Gotta love it...

I love being a military wife. My life is an adventure. By the time I get tired of one place, it's time to move onto the next!! I know quite a few people who are very bothered by this. Not me! I think since my dad was military, I feel very comfortable in this lifestyle. Dave and I both are like that. The other day we were talking to some friends and one of them said they had lived in the same house their entire childhood. Dave and I were both shocked by that. What? That actually happens??? Totally wierded us out for a good three days. But I digress. I love being in the military, but I don't love it when things change out of nowhere. Dave came home yesterday and the conversation went a little like this...

"They named the new Dave 2.0 and Ken (his co-worker and BFF) 2.0 today."
"Well, that's good."
"Yeah, Ken 2.0 (I'm sure she has a name but I can't remember it) started today, and Dave 2.0 will start June 15th"
"Great! So you'll have three execs for over a month, maybe you won't have to work so much!"
"Yeah... about that..."
"What."
"They want me to be out of the job at the beginning of July."
"So that means what?"
"Um... how do you feel about being on the road by July 6th?"

Son-of-a.... After much negotiating, we decided on a July 11th wheels up. You see, I had a timeline. Dave is TDY June 1-5, so I was going to wait until after that to really start working on the move. Well, my timeline is a 6 week timeline. Which means, I'm already behind schedule. Dang. If I were a swearing person, now would be the time I'd be swearing. There is some good news. Dave's last day will be June 26th (2 weeks earlier than anticipated!) and he'll be home for a week to help me pack and finish things up. The other good news, we'll be Kansas for his 10 year HS reunion. He was really disappointed to miss that and now is really stoked he'll get to be there. I am just going to be a busy busy bee until then....

Don't even ask me about the house hunt. I've decided we're living in a van by the river and that's final. I can't wait until Dave is a Colonel and they just give us an address upon arrival. I have suggested purchasing a massive RV and just live in that so we'd never have to do this again. Dave said no when I suggested it, but now I get the feeling he's seriously considering it. If that gives you any idea how the house hunt is going.

Baby is good. He's getting fat. Which is what he's supposed to do. :/ He smiles now, which makes me happy. Girls are good too. Just being boogers. But what's new about that?

I think my head my explode. Srsly people. This move may kill me.

I feel your pain. I had 3 weeks from the time we for sure decided to move until we actually moved. It was crazy. Moving is stressful in the best of situations. It'll all work out somehow!
