Heading back to Madera!

On Thursday Mark had heard from his Srgt. that they were going to have the transfer list out on Friday. Since im soooo impatient I told him to call the transfer number so they could tell him what he got instead of waiting for him to go into work. Well he called and they told him that they were still working on it and that they wouldn't have it out till the middle of the month. I was sooo frustrated because we were coming close to having to make our decision when we were going to move out since our house in Madera will be vacant soon. Well to our surprise when Mark got into work the transfer list was up. Mark texted me and put that the transfer list came out. So of course I was like... Did you get it or not????? Finally I got a text back and it said, I will be able to come home for lunch.(Mark likes to tease me because im very very impatient). We were so surprised that he got Madera. We are excited to go back home and finally feel settled.
We are going to miss soooo many people here. I have made some really good friends here and Mark I know is going to miss a lot of friends and co workers. We are also going to miss the beach, being so close to LA, Disneyland and the exciting overtimes when Mark got to be around actors and actresses for movies, TV shows, and commercials. Being here has been so great for our family. We are so much closer and stronger.
Once we are home we have lots of plans for our house and we are sooo excited. I will be just a couple months without Mark but he will be able to come home on his days off which are usually 4 days at a time. It seems like everything has been working out for our family and we feel so blessed!
