Life lately – April 2019

Happy April, friends! Baseball, warm weather, pollen, and Games of Thrones. Who’s ready for spring?

1. We celebrated our tenth dating anniversary and Mac’s 33rd birthday over the weekend. The weather was perfect, and we drove down to the Golden Isles on Georgia’s coast. We soaked up lots of sunshine and visited two more of Georgia’s National Park Service properties.
2. Mac finally received his request for orders late last week, so we can start planning our move to Kansas. Right now, it looks like we’ll be leaving at the beginning of June. We’re planning to apply for on-post housing at Leavenworth, and we’re also checking out the off-post options as a back up. Any neighborhood recommendations for on or off post?
3. I’d appreciate some thoughts and prayers as I continue with my job search. While we were waiting for official confirmation, I applied for about five jobs. Now that we have a better timeline, I’m going to start looking a bit more intently.
4. I’m not a huge basketball fan, but our beloved Hokies made the NCAA tournament for the third year in a row. We had a good run and made it to the Sweet 16 (for the first time ever in the current tournament format). I’m really proud of our team, but we’re now expecting Texas A&M to hire our coach (don’t leave us, Buzz!).
5. Speaking of Game of Thrones, who’s ready for the final season? We signed up for HBO again (we haven’t had it since we ditched DirecTV). So we’re making the most of our free week-long trial and rewatching the show from the start. Our plan is to finish it by the 14th when the new season starts. Any guesses on who winds up on the Iron Throne?

What’s new with y’all?
