Did I just say that out loud?! or should I say 'write that out loud?'
Yes, yes I did. Will has gotten his internship assignment and will be working in Mississippi. I feel like we're announcing his mission call for some reason. Except for we hope to go as a family instead of just sending him away. And we will be there one year, not two like missionaries. I digress. Anyway, we'll be, more specifically, in Biloxi. At the Keesler Air Force Base. AKA: the ocean.
It will be unlike anything I have ever experienced, and I'm sure Will has a few new things headed his way, too. As for Emerson, his first words might be laced with a southern accent. Time will tell I guess.
Now, as for when we'll know for sure whether we get to go as a family or not, plan on later rather than sooner. We are waiting to hear from FAFSA regarding funding for the school, so right now the future of 2012 for me and Emerson lies in the hands of the fafsa people.
At the very least, we are ecstatic. We can't wait for a new adventure together. We can't wait for the climate change. We can't wait to make new friends and work with some stellar professionals. We can't wait to get a hold of some good jumbalaya (New Orleans is a mere two hours away).
Life right now consists of work for me, work for Will (his first internship at a local hospital is halfway over and he is excelling there) , and work for Emerson (trying to grow out of his 3rd percentile weight and 9th percentile length). Any tips for how to survive the humidity will be greatly appreciated.
