It's Official...We're Moving!!

Our orders have FINALLLY arrived and we'll be setting sail on a new adventure to Guam!

'Where the heck is Guam' you might ask, we'll it's over in the south pacific close to the Philipines. Guam is about a 6 hour flight west of Hawaii, approx. 4 hours to Japan and a hop, skip & jump to other places like Thailand, Australia, New Zealand. Let's just say it's far far away from Sweet Home Alabama! We've known for some time that Guam was a possibilty which is how I've been able to let it sink in. We will be stationed there for 2 years and we are so lucky because Aaron already has family stationed in Guam. They have 2 years left with orders as well. I definetely have felt more at ease knowing there will already be familiar faces on the island (which is about 26 miles long!!!!). Through my research it seems Guam offers alot of outdoor activities. It is a hot spot for some beautiful diving, hiking, and waterfalls! It's a mixed culture with several influences like Filipino, Spanish, Micronesian. One thing I keep coming across is how good (& fattening) the food is! Which means I'll be hitting the gym frequently since I plan on living in a swimsuit year round, if it's as hot & humid as I think. I'm nervous & excited about this entirely new world we are about to step into! Then again...when am I ever going to get an opportunity like this?! Aaron & I are both under the impression it's what you make of the experience. We are planning to take as much advantage as we can!
