The big move part one

When Brad and I got married he had already been in the marine corps for almost five years. He thought then that it would be a career for him, but over the last four years things have changed and he has made the choice to move our little family back to Michigan to be close to our families and friends. 

I love him and support any decision he chooses because his happiness means more to me than anything else. 

So with 5 months before his EAS date we are starting to prepare for the big move. We will be moving in with brads parents until we can get ourselves a place and I'm very excited about it. We have an amazing relationship and I love them so much so this is a great thing. Brad and I have been talking the past couple months about having me go home earlier so we can get settled in before he gets out, save up some money for a down payment, and let him really focus on his last months in the service. I know those couple if months will be hard on our little family being apart but with such an amazing support system at home and thanks to some super awesome FaceTime technology we are certain that the time apart won't be too hard on us. 

So with all of that said. Brody, the dogs and I will be heading back to the Great Lakes state in just under one month. ONE MONTH does seem like that long does it? I feel like there is so much to get done during that time though. We have decided to use TMO to move us home. So they will be packing and moving our belongings the 900+ miles for us. We need to get forms, and put in notices and set things up, we have some repairs and cleaning to get done, we have things to sell and get rid of, organize and pack things that we want To drive ourselves. Thinking about a garage sale in the next couple weekends to get rid of some of the stuff we have collected over the last three and a half years here. How do you choose those things? Make it easy and get new stuff when we find our own place? I don't know. I'm excited to get home though. I guess that's all for now... 

I want to bring Brody to the ocean before we go home though.
