Success!

Looking back on the last year of our new family in a new place, I can't help but think of how far we have come!  We have made some GREAT friends along the way and it is starting to set in that sooner rather than later we will all be headed our separate ways again.  Just writing this makes me so sad.

Ashley and Luis were one of the first couples we hung out with and we bonded instantly (all four of us surviving the "I'll cut you experience").  They moved here from North Dakota so of course we could understand each other's "accent" and felt right at home saying "pop" which is completely forbidden here in the south.  When I needed a friend to vent to or laugh with I went to Ash, Luis and Jareth enjoy the beer bridge and survived SERE together.  When we had Minka they visited us in the hospital and were our first call in case we needed anything with a new baby on our hands.  I am grateful to have met them and even more grateful to know we will be friends forever, no matter how far the Army will take us.

BUT this post is called Success!  not sappy emotional story time. 

I have been encouraging everyone to start blogging.  I think it is a great way to track our life, look back at the pictures/videos of M&M, keep in touch with friends and family throughout the country and all of our different journeys.  Ashley has been convinced!  WOohoo!!  Now I just need to work a little more on Melissa L, Melissa E, Ashley O and well all the rest of you....
