I will start by getting everyone up to date. In case you haven't heard we have received our next assignment and it is at Hickam AFB on Oahu, Hawaii. We are very, very excited. Bill's new job is at the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command - JPAC. Bill is very excited and can't wait to get there. In his words he expects this to be "a career highlight." For a little more info on his job there is an article from a show that Oliver North did on his job at the link http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,374863,00.html . The boys are doing great. Kyle is going to be going to football camp starting the 23rd for 5 days. Then the first week of Aug. Kyle and Justin are going to a sleep away camp called Camp Operation Purple, a camp for military children, that is actually located in Hendersonville, NC. After that we have a week long camping trip planned. When we get back from that it is time for 4-5 day a week football practices and getting things ready school starting and for the move. We have to sell our pop-up and the Mustang (boo-hoo, sniffle-sniffle) and we will also have to sell Billy's truck but when we get there the plan is to get him a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X. Our plan actually be leaving this base about the second week of December and going down the DisneyWorld for a week and then we will be in NC for 2 weeks and be coming back to Virginia around 29th to sell the truck to CarMax and then get on a plane to Hawaii on the 1st or 2nd of January. I think that just about covers the basics. Oh and for those of you that start Christmas shopping in July we are requesting that any presents be very small or gift cards because we will have already of sent all of our stuff to Hawaii and whatever is received will have to fit in our suitcases. Love you all.
