That people think that because I'm not in Hawaii with my husband that something is wrong with our marriage. NOT TRUE!! Here are just few, well maybe more then a few, reasons why I wanted to satay here.
1. I haven't heard good things about the school systems. Yes, there is private school, but I AM NOT paying $3,000 or more to send a 5 and 7 year old to school. Yes, there is homeschooling, but if you have met me then you know that is NOT an option. So, all that is left is public schools and I AM NOT sending them to a school where they get bullied everyday because they are not Hawaiian--or where they are going to have to repeat grades when they come back stateside anyway because the education systems SUCKS!!!
2. My husband is going to be gone often so why would I want to be stuck on an island with people I don't know when I have my hole family and all of my friends here? I don't want to make anymore friends, I have plenty, and they are not caddy, bitchy Navy wives who cheat on thier husbands while they are out protecting and serving our country!
3. My children are already established here, as am I. I grew up here, I am familiar with the area. I have a great job, we bought a house in a great neighborhood--I would be stupid to give it up.
I guess that is all I can come up with now. But my point is, that just because we are a military family and I didn't go with my spouse to his duty station doesn't mean that there is something wrong. Are we happy? Yes. Are we in love? Very much so. Is it hard being away from each other for long periods of time? Absolutely! But we decided a long time ago that we have children now and they HAVE to come first. So, if that means living apart for the next 3 years so that they can have the best education and the best lifestyle possible, then that is what we are going to do. Someday they will be grown and out of the house and Cody and I will have plenty of time together then. And if you think about it, it's really not all that far away. So, please, don't assume that our marriage is falling apart or that we don't want to be together anymore just because we live in different states--because really, all you are going to do is piss me off!
Thank you and have a nice day :)

I did ask Cody that along time ago when I first found out about the whole move and everything. I am very happy that you two are soo happy, I really don't want to loose anyother sister-in-law. I guess the last one didn't really count(Kari). I hope your not emailing this to Kari.:) I like to have sister's, since I didn't grow up with any.
