Moving, finally!

Well, we finally received an email with an assignment last Friday. We are set to move to MacDill AFB in Tampa, FL after Kyle's completion of ACSC (Air Command and Staff College) in June. We are super excited because this was Kyle's #2 pick, Hawaii being the first.

Kyle will be working a staff assignment for SOCOM (Special Operations Command), he will be the Deputy Director for the Inter-Agency Program, we're not quite sure what that entails, but we've heard good things about working for SOCOM. CENTCOM is the other command there at MacDill and it's in charge of running both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and haven't heard high praises for CENTCOM.

All is well on the home front, the kids are doing well after a Spring Break sickness, Luke got it during our vacay and passed it onto Harper, who ended up in the ER this past Saturday to be seen with two ear infections and an upper respiratory infection, they initially thought she might have pneumonia, because her oxygen levels were low, but chest x-rays proved that she was clear of any chest infection. I, too, got sick via Harper, her infection led me to having mastitis, after becoming very ill last Sunday night and all day Monday, I finally was able to see a doctor only to tell me that I didn't not have the flu or strep, but something! After putting two and two together on Tuesday, I made it to the Maxwell Clinic to get some medicine for my mastitis. For those who may not know what mastitis is, it is a infection in your breast of your milk ducts.

So, we'll be looking for a home in the Tampa area, looking forward to getting a house with a pool and seeing some Buccaneers and Rays game!

Still waiting...

We are still waiting for orders. The 'in charge' people told Kyle and the rest of the ACSC classmates that they should know something this week, so we are waiting to see if that holds true. Kyle says he has a feeling, but I am not counting on anything, this is the military, you know, things can change and then change again, etc. Anyway, I promise to keep everyone posted once we find out for sure! We put down Hawaii and South Florida (first and second, respectively) and last Pentagon. There are a few different commands within Hawaii and Florida, so maybe we'll luck out and get one of them! :)
