Since you last heard from me a lot has changed! We have left Biloxi, Mississippi and Tanners Training days are now over as he graduated from Tech School. Thank goodness this time in our life has come and gone! With that Tanner got to sew on his Occupational Badge and wear it with honor spending the last year of his life slaving under the guidance of the MTLS at Keesler Air force base!
The packers and movers have came and went with all of our belongings and memorabilia from living in the south. As well as everything that filled our little 900 square foot apartment! As of now our life is waiting for us in a storage unit in Cheyenne Wyoming waiting patiently for us to arrive to what we will soon call our new home. But not until our little detour or as most would call it a major detour. We started out our trip driving the short distance of around 800 miles from what we use to call a home in Biloxi to a hotel awaiting us in Nashville! Spending enough time in the country music capital for us to catch up on rest and continue on our journey north up to Michigan for Tanner to do recruiters assistance and to see all of our friends and family! After a good 10 hour car ride the following day, we finally settled in at my parents home with a nice home cooked meal and 12 days of nothing but pure exhaustion! Tanner and I quickly noticed that being home was not much of a vacation and entailed a lot more stress than we ever intended! But none the less we saw everyone and had a great time. On the 12th day of our stay we said our good byes and headed south again! Although this time our trip was a total of 24 hours and long boring roads with no scenery. The first day we made it over half way and stayed in a hotel in bourbon, Missouri. Which is where I assume bourbon was made. The second days trip was not as gruesome but the farther south we got the hotter it got and the more we were ready to end our drive. Full speed ahead toward the lone star state we stopped once more staying another night on the road with family in Dallas. This made the trip a lot more bearable. Being able to relax and have good conversation with people we don't often see. The last leg of the trip put us only 5 hours out from our destination in Seguin, Texas. And all that much closer to seeing the in laws. Where Tanners dad put him right to work installing doors, and tiling there back porch. Luckily my husband is a machine and loves to work with his hands and doesn't tire all that easily. Tomorrow will be our last day spent here at his folks house where we will then head north and spend a couple more nights on the road and finally finish off our trip in what we will soon call our new home at FE Warren Air force Base.
