"Armpit of the Air Force"


That's right, we got our orders and we are going to be headed to what is considered the "armpit of the Air Force"...Cannon AFB, New Mexico (Clovis, New Mexico). Rikk is not happy about it at all, quite upset actually! We hear that the summers are really hot and the winters can get up to -10 plus wind. The way I see it is there is no point in forming an opinion just yet, because I have never been there. We are supposed to report no later than 17 Jan 2009. This can change to a later date because we are trying for baby #4. We got told by my OB (the head doctor for high risk patients) that if we get pregnant before we go that he can write us a letter of extension so that we can stay until after the baby is born. So, we will keep you posted on that and when we will officially leave. Here is the official website link for the base http://www.cannon.af.mil/ so feel free to check it out.

So I'm assuming that wasn't on your dream sheet, huh? It'll probably be a big change from Alaska for sure, which usually means ADVENTURE! And hey, you'll be closer to us in Kansas :) We could always meet in the middle at Oklahoma City for a temple trip!! Best of luck with the extension too! love and miss you!
