AZ or bust

So there is finally some big news for Ben and me.

No we are not pregnant, Dave and Debbi.

I have accepted a job in AZ and will be starting that this coming Monday. Ben received “the letter” from the Army and has to stay in Maryland until August 14th. Ben’s official 8 year contract in the Army ends March 2011 and they finally caught up to him. We don’t know what August 14th holds but we are ready for whatever happens. We are hoping before whatever they order him to do he can at least move our stuff over to AZ and hang out with me for a while.

For you Marylanders, I will not see you again but it’s been great! You friends have been like family. Ben will be a bachelor living on ramen while I live with my sister and her family. Watch out for him and make sure he doesn’t work himself to death from boredom.

Stay tuned for more news!

We got to visit Katie and Kevin and their cute kiddos on Memorial Weekend. It's a tradition for them to get flowers and place them on headstones at the cemetery that don't have any. It was so cute to watch them walk around and pick off a flower from the bunch and adorn a stranger's headstone. It was humbling to see grave-sites of soldiers that were
from some of the first major wars.

There was a zoo nearby for 5$ a person so we took advantage of it. I realized a few things...
I don't like birds that can walk around freely and are bigger than a soccer ball
and...
Monkeys kind of scare me.
Other than that I got a nice tan and the kids had a good time!



We love visiting NC and are so glad we have lots of family close by.
I hope everyone had a Happy Memorial Day weekend!
