Well...Where do we start? Nathaniel just got through with a Basic Training Cycle and they graduated Jan. 22. I also received an award for volunteer of the cycle for helping out Charlie Company at graduation. It was a lot of fun.
We have found out that we only are here at Fort Knox until August, which is a HUGE blessing. We do have an idea of where they are going to send us, but knowing the Army we are not completely sure. We are also waiting to inform family first and then let everyone else know. If it is where we were told then it will def. be an adventure.
Nathaniel is now applying to go to Airborne school in May which is amazing that he is now able to go where as before we thought his chances were only going to come after a year or two. Nathaniel is also getting a new Commander which is going very smoothly. He only has two more cycles left before we leave.
I will be visiting SC the last couple of days in Feb. into the first week of March. I am so excited to be able to catch up with friends and spend time with family ;).
I am currently taking many different classes trying to learn the business of the Army, which is a crazy one.
I have also decided to start my one blog and see where that takes me lol. I am not one to write things done bc I store it all in my head or speak it out so this will be an interesting endeavor.
I will update again soon with the specifics of our next duty station and the adventure to come!

Update...
Okay....so the first post was to get us started and now for an actual update!
Nate and I are currently stationed at Fort Knox Kentucky. It is nice here and not to far from either of our families.
Since we were married in December 2008 we have been busy. Nate finished up his officer training and then became an ExO (executive officer) in a company here at Fort Knox. He is doing exceptionally well and has received numerous awards for all of his hard work.
We finally found a house on base that suited all of our needs and I posted pics on Facebook. We have been trying hard to make this our home.
We have two doggie children as we call them. Baxter is a Yorkshire Terrier and only weighs about 3 pounds. Oreo is a rescue puppy who is a basset/lab mix and weighs a ton. These puppies have definitely blessed our life in many ways.
I am still looking for a job but out here it seems I am either too qualified or need to be in the Military.
In May we were able to go on a cruise to the Bahamas and it was amazing to actually get to spend true quality time together.
This summer Nate was called to go to Washington State to help with training up there so I went back to camp to work for the summer. God taught us both a lot this summer about strength and patience.
We are currently praying and seeking out where God wants us next. We have put in requests to be transferred away from Fort Knox. We will find out our new duty station in a little over 3 months. We ask that you please pray for us as we figure out what the future holds.
Well that is a really quick update about our life together over the past year. We will write again soon.
