With Dan's new job, they plan assignments 1-2 years out. For instance, we know we are leaving here next summer to move to Washington, DC so Dan can go to school and get his masters. We were told we'd get the follow-on list (summer 2014) in February. We got it Thursday! We aren't super thrilled about anywhere on the list. Our choices are back to Aberdeen Proving Ground (my top pick, Dan says NO WAY, he has had enough of that command), Ft. Belvoir or Bolling Air Force Base in DC (traffic, commuting yuck), Charlottesville, VA (there's no base there, it's an intelligence job so we'd be away from our normal military support, not to mention the commissary and exchange) and Kirtland Air Force Base in Albequerque, NM (so far from home and totally difference from anywhere we've ever lived). We are in the researching stage. Dan will turn in his list early next week and then maybe by October or November we'll know where we are moving in about 20 months. Would you keep us in your prayers? Ultimately, God's got it all planned out. We'll move where we are supposed to move; I just hate this portion of the process (along with the good-byes, packing, unpacking and starting over)!
***Update***
Dan turned in his list
1&2 Charlottesville, VA jobs.
3 Kirtland AFB Albequerque, NM
4 Ft. Meade between DC and Baltimore
5 Aberdeen Proving Ground MD
We'll find out in November...torture as we wait.

ReplyDeleteI understand the heartache that can come with having to decide where you'd like to live off of a list of places you never want to see.
(dh puts in his dream sheet sometime next year...)
I am praying that you will end up in the perfect place, even if it doesn't seem like it at first.
