Life on the Move

Growing up I used to beg my parents to let us move. I craved the idea of starting fresh and new. Well boy did I get it! As a military wife, we've moved a couple times in our short three year marriage. Here's a look at our timeline.

Late August 2010: We moved from Statesboro, GA and bought a house in Savannah, Ga.
One week later, September 4, 2010: We Married in Savannah, Ga.
One week later, September 10, 2010: Steve deployed to Iraq.
December 2010: Steve returned home just in time for Christmas!
August 2012: Our first baby girl was born in Savannah, GA.
September 2012: Steve deployed to Afganistan. Sadie and I moved in with my parents in Atlanta, GA.
June 2013: Steve returned home!
December 2012: We sold our house in Savannah, GA.
February 2012: We moved on post in Fort Lee, VA.
July 2012: Destination unknown!

Whew! That's a lot! And that doesn't even include the trips we took in-between to include New York, Venice, Germany, Napa Valley, and Disney World.

I can't wait to make one of these. You can buy them here. 


The reason I'm writing about this is because we find out in the next couple of days where our next home could be. I am completely excited and a bit nervous. There's a chance we could stay near. There's a chance we could be moved across the US. And there's even a chance we could be stationed overseas. There's an exciting thrill factor to it, but there's also a scary unknown. Every military spouse knows what I'm talking about. And you just have to let it go and make it work.

I can't wait to share with you in a couple of months where it is that we chose was chosen for us. Wherever it is I know we will make it a home for the next couple of years. As long as I have my husband home and little girl by my side, I will be happy.

After all, Home is where the Army sends us!
