As many of you know, we moved to California under the understanding that we would be moving again this summer due to Brian's AEGD program. Since I found a job out here that I absolutely love, we were originally thinking that we might want to try to stay out here, but unfortunately that wasn't going to work out. A few months back, we had to rank 40 something bases around the world in order of our preference. We had no idea what kind of approach to take when ranking these bases since there is always so much gossip going around on base...some people will tell you not to rank the "highly sought after bases" at all because if you put those first and you aren't eligible, the automatically move to the end of your list and put you somewhere you definitely don't want to be. Essentially, we tried to pick a few bases that were in really cool places and then put a few that weren't so great but wouldn't be terrible. It was a grueling process that took waaaayyyyy too much time and thinking...eventually I got tired of it and thought we should just draw names out of a hat...Brian wasn't really for that idea. After some serious thinking, we completed our list, turned it in, and never looked back.
Now on to the fun part...how did Brian break the news of our new assignment you ask?! Well...my mom and I were out shopping one day and we came home to a living room full of Easter Eggs. Brian had put 2 dozen Easter eggs around the living room with one special one containing our new assignment in it! It was so creative and fun! I finally found the golden egg, opened it up, and found out that we're moving to.......drumroll...........CHARLESTON, SC! We're super excited and can't wait to be closer to home and to family and friends! Here's some pictures of the eggs...
