To Catch You Up

Since we are finally starting a blog I should probably try to catch everyone up on what's happened the last 5 years. Here's a quick summary:
After getting married, John and I lived in Meridian, MS for a year while he finished up Navy flight training. Then off to our favorite place - San Diego where John then learned to fly the S-3 Viking. We spent one year in paradise, living in PB, spending beach weekends with our dear friends Brent & Stacie, Kathleen, Esther, Sarah, Andrea etc. but sadly had to say our good-byes and leave for Jacksonville, FL. We settled into life in Jacksonville, where we bought our first house (an adorable 1922 bungalow). John joined his first fleet squadron in the S-3 and served two 6 month deployments on the U.S.S. Enterprise. Although he was away a lot, I had some wonderful times in Jacksonville, mainly because of the amazing group of friends I made there. (The Jax Fab 5 - Annee, Kitty, Lauren & Patsy). As one learns quickly in the Navy though, you shouldn't get too comfortable in any one place.... That brings us to today.... We just moved to Anacortes, WA because John will be transitioning to fly the Prowler/Growler. Although adjusting to the weather, we are sure we will learn to love this place! We have a lot to look forward to... family near by (Jay, Deanne, Austin & Jack are in Seattle and Mom & Dad H will be moving to the Pacific N.W. shortly), the arrival of our new baby this November and tons of adventures in the Pacific Northwest! :)
