Moving Twice in a Month

Not only did we get our orders to move to Virginia sometime soon, I agreed to help my grandma move from Wyoming to Georgia. I'm leaving at 5 am on Tuesday to fly out there to help finish packing. We should hopefully be on the road Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. If this trip goes the same way my road trip home from school, also in Wyoming, did last year it should take about 3 days of driving 10 hours each. Then once we are home we are putting the majority of her stuff in storage an moving her into the guest room and I get to pack up my stuff to move a couple of weeks later. Hopefully our move will be smoother after this test run. At least I will be a pro at driving long distances.

In other news I got the biggest laugh when I came home from running errands today. I live in a HOA that's very tight on everything. Yet someone was able to change our sign from "Have a great first week of school" to " Whores Eat 1st" . I laughed so hard when I saw the sign. An hour later it was still there so I did what anyone would do.... Took a pic and posted to Facebook. :) apparently we have starving whores in our neighborhood. This economy is hitting EVERYONE hard!

Orders Are In!!

After a very long four weeks of waiting to find out where home will be we found out yesterday. Marine Corps Base Quantico Virginia. I'm beyond happy that we got a great base near so many things to do. T is already excited about his unit, which is also non-deployable because DC uses them for a lot of stuff. So he will deploy on missions for short amounts of time but not 9-12 months to afghanistan.

Now the fun really starts. I've already started looking at housing which is super expensive. And trying to find a job. All the gifts from my bridal shower are already boxed again to make things easier. My bedroom is mostly what's left but it should be easy enough to pack. Once I get boxes. I should probably start on that.

Happy Wednesday.
