It's Official

We have officially gotten our orders for Hawaii. We are going to wait til July to find a place to live on the island. Now we can go make our reservations with the travel people to get our plane tickets and movers set up. We are extremely excited to get things moving. We are very grateful to get away from Fort Knox. We are going to miss a lot of our friends but we will keep in touch. We are probably going to get more visitors in Hawaii than here in KY :).

Nathaniel will be off to Airborne school next week and will be gone for 3 weeks. He is very excited to get the chance to go, it was looking like a no go for a little bit. He is also looking at another course to take in late July. We ask that you pray for his safety while at this course. He will be jumping out of airplanes and doing some crazy stuff.

I am looking at going home and maybe visiting some friends while he is gone. I might stay here for a little while but will make the trip to watch Nate jump out of a plane during jump week and then for his graduation.

We are going out tonight with his Captain and 1st Sargent and their wives so that should be fun and a chance to get to know them better.

Nate's Captain asked him the other day if we had a set date night and we of course don't bc with Nate's job we are never sure when we can have a date night. We have decided that Tues. is our set date night for now and with Nate leaving next week we are going to try to go to our favorite restaurant and maybe go see a movie.

Well that is all from the KY Balough clan....

Happenings

Well it has been a little over a month so I thought it was time for a quick update.

Nate has been approved to go to Airborne school soon so he will be gone for a couple of weeks. We are very excited for him to further his training by attending schools and different classes.

I am still taking class with the Army learning about all the different happenings going on. I am also looking into quilting classes to be able to make Nate and I our t-shirt quilts.

We are expecting a lot of company in the up coming months. Everyone is coming to visit before we move to Hawaii for the next couple of years.

We are very excited about the new adventure of Hawaii. We are finding a Realtor to locate us a place to rent while we are there. I have completed my medical examine, which was the last step in getting our official orders. Our official orders should come in sometime this week. When we get our orders in hand we will then go to the travel people and book all of our flights and the movers. It seems like the process should be easy but stressful, so we ask for your prayers in dealing with all the upcoming moving and packing.

We were able to visit with family this weekend. It was so much fun spending time with Nate's grandparents. His grandmother gave me her old sewing machine to use in my sewing classes and a bunch of books and materials to go along with it. His Dad also gave us a lot of tomatoes and pickles and a bunch of other stuff he canned. We love using those tomatoes in our spaghetti sauce and sure enough when we got home Sunday we made spaghetti.

Well that is enough for now I will update again soon...
