Time Flies

So Quinn has been back from his deployment for almost a year. 2 weeks and it will be a full year! He heads out for CA on the 3rd and will be gone for a little over 3 weeks. We have yet to live together for a full year yet even though we've been together for over 5. It's been nice having him home again (especially to take over dog duty).
We are just under 7 months away until the wedding. I'm happy that it seems like it's getting so close now even though we still have some time left. A lot of stuff is in place already. We've booked all of our vendors, most of the girls have their dresses, I've been in touch with the guys about tux rentals and bachelor party, and I'll finally get to see our venue in October.
Oh yeah, AND we're moving. Amidst all the craziness of wedding plans we are moving cross country- again. Quinn will get back from California at the end of August. At that point he'll finish training his replacement and start out processing at Fort Lewis. Our current move out date is October 1st. We plan on hitting Utah on the way through and stopping in New Jersey for a few days to get some wedding appointments out of the way. From there we'll make our way down to Georgia. It'll be crazy, but we're excited for the move. We've spent over 2 1/2 years here and although it's nice when the weather is nice, the weather isn't nice often enough. We're ready to deal with some heat and humidity for a couple years. There's a lot going on for us over the next two months, but we're ready for it. After the move it will be the holidays and then before we know it the wedding will be right around the corner. It's sad to leave the friends we have here, but exciting to be moving on and heading in the direction of maybe buying our first home sooner than later. I never thought the Army life was for me and sometimes I still worry that I'm not the best at dealing with all the obstacles, but it's growing on me and I think our lives would be too boring without it.

Pictures

We haven't been doing too much, but I've tried to take pictures of a few things. We got together with Aaron, Kelli, and the girls over 4th of July weekend and had a really good time. I think that's the most we've done in a weekend in a long time. The girls are so funny. It's fun being around them. We also had our engaged encounter retreat. It was weird but nice I guess. I was able to get a few pictures there too. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can work on using my camera more and figuring out the settings a little better.
