P.C.S.-ING

The letters ‘p’, ‘c’, and ‘s’ hold a lot of meaning for military families. Our Permanent Change of Station is coming at the end of June and it seems so much more real now that we’ve gotten our assignment.

That’s right – we found out where we are moving! A few weeks ago, I was so nervous about the impending change that I had to write a post to process my thoughts. I thought about making this a long post where you had to guess (like I did when we moved to Vegas), but I don’t have the brain cells. Haha.

So…here it goes!

We are leaving Vegas at the end of July for Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C. It will be bittersweet to leave our wonderful friends and church family here, but it is exciting to think about the new adventures waiting for us.

It is certainly disappointing that there aren’t any options for getting closer to “home”. With the context of having lost my dad, we desperately want to be as close to family as we can, but D.C. is still somewhat of a home coming for me. My grandmother grew up in the Capitol City and much of our family still lives near by. It’s a city that gets me excited with the wonderful museums, parks, history, and political prestige. I can’t wait to bring Caleb to the National Zoo and the Air & Space Museum to experience some of my favorite childhood places and memories with him.

There are many other things I want to share about our transition, but this will have to do for now. Especially looking forward to living near this bunch.
