Moving Day... Officially!

So, this morning a new crew of people came to our house and are going to put all of our precious belongings in their truck and drive it across the country.


While I laugh on the pack out days, I DO NOT like the move out days. Every single time, these people make me nervous. They are not friendly, they pick up our stuff like it's a bag of potatoes and not the precious cargo that is inside of it..

And today has been a mess. About an hour after this crew arrived, one of the guys said that he was "done" and had to go home. Upon talking to him, he said he has congestive heart failure and had a stroke a couple of weeks ago. I have my doubts about all of that, but whatever. About an hour and a half into this morning, a man from the AirForce came out to inspect the move. He then proceeded to tell us that the box's where not packed correctly, they were not labeled correctly, the inventory sheet was not legable, and that many of the things done yesterday needed to be re-done. So, after a few phone calls, many people have had to come back out! We have had supervisors call us and all sorts of people apologizing for what has happened today. Of course, we didn't' pay for any of this so I guess we won't be getting anything really out of the deal, except for an apology! LOL Just when I thought things were going well!!!

Good news is.. Tomorrow we will be at my parents and Saturday I am getting a pedicure, my hair done, and just enjoying the next couple of days.. If I can get threw today........

Pack up day!!!

The time has finally come for the movers to pack up all of our things.



I laugh so much on this day. It really is funny to watch total strangers pack all of our things. They are like fine oiled machines, packing boxes with no cares in the world as to what it is or its meaning. We have had them pack our ENTIRE house within hours. Shoot, it takes me HOURS just to pack an overnight suitcase!!!



So, bye bye all of our stuff!!! See you in a month!!!!

After many many many people telling me that I really need to start blogging (again) I am going to give this another try.

Our life is about to take us on a great journey. One week from tomorrow, our family will be in route to a new adventure. This time..... Camden, North Carolina.


The jury is still out on this move being by far the calmest we have ever done AND being the most emotional we have ever done.

We have made some wonderful friends here in Friendswood, Texas. Troy is going to be sad to not see his friends on a daily basis. He will miss his older girlfriends just as much as his same age friends. We will miss our family very much!

On the plus side, we will be together as a family. We will be living on a HUGE acre of land. We will be in an area where the weather is a little cooler and we can do more things outside. And this part of the country, MOST of our family has NEVER been! So, when they VISIT, it will be an exciting time for everyone!

Sooo, here is to fun times in North Carolina and southern Virginia!!! 375 days until the next move!
