And so we move forward!

That's it! As of Friday, my husband is officially retired from the Air Force.  What a weird feeling it is.  I have to tell you that I don't quite know how to feel yet. On the one hand I'm excited for this new journey, but on the other hand it's sad to see this Chapter in our lives …
