Joseph will finish his residency here in Texas in August. We've been in the process of requesting and being assigned to our next base for a few weeks now, and yesterday we found out where we are going! Joseph will be stationed at the Royal Air Force station Croughton in England!! It is a base out in the country, close to Oxford, and about 60 miles outside of London.
It was actually our 2nd choice (our 1st choice was also in England) so we are pretty excited about it. But part of me is terribly scared and overwhelmed! I don't think I expected to really get assigned to England, so I'm still kind of in shock. We will be there for three years.
We have a lot of things to figure out before August, but luckily we've got plenty of time. I am having a bit of deja vu with this, remembering how I felt when we were headed to NYC almost 5 years ago. I'm excited for Joseph and the great opportunity this will be for him, and I'm sure our little family will have quite the adventure!
All friends and family are welcome to visit, so start saving up now! :)

That is so awesome! I am a little bit jealous! We had several bases in England as our top choices and then moved them down a bit on our list. What an adventure! Congratulations!
