Camp Pendleton Bound

Finally! We received our permanent duty station, reserved our on base town home, planned our big move, and are counting down the days! We have exactly 23 days until we leave for Oceanside! We couldn't be more excited. It has been 8 long months since Bobby left for bootcamp and we have learned and grown so much since he left. He is now only a few weeks away from graduating his MOS school with an FAA certification as an Air Traffic Controller. I am so proud of him for all of his hard work. Just so you can understand our journey so far I will break it down:

March 15 2010- Bobby bravely left his 6-week old daughter and wife of 6 months to begin his Marine Corp journey.


June 11 2010- 13 LONG (I emphasize L O N G) weeks, and hundreds of mushy gushy letters later, Bobby graduated from MCRD San Diego. He graduated with a meritorious promotion as a Private First Class (PFC). During bootcamp he was Squad leader of his platoon! After graduation Bobby had 10 short days to spend time with us! We had such a good time together. I loved watching him bond with his sweet Kazleigh.


June 21 2010- Bobby hopped on a plane and headed to Camp Pendleton in Oceanside California to complete his Marine Combat Training (MCT). It was much shorter then bootcamp, lasting only 4 weeks. Kazleigh and I stayed with another marine wife, Liz, whose husband, Jon, was in training with Bobby at MCT. Liz lives in Coronoa, CA which is only 45 minutes from Camp Pendleton. We got to visit our husbands every weekend! I am so very thankful for how generous Liz and her family were for letting us stay with them! We had so much fun!


July 25, 2010- Bobby graduated from MCT and was immediately sent to Pensacola Florida to begin his MOS school. He is now at NAS Pensacola and doing an amazing job in school. I'm confident that he will be very successful in his career as an Air Traffic Controller.


December 2, 2010- Bobby graduates MOS school with his FAA certification as an Air Traffic Controller!!! YAY!

We are so excited for the "training portion" of our journey to be completed and to finally resume our life living under the same roof again! We decided to live on base because it will be a really safe area to raise our sweet Kazleigh and its a great price for living 5 minutes from the beautiful Del Mar beach! We welcome all visitors!! :)

Our sweet baby Kazleigh is now 9 1/2 months old! I can't believe how grown up she is! She is crawling all over the house and pulling up on anything she can get her hands on. She only says three words,"Mama, Dada, and Hi", but she understands many many words! Today her Nana asked her to point to her baby doll's nose and we were shocked when she unsurely pointed to the baby dolls nose. She loves to wave and give kisses! I absolutely love watching her learn new things everyday and am so thankful that I am able to stay home with her. Being her mommy becomes more and more fun everyday!

I decided to make this blog so that you all can keep up with our day-to-day adventures at Camp Pendleton! I am so excited to share our experiences! Thanks for reading!
