The Journey from Oklahoma

Our journey from Oklahoma to Georgia began early Thursday morning at 12:00am. (Stan couldn't leave until midnight.) We traveled ALL day and arrived in Anderson, SC right before midnight Thursday. What a day, but we were so thrilled to be in the South again. When we crossed over the state line into South Carolina we honked the horn really loud. =) We spend a few days in SC to visit family, and then headed to Fort Stewart in Savannah, GA.

Pictures from our trip...

This was taken about half-way in Arkansas. I was already asking, "Are we there yet?" at this point! "

Stan was such a trooper! He drove most of the way, I only drove for a few hours in Alabama.

The is how full our Nissan was when we left Oklahoma! It was slammed packed!! The movers had taken almost everything but we had some things to bring ourselves.

The Last days are bitter sweet.

We're about to start a new chapter in our life...new location, new community, new home, new jobs, and new relationships. This can be overwhelming, especially since we have moved around a lot since graduating last May and because the military life can bring obstacles, but we know the Lord will take care of us. He has already proven himself to be faithful during our challenges and new life here in Oklahoma, and we know He will continue to do the same. Even though this may mean challenges will come our way, we are comforted to know we are in His hands through it all.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone soon as we drive through SC on our way to GA!

Field Artillery graduation

Tuesday was the day of Stan's officer graduation. We were all so proud of him. I'm thankful our parents were able to be there to attend this important ceremony. Stan was one of 120 Lieutenants to graduate.

Our parents visit Oklahoma!

Our parents arrived this past weekend to visit with us and attend his graduation on Tuesday. Sunday we went to church and took it easy. Monday we were able to do some sightseeing! We visited the Museum at Fort Sill, Geronimo's grave, Wichita Refuge, and The Holy City. We had a busy day but our parents enjoyed exploring the area. Below are some photos of our journey throughout the day!

THE MUSEUM AT FORT SILL:

Atomic Annie- it was used to test the Atomic Bomb. Very cool!


Looking at all the old Field Artillery Howitzers.

WICHITA WILDLIFE REFUGE:

We decided to travel a little further in hopes of finding our parents some more buffalo and boy we did! We found an entire herd. My parents posing in front of them.




Next, we found some elk. Very neat!


I tried to get a picture of the Prairie dogs. They were everywhere!!
