Parental Story

A quick overview of our lives.

 

Updated April 26, 2010

Like most people know Tom and I met online playing a game called Dark Age of Camelot. We met online in 2002 and met in person in March of 2003. Shortly after Tom moved to Canada with me.. About a year later we decided to start our lives in the United States. We obtained a fiancé visa and married in a court house in Honey Brook, PA on January 6th 2006.

March 2007 I got tired of doing tech support and decided to try something completely different. I left for Army Basic Training. After 10 weeks of Basic Training I was off to Fort Sam Huston in San Antonio, TX for 6 months of advanced class room training to become a Medical Laboratory Technician. Tom joined me there. In December 2007 we packed up shop and drove in our Beetle from San Antonio to Fort Lewis near Seattle, WA. We stayed there another 6 months for my hands on lab tech training. Once again, in July 2008, we packed up shop to include 3 cats and a 3 month old puppy. We headed from Washington State to Washington DC for my first Duty station.

I was working at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research on anti-malarial drug metabolic stability studies.

Tom enlisted January 7th and did his Basic training at Fort Jackson, SC. He then did his advanced training at Fort Huachuca in Arizona. Tom completed AIT in September 2009 and was assigned to Fort Drum, NY in October. I joined Tom in December at Fort Drum. In March 2010 I was honorably dischared from the Army for parenthood. At the same time Tom was deployed to Afghanistan. This is where we are now and awating baby number 2.

I am attempting to open an online buisness. More to follow on that!
