We have more big news!

Let me first start by thanking all of our veterans. Thank you all so much for the sacrifices you've given. Thanks to all who have given their life to keep our country free. 

Our daddy <3 Chance has been serving his country since 2008. He went into the navy the January after he graduated. He was whirled away to San Diego for school only to fall in love with the city and be relocated to Norfolk. He's been on the mighty Mahan for nearly six years. He's been on two deployments and countless underways. After his last deployment we threw around our options. We were dead set on him staying in. Job security and insurance was the major points in our decision. 

Let's fast forward a few weeks to this recent underway. He wants out. After finding out that baby #2 was on its way, Chance had a large confession to make. He can't take another deployment away from his kids. He doesn't want to spend another deployment at sea. He wants to be home and raise his little ones. This has caused so much conflict with us. 

Chance has no schooling. He graduated highschool in 2007 and hasn't taken a class since. I have an AA but it won't get me a job. I'll have to go back to school for another degree before I can have a career. This has placed me in a very stressful situation. Chance gets out in 3.5 years, I have that time to be accepted to nursing school and graduate. In that time another baby will be arriving. I have a lot to get together and figure out. Chance won't be taking classes while he's in the navy. I'm trying to be a supportive wife and allow him to follow his dreams. I say it like that because Chance's dream is to go to UTI and be a mechanic. They make less then half of what he's making right now unless he gets lucky and scores a great job. That is really scary. The thing that scares me most is UTI has no campuses near us. The closet ones are over five hours away. I really want him to start some college classes but unfortunately it would be a waste of money since no class would go towards his degree. 

As you can see I'm stressing like crazy! I've only been married to Chance for a little under two years but the Navy has always provided everything we needed. I'm excited to finally be able to start school but also worried about my babies being out in daycare. I've been researching both of our career choices and trying to do what I can to get us both exactly what we want. This is such an exciting and worrisome time for us all!
