After over a year in my fabulous house on base, the time has come to move out. With my husband in Japan for a year and graduation quickly approaching, soon there will be no need for me to remain in Northern Virginia.
Since the day that my now husband swore into the Marine Corps, I have eagerly awaited his EAS date (end of active service... the day would get out). With only nine months to go, I must admit that I am feeling just a pinch of sadness.
When maintenance came to do the final inspection at my house I could not help but shed a few tears. These tears were for so many things...it was kind of like the end of an era in a way. While I certainly do not wish for my husband to make a career of the military it has definitely had its good points. (My house being one of the best)
I suspect that when I say my final goodbye to not only Northern Virginia but also Quantico Marine Corps Base, I will shed even more tears. This was the first place that my husband and I lived as a married couple and made so many wonderful memories.
On the other hand, I know so many wonderful new things lie ahead. I am so excited to see what is in store for us post-Marine Corps. Either way, saying goodbye to Quantico will be bittersweet. Who knew I would ever be a little bit sad to say goodbye to the military? The way I felt during the move out process definitely came as a shock!
