Our next home

I have been so anxious to find out where we will be headed next. I finally came to the conclusion that I was ok not knowing until end of May/June to find out since that would be the timeframe. A week or two ago Abe called AFPC (Air Force office that makes assignments) to see what they projected. They had told us last year that most likely we were going to Los Angeles. Well, when Abe called, they confirmed that we would be headed to LA UNLESS Abe got a green door assignment... which is pretty much a special request from a specific person at a specific base asking you to fill a specific position. These are harder to come by, especially in the places we wanted to go. We had some connections to get to the Pentagon, but I really can't be East coast again after living away from family for so long! So, since all the green door assignments were pretty much filled anyway for the fall, we thought it was a done deal that we were headed to LA. Abe was so sure, he even told Adeline and she was super excited to be by her cousin Jojo!

2 days later, Abe got an email from a Lt. Colonel at Peterson Air Force Base, which is in Colorado Springs. He said that he had a green door position to fill and Abe's name came up and if he was interested, he had to reply ASAP. Of course Abe called him right away and told him that he was interested. A couple days later, Abe had a confirmation saying that he got that position and that we will be moving to Colorado Springs in October! Crazy. We can't really explain how any of this happened, except that it must be meant to be. I am so excited to be driving distance from family and to live in such a neat area! Starting next week, our schedule is pretty much jam packed with events/visitors until August, which is when we will most likely pack out (and live without stuff for 6 weeks on this end!). Not looking forward to it and completely looking for ward to it all at the same time. On to our next adventure!!
