Our Farewell

Being newly graduated,  we have had the pleasant experience of packing up our apartment and getting ready to leave the place we called home for four years,  Blacksburg.  So many memories have been created here, like meeting Shane, getting engaged, and getting married. As good as it feels to be done with school, it's a scary thought that now I have to enter the real world. And even more scary is the fact that I will have to start it alone because Shane will be joining the Army, officially making me an Army wife.

With this blog, I hope to take all my friends and family in this wonderful, exciting scary, and sometimes sad journey with me; to give you an insiders view to the trsvels of an army wife. My first location will be Virginia beach, where I wait for shane to get done with his seven months of training and where I begin training as an assistant manager at kohls. This week has been filled with farewells and I'll see you laters. Although we are leaving Blacksburg thousands of dollars in debt, I feel like one of the wealthiest women in the world. During my four years in Blacksburg I have been blessed by the people I have come to know and the friends I have come to love. The saddest thing about leaving is leaving those who have become family to me; the ones who have inspired me to become a better woman; the ones who have encouraged me to grow closer to God.

I love you all so much.
