Fort Campbell, Our New Home!!!

Well, if you haven't heard the news, we are off to Kentucky or Tennessee on June 15 for three years!!! Fort Campbell is on the SW tip of Kentucky and NW tip of Tennessee. It's about an hour away from Nashville which I hear is a fun city. The closest "big" city to the fort is Clarksville, TN, so it looks like we will most likely end up there. Housing is ridiculously cheap. We are looking to buy and huge 3-4 bedroom homes with tons of land are under 200,000 some are even under 100,000! BUT, it is a sad goodbye to the city we have close to our hearts, as it is where we met, married and had our first baby. And a goodbye to the state which houses both our families and where we both grew up. (It's only three years:) Hasn't really sunk in just yet, we are somewhat excited. At least we will have cool neighbors:) (Steve and Christy are 2 hours away!) More posts to come......

Congratulations you guys! What an adventure. Definitely a change of scenery. And I do hear that Nashville is a cool city.

And darling pics of Elle and Andrew. What a sweet little thing!

How exciting! One of my brothers served his mission in TN & KY. He loved it there. It's really beautiful, if you haven't already been. Lots of green! :) If I can do Amsterdam for 2 years, you can do TN/KY for 3. I'm sure it will be great! :)

AHHHHH!!!!! We are so excited-I cannot believe that out of all the places you guys could have gone-you will be in Kentucky close to us! We are thrilled! Let the Elms/Horne party time begin! And yes..you will love the fact that you can buy a large house with land for so little. Plus it is green! We miss Cali and our families too but there are some nice changes to being on this side of the country. Can't wait to see you guys!!!

So I didn't know your hubby was still part of the military. How much longer does he owe to them? It is difficult always moving huh, but fun at the same time! I am sure your family is going to miss you guys.

That's crazy! We need to get together before you guys leave. And I can't believe the pricing of houses there! Crazy compared to what homes sell for out here!

That is way exciting you guys! It seems like it will be a fun change, especially since it's not permanent. It's great that you have some connections out there- good luck with everything!

Does that mean you are going to make it to the reunion before you leave?

Jessica said...

Does this mean you are a dentist now? Because I have a really bad tooth ache.
