A New Life..again

One constant with being a military family? Moving. And I'm gearing up for my 6th move in four years! SIXTH! It's never easy. Always full of stress and heartache. You begin to miss the place you've formed a life in. You miss that store where you could go at 6am. Or that Wal-Mart where no one shopped and you could at least tolerate. You miss the farmer's market, and the weather...You miss that malls. But then your eyes turn to the horizon ahead...
And you start to anticipate the life you could make in the next PCS Move. For me, this move is going to be about being a family. My husband told me when we made the decision to commission that our lives, his career, and our future would never be the same. I feel that, I'm beginning to see it. Slowly but surely. This time when I join Ryan, it will be with our daughter A'aleiya!
I cannot wait to experience Georgia, Fort Benning and this new part of our Army life with her! And her father! We'll be able to go to Atlanta, Savannah, the beach, the Olympic park...And just enjoy being a family...
For me? I'll pursue my Army Family Team Building Certificates to Instruct and get involved in the FRG. And look to the future...

Every story has a beginning and I'm starting mine already in progress.

I've decided to give blogging a shot. I love to write and I have a knack (at least I think I do) for doing so. My life the last couple of years has been full of insights, stories, and growth; and there are days I wish I had kept my thoughts or put them out there for others to read. My goal with this blog is to just have fun. Share my insights and learn something about myself in the process. So welcome to the musings of this Army wife and mother...
