Idaho, here we come!

Grant found out his assignment for his first operational squadron tonight. We are going to Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho!!! This was our first choice, so we are very happy and excited to be going there. Our choices were to stay here, Idaho, or RAF Lakenheath in England. We thought for a while that we wanted to go to England, but after more deliberation and thinking, we decided moving halfway across the world might not be the best choice for us right now. We didn't want to stay here because more than likely we'll end up back here at some point in the future. So, Mountain Home it was!

Grant is excited because the flying is really great out there. Otherwise, the town is small and from what we've heard, there is not much to do. It is about 45 minutes from Boise, which is where most people go to shop/eat/etc. We don't have official orders yet, but we expect to be moving out there sometime shortly after graduation in March. Most people say they are hesitant to go there but end up loving it. The common phrase we've heard is "You cry as you drive into town and you cry when you leave." I guess a lot of spouses have cried haha! I figure I'm from one of the smallest towns you can find...it can't get much smaller than that.

Look for more news on our move as we find out orders and the time gets closer!
