last blog from FL
Well, it seems life has thrown us another curve ball- one that we taking in a totally positive way! The Enlisted Review Board has decided that Clay is no longer needed in his job, so we are getting out of the Navy! After 10 years, many moves, meeting many friends, having 2 babies, a million unexpected adventures and too many days apart we are able to say that we are at peace with the news. It came as a huge surprise, especially after getting orders, having them changed and moving early, it was 8 days after checking in to the new ship, that we got the news. Clay got the highest review possible the past cycle, getting new quilfications, but missing his advancement by 2.5 points it was time for us to be done. Clay will still be active till the end of June, but not sure where. With the blessing in disguise of the sellers pulling the house off the market while under contract we don't have a place to live in FL and aren't going to go searching now that we know this isn't home. We are planning to undertake the very long cross country drive to WA very soon, as in we will be home before Christmas! Looking forward to this new adventure!

Hi guys - wow life is crazy huh ? I am really excited for your next phase though - I am so jealous that Clay gets to go back to school. We were planning a trip to WA in 2013 (the DMV is insisting I get back there in person to renew!)- it's going to be awesome to have so much family "back home"! Can't wait for more news - you won't really stop blogging until you are home again, will you ???
Horray!!
Sarah I can't wait to live in the same town as you again!!
Good luck with all your upcoming adventures! I hope that we will be able to see each other often since we will be almost neighbors like we were in Japan! :-)
