Orders!

Woo Hoo!

The day has finally arrived. Orders! Not only do I get to finish the winging banner and post pictures, but we get to look for a place to live... temporarily.

Japan, here we come. I am so excited to live there and in my heart, Japan was my first choice (even if it wasn't first on Blake's dream sheet). The not so awesome news? Training for the SH-60 Bravo takes around a year... and it's in Florida. That's right, the state we were so eager to leave behind has claimed us once more. At least we get to move, though. We'll be stationed at Mayport in Jacksonville, FL. The hunt is on for a place to live. We didn't have a chance to contact the housing office today, but word is, there is a waiting list for housing. Bummer.

So we shall see.

In other news, we went back to the watch store at Tanger Outlets to return Blake's awesome watch. The salesman (who looked like a lost, shy member of the Jonas Brothers) mistakenly told us we could replace the icky plastic band on the awesome watch with a beautiful metal one. We got home (1.5 hours later) and found out they don't make either the watch or the band anymore. I know it's an outlet, but shouldn't the salespeople... I don't know... maybe have correct information?! Oh well. We got to go back and shop, which is never a bad thing. Except, the first half was better, infinitely better. You can't compare the outlets of Charlotte Russe, Banana Republic, Old Navy and Le Creuset to the second trip's Bose, Black and Decker, and some terrible, terrible, random book store.

Tomorrow, the Pensacola Beach air show. Sunday (please, God) we're going to veg out. Monday the work begins because a week from today...

WINGING!
