Things are going very well. We are adjusting and getting into the swing of things. The first couple weeks were pretty tough for all of us, Josh and I in particular. Becca adjusted very quickly, although I think she misses her cousins. She looks at their pictures on the wall and talks to them while she plays. Josh has already had 2 exams and has been very busy. I had a little rough patch because I don't know anyone, and his long days are lonely days for me. Today however, we had a spouses orientation, which remedied that problem. I got a lot of information of volunteer opportunities and other things. Some of the Senior Officer's wives talked to us for quite a while and it was immensely helpful. They talked a lot about what it means to be an Officer's wife and the duties that come with it. I also met several other wives in the same boat as me. Even the ones who don't have kids don't have anything to do all day because none of them can find jobs.

Although we miss the families, it's not as hard as I thought it would be. I talk to them a lot on the phone, and to some of them on Skype so we can still see each other. It's not the same, but it's not as bad as I expected.

Prayer requests would be for me to have the ambition to make the most of my time in Quantico and not be withdrawn, for Becca to remain closely bonded with Josh as he works long hours, and for Josh to perform to the best of his abilities.
