Bittersweet!


Bittersweet- this is a great word to describe the military life. I am sure Seth would use another word, but for me the word is bittersweet.

Colorado Springs or Ft. Carson has been our hometown for quite some time. For some this may seem like a very short time to live somewhere and call it “home” Seth and I have both lived in this beautiful state going on 5 years.

I gave birth to 3 children, Levi, Rebekah and Judah and we also bought our first house as a couple in the cute town of Fountain, just minutes out of gate 20.

Just as I was getting content living here as well as making wonderful friends through Fusion Church and MOPS, Seth gets his orders for Ft. Bragg….  Although we have lived in NC close to a year in the beginning of our marriage I remember not liking it at all. I am sure part of hating Ft Bragg was due to having very little friends and absolutely no money. We lived in a nasty townhome that was infested with spiders and crazy loud people who could easily be on Jerry Springer for their problems that they felt the needed to display in the parking lot…. EVERY NIGHT

Hopefully the next 3 years living in North Carolina will be a better experience for all of us.
As some of you read in my last post we DID buy a house in Raeford. Seth was visiting NC for about 3 weeks and got a chance to look at a few houses. We finally settled on a cute 5 bedroom that will be perfect for our growing family.

Our new house



Overall we are excited to start over in our new home with a soon to be new baby and new Job. Were nervous and most of all ready to settle down without any deployments or long trips out of state (for Seth)
We will defiantly miss Colorado and our wonderful friends  =)
