Andrews AFB

So, after all the deliberation we had gone to over Travis AFB vs. McGuire AFB, the military did what the military does and switched everything on us.  We are now departing from JBER on March 15th to Andrews AFB.  Andrews is just outside of Washington, DC on the Maryland side, and just across town from the boy's sisters, which is nice, but the job at McGuire was Shaun's dream job and I applied to two Jersey medical schools just because he was going to be there.  Oh, well, it is what it is.

We're also rethinking our wedding plans.  We never wanted to be one of those couples who get married just for the benefits, but we were planning on getting married in June anyways.  If we keep with that plan, I will have to stay on the lease and keep paying for our current apartment after we move, because I will not be on the orders.  And that's just in addition to how complicated the whole process of moving and everything else will be.  Right now, we're considering keeping our 'wedding' in June, but going ahead and getting the paperwork and everything done while we're still here.  It seems to be the best of both worlds, but we're not sure how everyone will take it.  Thoughts?

  1. Why would we hide it? And really, we just want to have a celebration with all of our friends and family, which we can't exactly do here (how many people are going to pay $800 a person to come to a party in the icy tundra?). Is there something wrong with wanting to keep our family happy (having a 'wedding' they can come to) while still doing what we feel is best for us?
