The ship left for deployment just after New Year's so he will fly out to the Middle East to meet up with them. He's excited he only has to go for half of the deployment! He'll get the qualifications he needs much faster that way, and the last month of deployment is usually hitting up Mediterranean ports on its way back to the US!
We were hoping for San Diego, but we are ecstatic to explore Virginia and the surrounding states as well! Plus I have a dear friend attending graduate school out there. Yay for buddies and meeting more Navy wives.

Whilst he is busy tracking down pirates and floating off the coast of Iraq, I'll be looking for our first home. I begged my mom to fly out to help since she only works part-time, but my dad said he was confident a Realtor could hold my hand and I could call him at anytime. Booo.
It seems the most popular choice of home, by far, is the colonial.
I was looking for job openings at the local news stations and found something interesting on one of the websites: The usual tabs for "News," "Weather," and "Sports" were all there, but then I saw a tab labeled "Military." HELLO GENIUS. Every station's website should have that tab! The Norfolk area is home to more than 10 military installments. The tab had a bunch of fun stories relevant to military families and ship activity in the area.
New city, new job, new house. Didn't I just go through this 6 months ago?? Ah yes, thus is the life of a military wife.
