I'm a procrastinator. It's a wonder I ever got through college this way.
I'm supposed to be tidying up. Our landlords are getting out of the "biz", so our house will be on the market in the future. Appreciating our landlords for saving us from 6 months in the Lawton ghetto, I'd like to help them sell the place by not having Erik's crap everywhere when the house gets shown. However, that's become a task since nothing I do or say can rouse him into action. I've given up - if 4 years at a military university didn't do it, I certainly can't. Let it be known though: I'll happily pick up his shoes off the floor dozens of times daily if it means he's here to leave them there...
We're going to North Dakota this weekend to see Erik's grandparents and the rest of his ND fam that I've never met. Should be fun. But I want to have the house clean before we go because a) I hate coming home to a dirty house and b) It might get shown while we're gone.
Enough about cleaning - what am I? June Cleaver?
The plans for the big move to Hawaii are coming along. As far as they can come without the Army telling us when we have to be there... We should know on Thursday though, and on that day I'll go into full overwhelmed mode.
It's not like a regular move where you can pack your own valuables without the movers knowing about them, or move them yourself so you know nothing bad happens. Noooo, this time I have to put everything I own on a ship and hope it doesn't end up bubbling up from the bottom of the Pacific. I'm sure I'm being dramatic but ... it's what I do.
House hunting is going well. Before we knew we'd be going to Hawaii we had hoped to buy at our next duty station. HOWEVER, you can't even look at a decent house without paying half a million dollars, so we're going to be renters for the next 3-7 years. Things are looking up though, ahrn (thanks Jackie) has been most helpful.
So I'm going to try to be more regular at this, and I'm sure when we're less busy and prepping for the next deployment (it's coming quicker than I'd like...) you'll be hearing more from me.
Until next time!
