on april 11th, that day finally came! he got a phone call asking him to accept a position & start at the academy in oklahoma city on may 9th. ahhhh! he mentioned baby boy coming at the end of may so she tentatively told him to plan for june 21st while she gets it approved. ON HIS BIRTHDAY (april 13th), it became officially official!!!
dinner date celebrating his birthday and the big news
i am so proud of ashton. he never gave up, even when there were so many reasons to justify quitting. he has found other ways to provide for us as he has waited for this dream. he continued to have faith & relied on experiences we have had throughout this journey.
so our adventure begins! ashton will leave a few days before the academy starts while rooney, baby boy, thor, & i stay home, pack, & miss him dearly. then he finishes september 15th, drives home to us (& hopefully a u-haul completely packed), because we will head to our new (currently unknown) home almost immediately. it is going to be a whirlwind, not easy, but totally worth it type of adventure. & luckily we are surrounded by family to help us along the way.
