There has been no need to post as we have not had any progress in moving preperations, that is until recently. We finally received our official orders and jerrod is now in New Mexico for a 3 week training program for his new job in Exmouth. He will be back this Saturday just in time for us to schedule or out processing, movers and all that other not so fun mostly stressful stuff that's always done super last minute by the military, because hey, why not?
Our estimated departure date is still around the 20th so we have ALOT to do in the next couple weeks (painting the house, sell the truck ect ect.)
At this point we have said our good byes to family and have dropped off our animals to the foster homes for the next 2 years; Whiskey at my mother in laws and Trigger at my parents. I don't think good byes will ever get any easier, this is our 3rd move in 7 years and although this will be the longest we go without physically seeing family I thank God for the technology we have now to be able to skype, face time and share on social media our adventure. I look at my son and I am in awe that he is now 2 years old and think of how fast that time has gone, I know the 2 years ahead will be extremely hard but I also believe they will be over before we know it.

Well, the count down is really on now. Only about 2-3 months left in the states before we head out to the land of OZ for Jerrod's new job studying the sun at the solar observatory in Exmouth Australia. It is just a 2 year assignment, enough time for us to fully submerge ourselves into the culture and live completely among a small quaint town on a peninsula. It has so many adventures waiting for us!.
I have missed my writing and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to start back at it. I can share our travels, experiences, findings and adventures with all of our state side family and friends!
