This has been a long awaited decision and we are so pleased with how it has turned out. As of October 10th we will be Texans! We are going to PCS to San Antonio to Ft. Sam Houston.
This is such a wonderful thing, and though it was relatively expected, we weren't sure if the Army was going to go for Ft. Sam since Kevin is in artillery (there are seriously no artillery jobs in San Antonio). We don't know how we got it, but we are just feeling very very thankful.
Abbi will be able to go to the hospitals she needs at any time, rather than driving 8+ hours each way several times each year. The primary care facility that we are moving for is BAMC at Ft. Sam.

As a bonus, our move will open up more opportunities for respite care for Abbi, work for me, daycare for Anna, and time spent with family (my dad, my grandma, my aunts, uncle, and cousins).
We couldn't be happier!
Congrats!
