I am so happy that military families are being represented this week at Kelly's Korner. I love her blog, but I also like reading about other military families and their journeys! There are no 2 the same, I promise.
I'm keeping this short :)
We have seen some places in the past 4 years!
From getting married in Waimanalo, Hawaii and being stationed at Schofield Barracks on the island in 2007
 |
| The traveling kicked off for Jeremy with deployment training in California while I stayed in Hawaii |
To living back in Arkansas while Jeremy went and spent 15 months in Iraq. He deployed December 2007
Luckily he got to come home once during his deployment in July 2008
Long enough for our R&R blessing!
 |
| Second Christmas in a row that Jeremy was in Iraq. Also our first 2 married Christmases |
 |
| Thank God for Skype |
 |
| Baby showers with friends and family |
He made it to Little Rock on March 15 2009.....first time he has seen me since we found out we were pregnant back in July. We went straight to my OB appointment from the airport.
Jackson was born 5 days later
Jackson's one month birthday we left Arkansas for the first time as a family of 3. Hawaii bound!
 |
| Spent my first Mother's Day in Hawaii |
After getting settled into our new place Jeremy received orders to move to our next duty station.
So 2 months after we arrived on the island, our stuff was packed and we were headed to Ft. Lee, Virginia and Arkansas for the next 3 months!
 |
| Arlington National Cemetery |
Next stop, Ft. Knox, Kentucky!
 |
| Louisville |
We were at Ft. Knox for a whole year!
Jackson grew so much while we were there
 |
| Lots of playground fun at Knox |
We left Kentucky in October 2010 and arrived where we are now at Ft. Benning, Georgia. We live in Alabama though, so here we are surrounded by Auburn, Alabama, and Georgia fans!!
Ft. Benning is on the AL/GA state line.
I know that home is where the heart is though!
We have really enjoyed our adventures at Ft. Benning
The only problem is that my boy is growing up way too fast during all of this!

My brother-in-law is at Schoffeld now...getting ready for a deployment, but at least he is single. Enjoy GA!
Hi! Found your blog from Kelly's Korner! I love your timeline. We too were stationed at Fort Knox in 2009 and I had a little boy while we were there. Then we moved to Benning in 2010. I'm assuming you probably live in Phenix City, which is where we still own a house. We just moved a few months ago to Fort Rucker, AL. It's about an hour and a half from Benning. I'm sad I didn't find you while we were still at Benning though! If yall haven't found a church you like, or even if you don't go at all, Golden Acres Baptist in Phenix City is AWESOME! We met so many friends there...they are military friendly and kid friendly! If you decide to try it out, send me an email and let me know and I will get some of my friends to make sure and meet you at the door :) It's nice to "meet" you!
Okay, sweet girl this post made me cry!! I am so proud of you and how strong you continue to be. Love and miss you!!
What a blessing that your husband made it home for the delivery! I know being without him through the deployment was really hard. Thank you both for your service!
HI!
Stopping by from Kelly's Korner
wow...your family has definetly been on the move!
We are in Bama too ;) we are reserves though so we don't get the advantage of living near a base.
Hi Amanda! Just visiting from Kelly's link up! I think we were in Hawaii at the same time because we were there 2005-2008!!! We were at K-Bay. Jackson is so cute, I have a 2 year old son too! WIshing y'all best of luck on your upcoming PCS!!
Wow! You have been all over! My husband is at OCS right now and I was just at Fort Benning visiting him last week. It's pretty there!
