We're moving to Kansas! On January 11th, a list of possibilities for our next duty station was released. Among the choices were Colorado (our first choice), Florida panhandle (been there, done that, not fixin' to do that again :) ), D.C., New Mexico, North Dakota, and a few more. PLUS Fort Riley, Kansas. Yes, Fort Riley is an Army Post, but apparently there is an Air Force squadron there too, who knew!?
While we were in KS for the funeral, we loved how amazing it was to be close to home. AND with the 1st grandchild on BOTH sides due in August, we figured there was no other place on that list, other than Colorado, we wanted to go MORE than being closer to family. So, we put Fort Riley 2nd on our list. We figured we get CO or KS, since let's be honest, who in the Air Force would put Fort Riley anywhere near the top of their list unless they were in a position like us!?!?
Well, Friday we found out we got it! We will be flying into KCI in late May and house hunting for a few weeks in Manhattan. This will be fun since it's where I went to college and had my first teaching job! Zach isn't quite so excited about all of the purple he's about to be bombarded with, but he'll deal!
A few things I can't wait for:
1. Being so close to family and friends!
2. Having black bean dip from So Long in my TOWN!!!
3. Having 4 seasons, a HOT summer at least 3 months long!
4. Pay at the pump gas- no they don't have that here.
5. A garbage disposal- nope, they don't have those here either.
