Life has been busy for us in VA to say the least. I honestly feel like since Wes deployed in September my life has not only been the usual stuff I was doing plus the usually things he was doing but about a million others that were not going on while he was here. Last week over the Lee/Jackson/King day (which it is officially called by the Fed! And kind of makes me happy, really I think we should just call it famous persons day and celebrate whoever you want, but that is a whole other topic) three day weekend we traveled home to Memphis as well as made a Pit stop in Tuscaloosa for yet another baby shower (which I will talk about later). Anyway, it was a great trip!
We had a nice time getting to see and spend some time with my grandparents. Kercher has been full of himself these days talking and chatting everyone up. My grandparents actually babysat him for 3 hours just the two of them. It was the 1st time I think I have ever seen my grandmothers house that messy! It was just the den, but still I have one of those grandmothers who everything is always in place. Back when my grandfather smoked, I don’t know what the woman did but the house never even smelled like it. The second he would finish she would be cleaning out the ash tray! It was so cute.
Kercher also had a great time with my younger brother and sister. Barbara was still home from college (I swear I should have gone to Ole Miss she had 6 weeks off at Christmas!!!) and Caleb wasn’t as busy as he usually is with scouts and football so Kercher got to play lost of Guitar Hero, he is actually better then me which is ridiculous!
It was just nice to be home. Even though we had visited in November for 10 days it was such a great time. It is hard to live so far away when you are so close to your family. Which is why I was beyond ecstatic when we got the news that Wes was selected to go to Charleston SC like we had been hoping!! He will detach from the TR sometime in June and must report to NNPTS (Navy Nuclear Power Training School) no later the July 14th! Although we are still over whelmed by selling the house and me finding a job there we could not be happier. We will finally be close to some family! Wes’s mom and step father live in Aiken which is only 2 hours from Charleston and it will put us 6 hours closer to my family and 7 hours closer for Wes’s dad and step mom. We are sad to leave our friends behind here in VA, but at the same time we know that this will be a great move for us and for our family. My good friend Amy told me that is the one thing she dislikes about being a military spouse, even if you don’t move, your friends do. We have already had friends transferred out to South Caroline, Connecticut, Georgia, and California and now I guess it is our turn.
