Mike's reinlistment for another 4 years!

Just wanted to share with everyone that Mike reinlisted for another four years yesterday while he was out in the gulf. As a family we talked about this long and hard and decided that it was best to stay in another 4 years. Mike will no longer be on a boat once he comes back from the gulf. He will now be on what they call shore duty. He will not be doing any deployments and will be home for the most part with his family. During the next four years, mike plans to finish up his college degree and also we will start to make plans of where we want to settle down once he is out in 2010. Mike does not have orders as of now, but we are hoping that by the end of the year we will be heading back east to start shore duty. Right now we are looking at Philly, Pa or Norfolk Va. Either way mike will be working in a wearhouse and definatly not on a boat. This west pac has been enough for all of us. We are so ready to have these babies and just all around be together as a family. I will be sure to keep you all up to date as we go along waiting for the orders to see where we will be headed. Keep us in your prayers and know that we love and miss you all!
