It's that time again! The Smith Family is on the move and we are heading to:
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas!!!
This is exactly what we wanted and we are so excited for this new adventure. Of course, as with all things relating to the Army this could change but as of right now we are not anticipating that to happen. We will be there for at least 1 year unless Kyle decides to apply for an additional school. We have a lot of friends that are there right now and some that will be staying for a bit so we will get to see them. He has been to Leavenworth a few different time but I have never been so I am excited to see a new place and have E experience her very first (of many I'm sure) military move.
I will say this though, we will miss Louisiana and Fort Polk greatly. We have absolutely LOVED our time here and it will always hold a special place in our hearts because E was born here. It's a special place and I wish more people realized what a great place it is.

We will move sometime in late June so we have plenty of time to purge and get this house ready to be packed up. Like I said in my goals we have a rule that if it hasn't been used in 6 months it gets tossed or donated. That will begin this weekend and I can't wait.
I already have my PCS binder prepped and ready to go, just have to fill it with all the pertinent information and paperwork. I handle all of our moves which makes things so much easier because it allows Kyle to still focus on work and not worry about the things that I can handle on my own. Plus, I like having control haha.
This will be our 5th move and we are ready to get this party started!
Have a great Thursday!
Congratulations for getting where you wanted! The best part about moving is getting rid of all that in used, unwanted stuff!

DeleteI'm glad you got your pick of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. That's the state my mom was born and raised in til she moved to OR in her jr year of high school, o so last century!! I like what you say about purging anything not used after 6 mo. Good goal for me too! I like that postcard, looks like some I have but none of Kansas. Happy packing! :0}

ReplyDeleteHopefully we can get together since we're only about 2h15m from there! I love how prepared for you for a PCS. You're my army wife role model haha :)
