Fare thee well Georgia

We have moved. I am proud to say that Kurt was accepted into the Active Duty Green to Gold program and is getting his MBA at Notre Dame!  July and early August were so chaotic and stressful for us.  We didn't get our orders till after the July midpoint and had to move 2 weeks from that date. Ere go, the Army couldn't do it for us.  They had so many people PCS'ing in and out of Fort Benning that there was no way they could make it happen.  ARGH. Have you ever packed up your entire house and loaded it on a truck in less than 2 weeks while taking care of 3 young kids?

Yea, it was a piece of cake.  We are very grateful for our friends who came an helped us pack and our friends who came and helped us load AND our friends who watched kids so we could do as much as we could without interruption.  We couldn't have survived those weeks without you.
While I am grateful to be on to bigger and better things it was bittersweet to leave the Georgia/Alabama area.  We had lived there for almost 4 years (that's a long time in Army life) and had certainly forged some meaningful friendships. I have been blessed in that I have kept in touch with alot of my Army wife friends who have moved on before. I hope and pray I will not lose touch with the key people who enriched my life there.  You know who you are. Quinn and Claire were sad to say goodbye to friends but excited to move on at the same time. 
I wish we had had more time to say goodbye's, it felt...incomplete leaving.  We do like the new area.  Kurt started classes today and Quinn starts Kindergarten this week (a blog will follow next week on that!). We sold our house in Alabama, PRAISE THE LORD!  We are renting a bigger house in Indiana.
In a nutshell, Hello Indiana, we look forward to everything you have to offer (I can't wait to make snowcream and snow angels!!) and goodbye Fort Benning, we will miss our amazing church, friends, delicious queso dip that El Vaquiero had to offer.
