NC

Happy to share that we will be moving back to Camp Lejeune in November.  Brandon graduates 30 October from CCC and we will be getting to Lejeune as quickly as possible afterwards to hopefully get assigned a house.  There are indications that Brandon could potentially deploy to Afghanistan with a month of us getting there,  but we are waiting for further information to confirm this.  

After a lot of debating and seeking counsel of good friends/family,  we have opted to hold out for housing on mainside Lejeune....  and hopefully fulfill our dream to buy property in Cherry Grove Beach sometime next year.  I am thrilled to be closer to my parents.  There are so many activities for the kids to do at the beach and it is exciting to be able to spend our summers and weekends there relaxing away from base.  

As far as what is going on currently,  we are in full prep mode for my families visit this coming weekend.  I am so happy they are coming to visit over the holiday!  We spent much of this past week at the pool and spray parks since temperatures reached over 100 degrees most days.  I also registered Carter for pre-k at Lawton public schools.  He will be attending an elementary school only a few miles away from our home.  School starts August 21st!

We also ventured down to Wichita Falls, TX this weekend to check out things to do there.  We strolled around Target and the mall.
