Late Tuesday night Dee finished up her long drive from California back to Missouri for the last time. She has just finished up the last days at work as a Navy SeaBee and has begun her terminal leave after 20 years of service. We were all excited to have her back here in our new home and we’re excited to begin this next chapter in our lives.
Welcome home, Dee!
It has been some time since I last posted to my blog, there just is never enough time in the day. Here is a quick update.
Dee is due to retire from the Navy next month after 20 years as a SeaBee. Her retirement ceremony is the end of this month on the Port Hueneme naval base here in California. As soon as her retirement ceremony is complete we load into the truck and make the drive back to Missouri.
We’re closing on a house we bought there in NW Missouri a few days before her retirement ceremony. Talk about cutting things close! It’s a nice house; I looked for nearly 2 years before finding this one. It’s a ranch style home with a great kitchen and a full basement. It’s located out in the country off of a state highway and sits on about 10 acres of property.
The girls are excited at the prospect, especially Sidney. She has a very strong bond with her grandmother and can’t wait to be near her. Jasmine is looking forward to being able to spend time with horses. Dee is looking into starting her own business once she is there. She is excited and looking forward to what the future may bring.
