I had the best of intentions of keeping up the blog while we were transitioning from TX to MS, but as you can all tell I was unsuccessful in a very big way!
Here's the low down on the summer months:
- The girls, Jake and I spent the summer living on the Sabatini's farm in AL. We loved getting to spend so much time with our families in AL, but missed having Peter around a WHOLE lot! We also missed having a regular routine, our own stuff (sent to storage in MS on move day) and our own place to call home.
Our little "farm" girls
- Peter spent the first 6 weeks following our move staying with a fellow resident and finishing up his residency in Dallas. Peter obviously missed us while we were away, because two weeks into our stay in AL he surprised us with a visit!
Daddy & his girls
Daddy & Mia
- After finishing up residency, Peter, the girls and I headed to MS on a mission to find a new place to call home. We found our new home on our second day of looking, made an offer the following morning and our offer was accepted!! So, we spent our last "house hunting" day in MS registering Ava for preschool and having a little fun with the girls.
Graduation from residency
- After one glorious week together, the girls and I drove Peter down to Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, AL for Commissioned Officer Training for 5 weeks! Yes, that is right 5 MORE weeks away from his girls. While Peter was in COT the girls and I were busy getting everything lined up for our move to the MS coast. FINALLY on July 30th, I drove down to Maxwell AFB for Peter's COT Graduation. We drove back to the Sabatini's farm the next day. The girls were over joyed to see their daddy again! We packed up the car and the mini-van and headed to Keesler AFB on August 2nd to start a new chapter in our lives.

The Airman & his wife
- We spent our first week at Keesler living in temporary housing (basically a one bedroom condo) while we closed on our house and waited for our belongings to be delivered. We spent the week following the delivery of our household goods unpacking, organizing and getting school supplies ready for Ava's first day of school.
More updates to come soon....I PROMISE!
