A Complete 180

Are you sitting down. If not, do it; we have some pretty big news.

No, I'm not pregnant :-p

Last Friday Alec's company got their unofficial web orders for duty stations after TBS and other schooling. We were slated to go to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, so we started looking for places. But, Saturday at the ball, another lawyer in his platoon informed us that he was supposed to go to Japan, but his wife was expecting their next child and they would be unable to make the trip together as a family; additionally one of their three dogs couldn't fly because of breed restrictions. So, the two of them conspired, put in a hardship request with the SPC, and as of today it is official: Starting April 29th, we are going to Okinawa, Japan for 3 years!!

What does this mean for the wedding? Well, hopefully nothing. Ideally, we can still plan from long distance, and fly back Space-A (free between air stations) to Texas.

I'm encouraging all of our family members to get Skype, as it is free, intuitive, and a life-saver for long distance relationships.

This is a very exciting development!! Stay tuned as it progresses :)
