We are approved!!!

So... You've probably noticed that I wasn't writing much about our upcoming PCS.

I had a reason behind that.

I was scared to. 

The Artist was selected to be in the EMFP Program after our initial medical screening.

EFMP = Exceptional Family Member Program.

It's a program that the military has come up with for member's  who have a family member with a chronic medical condition that may require a special treatment or certain type of facility. 

The Artist has asthma from her being a preemie and she's been seen for it every year since her birth.

Long story short, our base couldn't approve us for overseas travel.

(cue panic attack)

So off to another base our paperwork went... 

Our going with Mr. Sergeant was in the hands of a stranger that we had never met and couldn't plead our case to. That's about when I started to freak out. Then in the middle of that a family disaster struck. 

I didn't want to talk about it. I didn't want to write about it. I didn't want to think about it.

But think and talk about it I did. 

Write about it not so much.

Why not?

I felt that if I wrote about it then it would become all to real. 

Mr. Sergeant called the med group every day for news but nothing was happening

Fast forward to Friday...

I was on base with Mr. Sergeant and he called up the med group who told him 

WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED!!!! 

I jumped up and down, I cried, I screamed, and I thanked God for being so amazing!

Here we are, a bit under a month out and we're going with him. 

I'm so happy and I couldn't wait to share the good news with you all.

Hopefully, we can get everything done in a matter of weeks and be out of here on time!

I'm so excited and can't wait to share all of my overseas adventures with you all. 

Pray for my sanity as these are going to be a crazy next couple of weeks. :-)
