PCS'ing is hard to do !!!!!!

Our tour in Sicily finally came to an end. What a wild and crazy adventure it was !!! We were there for 3 1/2 years and had 2 more boys. Traveled to many other counties, Met some incredible Military families and also made the mistake of allows others to get me down.

Really been thinking back on everything and how life does pass you by if you don't grab ahold and enjoy every minute and Appreciate what you have around you. I hit many rough spots while over their and over came many challenges. But I am alive, have 3 healthy boys and now living in Cali !!

I remember when I received the phone call about possible new orders. I was on travel with a friend and all 5 of our boys. I was getting out of the car and headed to dinner on the Almafi Coast when my husband announced where we might go next !! He asked what I thought about Australia. I was in total shock and in disbelief (still am). He also broke the news we would have to move quickly , and he was going on another assignment as soon as we move !!! UGGG. But I would get to choose where to live while he was gone. After reviewing all the different options, I asked a friend in Cali if we could stay with her while Ralph was away. I thought I was making the best choice after reviewing everything Ralph's new orders included and didn't. And our family was very ready for change !!

The PCS'ing process was overwhelming , part of me wasn't ready to go because I didn't do everything on my list. And our house was NOt organized, and the stress of the move during a school year began !!!

Our PCS was not a smooth one and we are still dealing with issues from the move, Its been stressful and challenging , but I still try to make the best of everything for the boys sake. This is the first time I am having to deal with everything myself, Ralph is helping with what he can, if I cant resolve it. I will not go into details with EVERYTHING that has gone wrong, lets just say it would be long.

Enjoy a few silly photos of the boys during the move !!!
