Last week while I was getting ready for work I got a text from the hubs saying "I think I just got new orders". My heart dropped because we have only been in Virginia since September and I love it here. About half an hour later he called me and I asked if I was ready to go home to California. Because we have orders for San Diego this summer. I cried because I thought we were guaranteed 2 years at a duty station. I have friends when he's on trips, a job I love and I'm enrolled to start back to college. Not to mention I love our big townhouse on base! But it's the Marine Corps and this happens. So now I am researching housing, looking at schools, jobs and areas around our new home. Trying to prepare now for the deployment we will face soon as we are leaving our non-deployable unit for one that does deploy. At least I grew up an hour north of base so I know the area a little. And one of my best friends from high school is stationed at our new home with her husband.
I'm trying to be excited about this new adventure. But I'm so loving where we are now it's difficult. I know once we are out there I will be ecstatic. But until then I will be soaking up all the DC area has to offer. And when we get there I can always drown my sorrows in In-N-Out, Del Taco, Carl's Junior and real Mexican food. Yummy!!!
