...and baby #2 makes four

Well, here we go again. I went to my new Aviation unit down in Clearwater for drill this weekend. It seems certain news hits my cell phone when I am away with the Army. For the second time in two years, I got a picture text from April of a POSITIVE pregnancy test. Yes, that's right, # 2 will be a spring baby. We are excited to add another Dean and to reuse all of the stuff we got for Preston. (Chrissy and Ryan, can we have that stuff back when your done?! LOL!!!) For my Mom and Dad, this will be their 8th grandchild. Good luck at Christmas!! Anyways, we will keep you all posted through the blog, so check back frequently.

Fort Rucker update

As typical with the military, Pete got a call from his Colonel asking him if he would go to Warrant Officer School (WOC) in November. Pete said "Yes", so he should be getting his orders next month. We are not sure what this means for flight school. It could move it up a month or not move it at all. Either way, we have five weeks from when he starts WOC until he finishes. Looks like Pres and I will be without our main man for Thanksgiving, but we will get to have him for Christmas!!!! Keep us in your prayers. Now the pressure is really on to get everything settled here!

I've found a wonderful rental site for homes if we want to live off post. We are going back and forth on the whole thing and can't seem to make up our minds. I'm leaning toward off, and Pete is leaning toward on (it means a shorter commute for him, so I think he is biased!)

Let the countdown begin...

We are in the final time for sunny Florida! In January Pete, followed shortly by Pres and I will be headed to Fort Rucker, Alabama! For those of you who don't know, Pete has been selected for flight school and will be heading out to first become a Warrant Officer, and then go straight in to flight school. I am so excited for him and proud that he was able to do this. He is ecstatic about fulfilling a dream of flying!

We received this flyer the other day in Pete's military email, and it is starting to make it all seem so close!



















I've started the application process to live on post (we do not want to buy out there and there isn't too much available to rent). The people there have been very helpful and have given me some very good information as the reserves tend to drag their feet on making sure the soldiers have their orders in advance.

We will be there for 18 months and who knows what will happen after that. I have found a wonderful preschool for Pres (on the recommendation of some ladies who are out there...gotta love the Army info line aka the wives!) so that he can make friends and I will have time to devote to the business and school myself while Pete is busy with school.

Please join us in prayer for this life changing move! We want everything here in Florida to be settled before we move.
