8 Months? What were you thinking?

Oh right, I know exactly what you were thinking...we did the same thing from Phoenix to Junction City, Kansas (Ft. Riley).

You know, (and this is for everybody), that's one of the things that sets military families apart from everyone else. We were all youngsters just getting started in life, which means most of us were starting families. And when Uncle Sam says private (or seaman) so-and-so, it's time for you to move to El Paso (or Junction City, or Twenty-Nine Palms, or Virginia Beach, or Bangor)...well, you just do whatever it takes to pack up and go. And if you're 8 months pregnant with 2 kids under the age of 3...so what?

And this is the most amazing part! Even though they gripe about it, our wives are right there with us making it happen. It has been said that being an Military Wife is the toughest job in service...you'll never find me disagreeing with that. And MoJo, people like you and many I've pinged have my utmost respect and admiration for what you do to 'support our troops'. You are on the front lines, and you are awesome, and there just aren't enough words to give you the praise you're due...

Anyway, I'm done.
whew.

LOL! We were driving to Washington state. My doctor didn't think it was a good idea for me to fly. Yet, he thought it was a good idea for me to endure a trip from Quantico, Virginia to Silverdale, Washington in the car? Hello? LOL! Funny thing: We ended up driving back 3 years later from Washington to Virginia. Bobby was 3 years old and was an excellent traveling child. Timmy is a different story. Getting off the street is a miracle with him. LOL! I'm thinking this will get better. (I keep telling myself that!LOL!)
