North West Coasters

As you can see from the title, yes these Southerners are now living on the North West Coast in Washington State near Ft. Lewis. We were in North Carolina for the Special Forces Qualification Course, but Dusty made a family decision and decided to step away from the course and Special Forces all together. Within just a couple days of stepping away, we got orders to Ft. Lewis and were up and packing and moving within 4 weeks. I put in my two weeks notice at work and then used a week to pack the house. We moved 7,800 pounds in a 26 foot Penske truck, with my car being towed on a trailer, across country, through 13 states, over 9 days. We drove through North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington. We went to Chicago, Wall Drug in South Dakota, Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse, The Badlands, Yellowstone National Park. It was amazing to see all this in one trip and to do it with Dusty!! Currently, we are living in an extended stay in Tacoma while we house hunt and look for the perfect one to buy. We will be very excited to move into a house and have space and a yard back! Bless Paisley's heart, she has so much energy and can't get it out in this room! Thank you all for the love, support, advice and prayers!!! It's been a great adventure and I can't wait to see what God has in store for us here. We are truly blessed!
