After twenty two weeks of my husband being in training we had finally recieved orders. Recieving the information of your First Duty Station is like opening a christmas present when your five. You have waited so long in elongated suspense, maybe cried a little for not recieving them yet, that you are just glad to have it. My husband told me that it was Fort Wainwright, Alaska (Which is in Fairbanks). At first I was in complete shock. Korea and Alaska were the top two places I did not want to go. I was on a complete emotional roller coaster a few days afterwards. So many people telling me what I would have to do to go with him. I was frustrated that I had to go through a long drawn out process to even be able to go with my soldier.
Two weeks later, here I am feeling like the luckiest woman in the world. Alaska is going to be the greatest adventure of my life so far. I plan to enjoy every minute of being with my husband and my two babies. I can't wait to explore such a beautiful place. It feels like christmas in July. Long winters just mean more quality time close with my soldier <3.
