Yes, at this point we have been bit by the “PCs bug” and we can’t imagine our lives without experiencing new places anymore 😬 The military lifestyle is not for everyone and definitely has a lot of other bad parts, but so far, we have loved getting to see more of the world. We’re excited to keep seeing more! Follow me to see my journey starting my career from scratch while adjusting to life in Hawai’i
