Happy news

Fred got word today that his assignment to Fort Leavenworth has been approved. That was at the top of our wish list, so while it's not terribly sexy and exciting (like, say, Germany or Hawaii), we are very pleased. We think that this is the right spot for us for the next few years. Nice, stable job for Fred. Good school for Annabelle. Within a time zone or 2 from wherever Mike might wind up in college. And there's a Panera 20 miles away, so I'll be OK, too. :-)
