Sic Semper Tyrannis (A Slight Change in Plans)

There was a reason I included the following picture in the previous post…

The other day, I talked about how the uncertainty surrounding our upcoming move was causing me to exhibit Hulk-like strength with broken glassware as a physical representation of my bundle of nerves. Let me share a little secret – do you remember how we were laughing because the Army was sending us to Tulsa, Oklahoma? A mere three-hour drive from Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, Tulsa would have been an improvement over Lawton and I have no doubt we would have made the best of it – but it wasn’t our first choice.  Have you noticed how I’ve been mentioning Tulsa in past tense? Well, there is a reason for the change – we are no longer moving the Oil Capital of the World.

That’s right – no more Tulsa. And I am okay with that. Because the Army is sending us somewhere else.

In less than two weeks, we are PCSing to the land of Sic Semper Tyrannis.

Yup! We’re off to the Washington DC area – Ft. Belvoir, Virginia to be exact.

To say that we’re excited would be an understatement.
