It's Not Goodbye but See You Later

 I've been trying to keep these posts in chronological order, but I'm in my feelings right now. My favorite human left the island today. I cried. I'm actually still crying. I wasn't expecting to be so emotional about someone I've only known for a month. But, she is the cutest thing on the planet.

And her parents are pretty cool, and I'm going to miss them too. I wasn't expecting our first PCS (Permanent Change of Station) experience to come so soon after our arrival. We knew that the military was only stationed out here for two years, but for some reason I made the assumption that they changed stations over the summer. Wrong.

I fully expected Emmy to struggle with her friends leaving when the time came. But I was not prepared for my own big emotions. I should have been...but I wasn't.

Lauren, thank you for the month of friendship and for allowing me to buy all of your things as you prepared to leave. Thank you for sharing your sweet baby with me. I look forward to seeing your adventures on social media.

Sweet baby girl, I love you so much and I promise to take very good care of your favorite recliner. Kisses and snuggles. <3

How it started…

My mom lived on Kwajalein when she was a sophomore and junior in high school.  She has been pushing Jerrod and I to apply for a teaching position for awhile, insisting that we needed to go on an adventure while our kids were still young.  We both loved our jobs, so we continuously ignored her requests to look for open positions.  In April, she had found that there were open positions for a principal and math teacher.  Jerrod went ahead and applied, just so he could tell her he had done so…thinking nothing of it.  However, at the end of May, he received an email offering him an interview.  Due to the time change, it was scheduled at 8:30pm CST.  We hauled the kids off to my mom’s, I ushered the dogs outside, and he proceeded with the interview. We had lots of long discussions following the interview, mostly about how this change would affect the children.  As many of you know, Johnny is a twice exceptional child with both many gifts and struggles. ...

The Process

  Jerrod got hired in the beginning of June and we arrived on island the beginning of August. It was an extremely long summer of paperwork and uncertainty. We anxiously awaited results from every clearance screening, medical screening, and more. We told people about our future on a need-to-know basis as we were afraid at any moment plans could fall through. Eventually it was time to let my work family know, so that there was time to hire a replacement. I LOVED my job, and honestly believed I would stay there my entire teaching career. I had an amazing boss who was also my friend. So, naturally, I made Jerrod be the one to break the news to her. A few days later, I informed the rest of my team through tears over a video call. It was one of the most difficult conversations I have ever had to have. We also waited awhile before telling the kids. Trying to find the best timing was hard. We knew if we told them too early, we would be questioned all summer about a timeline we were unsur...

Getting Here

Image
The trip here was an adventure in and of itself! Jerrod is NOT a flyer...which is why we always drove to Minnesota to visit his parents...and has only flown internationally once before (for our honeymoon). Because of this, we knew it would likely be stressful, but we were unaware of exactly how stressful it would be! Saturday night, we spent the night at my parents'. We went to bed early, knowing that our 4am wake up call would quickly arrive. We loaded my Dad's truck with luggage and my mom's car with people and headed to the airport. The company had mistakenly booked the children as unaccompanied minors, so we were unable to do early check in, resulting in all four seats being separate on all four of our flights. Austin to San Francisco - 4.5 hours Sunday - The agent was able to switch our seats so that Jerrod and the kids were together in the very back row, and I had a middle seat a few rows up. It was a nice plane with charging ports and in-seat screens...
