Freaking out a little bit!

[creamsiclechica]

So West Point people called Matt today. They do have a position for him, which is totally awesome. We thought it would be next fall or summer.

They want him THIS summer. So we'd have like six months to sell our house, get housing there, make plans, and move halfway across the country. AHHHHHHH!

Please don't quote, in case I DD for Army reasons

Position is a sure thing. Just have to get a letter of release from his current unit which we don't think will be a problem. I am so excited and so scared at the same. I'm pretty type A planner so this is a lot for me to take in all at once. Especially when I'm so sleep deprived, haha.

[tuck]

That's awesome! Time to start finding a Realtor!

[creamsiclechica]

Yep, tuck I think we're calling one next week after the holiday. Surreal!

[The Foozzler]

So awesome! And that puts you well within driving distance from me!

[jfh]

(high5) That is so awesome! You have time. It will all come together. I'm so so happy for you guys!

Congratulations to you guys on the new position! 6 months sounds both stressful and doable.
What does this mean again in terms of deployment? I know you explained before that it was part of the reason he was looking for other opportunities?

[TrudyCampbell]

You'll be so much closer to family!

Ahhhh! This seriously makes me well up for you! No missing of the baby/toddler years! (Not that it would ever be a good time to be away from the family but you know what I mean).

[carawestt]

How exciting!!!

[fusion]

[bean47]
