Getting Ready for the BIG Move!

I am in the process of getting my passport and Alaska teaching license!  There is so much to do and so little time to do it in.  The wives in Kodiak are already very welcoming, I can't wait to get to our new lives on Kodiak island.  It's going to be a long drive but it will all be worth it in the end.  We have our HHG scheduled and I am already getting the house set up to pack.  This will be Matt and my THIRD state to live in together...

From the Beginning

Hello all, to start this blog off right let's recap the past few years..

Matt and I met at Canyon Lake Marina in Canyon Lake, Texas in the summer of 2010.  Matt had just returned from Iraq and decided to buy a boat.  Fate would have us meet at the best time in both of our lives.  In June 2011 Matt transferred from the Army to the Coast Guard, it was a hard transition at first but we are now thankful that we made this decision.  November 2011 Matt proposed at the top of the Sandia mountains in Albuquerque, NM.  December 2011 Matt left for Coast Guard boot camp and January 2012 we were married.  Our first station together as husband and wife was Omaha, Nebraska.  We were there for a year and a half and now we have just received our orders to Kodiak, Alaska!
