We know where we are going!

Finally! We know where we are headed. We are headed to a little paradise called Mountain Home Idaho! Just kidding about the little paradise part, but at least it is close to home! We just found out. We turned in our wishlist in December with Mt. Home no where near the list but in Feb the Assignments officer emailed with a list of 11 bases that no one signed up for. Of those 11 Mt. Home was the best choice for us. There were enough spots that weren't signed up for it made us pretty worried that we would get sent to one of these bases that we REALLY didn't want. So we called the assignments officer and told him we would be willing to add MT. Home to our list. The Sweet thing is that choosing Mt. Home means that the odds of Austin getting deployed are very small. We may go through our whole payback without Austin ever being deployed. That would be awesome. Anyway, for those that don't know, MT. Home is 45 min east of boise and 5 hours from Provo. It's a very small town but I don't think I am going to mind all that much. It is close to the sand dunes so we are going to get some 4-wheelers and go crazy. We will make it fun!
