Mississippi Girl

On Thursday, March 1, 2012, David found out that he is stationed in Pascagoula, Mississippi on the Coast Guard Cutter Decisive! We are so excited about this! It is just a 7 hour drive from home in Marietta, and it is in a nice area right on the coast.  This station was one of his top picks! He called me around 8 pm on billet night and my heart was pounding.  I had been waiting all day for this phone call.  He tried to trick me by telling me that we were stationed in Michigan, but then he said, "and by Michigan I mean Mississippi!" We are both so happy about this and cannot wait to begin a new chapter in our lives in Mississippi.  We will spend the next two years there, with David on two month tours every couple of months, and me hopefully teaching at an elementary school.  I am going to visit Pascagoula soon, and I am looking forward to checking out the area, looking for schools, and just exploring! This is going to be an adventure and I am so ready for it! Congratulations David!
