Long over due.....
Hello Friends!! I know it's been a while since I've updated so I thought while I drink some chai, I'd take a moment to fill you in.
We made it to North Carolina on Dec 5th with some issues. Our flight left 45 minutes late from Venice which made us miss our flight to Atlanta at JFK Airport. They wanted us to spend the night in Atlanta and catch a morning flight to Fayetteville, but we had Stud and couldn't really do that. I was so overtired that I was almost in tears, so Michael spoke with Delta. They put us on a flight to Charlotte and we drove the 3 hours to Fayetteville. So by the time we made it to the hotel is was 3 am - but for us it was 9 am. We had been up for about 20 hours. We slept for about 4 hours and then decided to go to post. Let me tell you, Ft. Bragg is nothing like Vicenza. It's its own town with its own zip code.
We've driven to South Carolina to pick up my car. It was quite a nice trip and I'd like to go back there to actually get to see something. We drove to Raleigh last Saturday to go to the big mall and we're thinking about going back up there to walk around the downtown.
We already have a house, a 2 bedroom standalone. Unfortunately we can't move in until Jan 6th, and all our things will be moved in on Jan 7th. So it'll be a busy first week of the new year. We'll be sending out change of address cards after we move in. I've met the principal and teacher who I will be working with. They seem great and I can't wait to start there the first of the year.
So for now, Michael's working and trying to get settled. He's not assigned to a specific company yet, but he's enjoying meeting the soldiers and learning his way around post. I'm just hanging out for the moment, trying to find my way around, and needing to START Christmas shopping. We're so excited to be going to Jersey for Christmas! I can't wait to see everyone!!!
We hope all is well with each of you and are praying that you have a blessed Christmas. Until next time....
