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.
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 =)
