When Ross and I first got married we always threw around the idea of him going into the Military. He wasn't really sure what he was going to do after he graduated to gain work experience and to build up his resume and we always thought that Military service would be an amazing opportunity but we just left it at that. Just an idea and every once in a while we would bring it up.
Well graduation was getting closer and closer and we really started to do our research. For months we debated pro and cons. We thought of everything - compared different branches, different jobs, whether or not Ross would go in as an officer, etc. We finally came to a decision that we both felt great about and we really felt was best for us.
Ross enlisted in the Army for 5 years active duty and he'll be a cryptological linguist.
Which means........ we'll be moving to California for about a year for Ross to attend the Defense Language Institute in Monterey. :)
We are so excited (and nervous) to be starting our lives out west and in this new journey together!
Ross leaves for Basic Training in 6 weeks...
Wish us luck!!
