Finally Moving!

Well, the hour has finally arrived...We will be headed out for our 7th move of my career. Yeah, it's alot but what are ya gonna do? We will be tearing-down the computer tomorrow and heading to points north (New Jersey, ref "Joizee" post)

Housing is a rather disheartening situation at Picatinny where I will be stationed. At least for the immediate future. They are in the process of building housing for field-grade officers right now, but as GMH is so good at doing, they have nothing to offer us other than this:


Yes yes, we will be living in a trailer for who knows how long. I've been told it may be until next May. But there are financial upsides to this sad tale so we'll make the best of it. Just makes for alot of togetherness.

I'm excited to be out of grad school and finally start my Acquisition career in what looks to be a great office and job.

Hope you all are enjoying the summer and let us know if you get around the Picatinny/New York area. We have a trailer room waiting for you!!!

Hilton Head 2007

As some of you may know, we purchased a timeshare in Hilton Head, South Carolina recently and have begun making the trip down there as our summer vacations. Last week we accompanied my parents to their timeshare and had a great week. This trip, my sister and her family came down as well and a great time was had by all.

This summer we stayed at Harbor Pointe inside the Shelter Cove Plantation if any of you are familiar with Hilton Head. Drew had a great time on the beach, in the pool, playing putt-putt, in the pool some more, on the beach some more and...in the pool some more! I think I am well on my way to a serious skin problem from all the sun.

My sister, her husband and their three kids were able to be there as well which made for a great pseudo-family reunion. See below for some of the activities we took part in.

Drew and a starfish he "found" on the beach. We think it was dead...if it were alive, he never would have gone near it. It's limbs were falling-off so I think that was a good sign of it's health!




Kristin and I at Hudson's On The Docks...one of the BEST seafood spots on the island. A must if you are ever on Hilton Head and are looking for some great seafood!


On Thursday morning we went on the Shannon Tanner Wild& Wacky Wizzle Cruise. This is Drew and Shannon...after a blue ring pop! Shannon has a nightly show for kids at Shelter Cover during the summer months and does a dolphin watch/majic/variety cruise on Thursday mornings. A great thing to do if you have little-ones and are looking for a fun, cheap activity to do.
