Well we just got Orders to get out of the Army. We leave for Utah November 19th There are so many emotions:
happy after almost 7 years we are done and can choose to do what we want
sad to leave our friends and those that have become our family away from family
anxious to embark on this new phase of life
stressed because we have to pack like crazy
sad because Caden is leaving all his little friends and school that he loves
happy to be near family and for Eric to finish school(he has completed his associates while in the Army and now gets to use his GI Bill for the rest)

We are proud of Eric's service and dedication to our country. We are also excited to have you 15min away. How cool am I to say that my brother in law is Sgt. Slaughter.
Wow, that is happening so fast. And here I was all excited about living closer! That's really exciting though. Bitter Sweet!
