Is this Louisiana?

Never did I ever think I would be living in Louisiana. When we got the orders to Fort Polk, all I could find online was horror stories about how there is nothing to do and in the middle of nowhere. Granted it is in the middle of nowhere and the closest Target is almost 2 hours away :(, I relized that in reality it really doesnt matter where we are, as long as we are together. Devin leaves on Saturday for two weeks for advanced IED training in Alabama. I couldnt believe they are taking him already, but what can I do? Gotta roll with the punches! Trenton is growing up and is officially a toddler! He gives kisses now and waves bye bye, but we are still waiting for those first steps. Jackson is growing up so fast and is still obsessed with Transformers. He just mastered his ABC'S and can point them out in words. I can already tell this summer is probably going to be the worst summer we have ever been in. The temperature is only 80 but it feels like 120 with the humidity. Jackson is starting MMA May 1st and Swim lessons May 8th. He is sooo excited and is very anxious to get in the pool again. As for me, I am adjusting to living on post. It is very different and my Military ID is more important than my Drivers License. They are opening a new PX at the end of the month.(Thank goodness because this one is the size of a shoebox!) You know you child is becoming a military brat when he tells family that he has to go to the commisary and asks what the grocery store is. I will try to post every week and keep everyone updated!!
