Elysia received a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal today and there was a brief ceremony at her office. I played devoted spouse and snapped a few photos. We decided against pulling Citrus out of day care even though having her at such things usually throws in a bit of a fun wild card element.
In other news, the roller’s list is out so we are looking at interesting opportunities for 2009, both geographic and type of job. [Note to self: Since when did I start saying “we” like a typical military spouse?]
It is far from guaranteed that she will get any of the duty stations that she requests, but it is fun to daydream about where we could go once you put aside things such as . . . my career. In the past eight years we have lived apart about three years, including Citrus’s first two years, so that I could keep a job.
In any case, Elysia has new orders for a position in DC that starts next week, so the adventure continues. And since it does not require a PCS (Permanent Change of Station) move, we can continue to pick off the old moving labels that keep popping up from the previous four moves.
