these kind of things, even though we have been up here for a couple years, I have yet to make any real friends except for one, but she moved to Fort Hood, TX...welcome to the Army life, right?! So it was a bunch of people I didn't know. They all loved on my baby boy though :)
