February 13, 2015 - Re-Enlistment:

On this day I stood next to my husband on the deck of a USCG 45 and watched him re-enlist for another 6 years. It was a surreal moment knowing that the adventure we've been on for the past 4 years is just the start. There may be ups and downs in our lives and many days spent apart, but I am proud to call him my husband, my hero, and my Coastie. Besides spending time apart the hardest thing is waiting on orders. We are set to transfer this year around June and as of today, March 9, we still have no idea where we are going. I am the type of person who loves to pack and move (yes, I said that), but I like to plan a little bit. I research the area we are moving to and look for housing. At this point my mind is all over the place, kind of like this blog post, because all I can think about is getting orders. We don't even know if we'll be stationed on the West or East coast. As soon as we find out everyone and their mom will know because I'll be shouting it from the rooftops, but for now this is all I can compose. Waiting, just waiting. Hurry up and wait is the story of our lives.
